Hey folks thanks for reading and please share your thought ;)

I was wondering if this beautiful Chopin could be made into a super solid efficiency Mini ITX Gaming system!

Like this http://tweakers.net/gallery/552287/wenslijst/ the first step would be buying the Case, CPU, CPU Cooler, Workmemory, SSD, DVD and option the best way to create room for the Cooler and GPU.

Like removing the Mesh from the side panel and cut the whole Chopin side panel shape from a plate aluminum that will held with 4 clippers of aluminum and rubber inside the panel whole were the Mesh came out.

Second is would the 150W efficiency be enough to power the Mini ITX system with a i3 6300T or i5 6600T both 35W and a GTX 950 passive 75W ?

As last finish the build with ordering the GPU and install this Little Bad Boy! what's U going to do when it comes for U bad boy bad boy what's u gonna do...... :cool:

Thanks for reply and comments.

The 150W rating is more of a maximum temporary load. PSUs are designed to operate for longer durations closer to 50% load, with the acceptable range usually being around 30%-70%. Outside those ranges (too high or even too low), the PSU starts to become inefficient (draws way more than 150 Watts from the wall) and the DC power it feeds your components starts to become dirty and unstable. So it's safe to hit the max 150 Watts for a few seconds, but you don't want it to stay there for hours while you're gaming.

Also, your power requirements are not 75W (GPU) + 35W (CPU). You've left out...

I don't think 150 watts is enough to run a system with a graphics card.

The case is very small, I am not sure you can even fit a graphics card in. The whole case is 84mm wide and there doesn't appear to be any slots for a graphics card so where would it fit?

To create room for the GPU and CPU cooler the side panel will be expanded and the back is open to create a GPU holding point.

Why isn't 150W enough for a 110W system ?

Like the main panel stays and the Mesh will be removed and from there 1 clipper in each side.

Outside of panel |___ 3CM room |___ clipper to inside of panel __|_| attachment.

110w out of 150w is pushing the PSU quite hard and that's if it can output its maximum power reliably, I am not sure of the PSU quality. The case isn't designed to have a GPU so the PSU is specced accordingly.

I may be missing something but I can't see how a GPU would fit through the mesh, the GPU is 210mm long and the case is 217mm deep so you would have to remove the whole side panel to fit one in as the gap around the mesh looks bigger than 3.5mm either side?

Also, your power requirements are not 75W (GPU) + 35W (CPU). You've left out power for the motherboard (5-10W), memory (1-3W), drives (3-5W for a 2.5" HDD or SSD, 5-7W for a 3.5" HDD but 20-70W when first spinning up), and fans (1-5W).
