This is my first build log, however I have built quite a few PC's before. 
 
Just migrated my ITX build to the Hadron Air. The case is fantastic and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to build an mITX PC. The case is wonderfully small, and it can be quite time consuming to route cables and ensure everything is going to fit in, however if you pick your parts carefully, you should be okay.
 
Parts List:
  • Intel i5 3470S 2.9Ghz
  • Gigabyte H77n-WiFi MITX motherboard
  • EVGA GTX 770 SC ATX Graphic Card - Removed the ACX Cooler and added a titan cooler.
  • Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB Memory (2x4GB)
  • Crucial 120GB SSD (Boot drive)
  • Seagate 1TB LP (Everything else)
  • Evga Hadron Air case w/ Evga 500w Gold rated PSU
  • 2x Corsair SP120 PWM Quiet Edition

Here are the boxes for my components used.
 

Ordered from Scan.co.uk for next day delivery! Case arrived well packaged.

Straight out of the box!
 

I like the top of this case :P
 

a small scuff to the paintwork, but it's not a problem

Side panel off!
 

USB and Audio ports
 

 

I replaced the top 3 pin fans with Corsair Quiet Series PWM ones, I never tested the originals but reviewers say they are quiet.


4 pin fan splitter

GTX 770 SC ACX (EVGA of course!)

Sorry about lack of pics for the cooler and motherboard, but I pulled these straight from my previous build. It's a i5 3470S, with the Phantek low profile Cooler on top.



Discreet power LED :)

Final photo of the build, I added some white LED's. That ugly Blue USB 3.0 Cable has been connected to an adaptor and plugged into an internal USB 2.0 Header. 
 
Apart from that the SATA Cables will need adjusting to hide them from sight and I can honestly say this case isn't as hard as I thought it would be to put all my components in. The case is a tight fit but everything will go together with a little forward planning.
