Welcome to tossing studio, today, let’s talk about a “white prostitute” case made by Xianma interesting.
A few days ago, I accidentally found a brother who was going to move on Xianyu. He shot a case made by Xianmaqu, ASUS b365M-A and a Yajun G3 radiator. A total of 330 free shipping, and a 9cm one arctic fan.
Good seller
I think this should not be a loss, plus I just want to play with the small case, and I took it down after a chat. After the test was completed, I sold ASUS B365M-A for 240 times, which is equivalent to eighty or ninety yuan. I took a with a JD price of three hundred yuan.
Considering that the pictures I took are very ugly, I will not go to the picture above. You can see the pictures on the official page, the size is still relatively small, and there is also a pure white version.
Chassis size
According to the product description, this chassis is actually an itx chassis, but it has the advantage of being compatible with m-atx motherboards and atx power supplies. That is to say, using it you can meet the needs of small-sized chassis At the same time, save the budget of the sfx power supply, and directly install a half-module or full-module atx power supply.
After I bought the case back in September, I kept eating ashes. I didn't arrange it for my relatives until the National Day. Because the main function is to do office work and watch TV, I activated an idle i5 3470 at home, and found an Asus P8H77-m on Xianyu. It was a bit more expensive, but I didn’t use B75 or H61. The reason for the motherboard is that those boards are old, not for their own use, for fear of trouble.
I use the remaining Haiyun CORE, GM-650 half-module, don’t ask me why I use such a large power, I am not small, the small ones are all full modules , I'm afraid that there are too many cables, and I can't change the power supply if I change the platform in the future.
The memory is the four remaining memory technology ddr3-1600 4g, and there is a hard disk, which is also left before, Samsung 860evo 500g, the heat dissipation is Limin AS120, plus a Limin C12, a handful of Owl NF A8 (Yes, I'm such a prodigal), probably so many things.
Then, at the beginning of the installation, I encountered the first minor problem. Let’s take a look at the motherboard fixing screw holes made by Xianma Qu:
Xianma chassis motherboard fixing holes
There are eight in the picture. A copper pillar can be used to fix the motherboard, but the ASUS P8H77-M I bought has eight screw holes, but the arrangement position and the chassis design are slightly different.
ASUS P8H77-M
If you observe a little bit, you will find that 7 of the 8 screw holes on the motherboard can be matched with the one on the Xianma Quzao, but I marked the red circle because it is in order to avoid The south bridge chip is slightly lower than the hole on the left, and the design of the first horse fun is parallel, so this hole is actually not right. So, after the installation is complete, it becomes like this:
P8H77-M installation drawing (partial)
You see the hole in this position, I did not install the screw, if you often Repeated plugging and unplugging here may cause the motherboard to deform.
At first I thought that the motherboard I chose was too old. Then, I checked several current mainstream ATX motherboard models and found that all of them would encounter this problem.
MSI B560M mortar
ASUS B550M Heavy Gunner
ASUS z590M-PLUS
So please pay attention to this design flaw.
then,When powering on, I encountered the second minor problem with this motherboard.
The power supply made by Maqu is installed in the front of the case, so it needs to be connected to the power socket on the back of the case through a C13 to C14 extension cable.
Power supply bit of the first horse chassis
However, the extension cable provided by the first horse, the C13 end is a right-bent head.
I have done a miracle once, and it has been a little deformed
Let’s take a look at the ATX power supply installation position made by Maqu from the top:
Then compare Haiyun Power’s Screw holes, you will find that after installation, the power socket will be very close to the right side frame.

Then, the jack of Haiyun Power is in the position as shown in the figure, so when you plug in the right-curved cable given by Xianma, the line will die. If you live on the right side of the frame, it is easy to bend the socket if you work hard to achieve a miracle. This is definitely not a good choice for a long time.
If you want to say that you are doing miracles vigorously, it is okay. The picture shows the result of my miracles vigorously. Please see:

The interface is on the side, or the direction of the interface is opposite to that of Haiyun, with the original line of Xianma, you will almost never encounter this problem.Only me sea rhyme, unique, has become a miracle in the power interface design world.
Therefore, this second problem is not a problem created by Maqu, but a problem with Haiyun, but at least here is a reminder to everyone, I hope the brothers who buy this case will pay attention to it.
The air duct recommended by Xianmaquzao is a vertical duct, blowing from bottom to top, but with my cable management ability, I really can’t install a fan underneath, so I only installed the Owl NF A8 and let the air out. , A Limin C12 is installed on the top to let the wind blow out. It is roughly the way of building a traditional MATX case. Fortunately, there is only one i5-3470 in the case.
The last finished product picture, the small case is placed on the TV cabinet, think about dozens of almost white cases, it is acceptable.
