Asus AT5IONT-I has no external power brick untill the Deluxe model arrives in july, wich has an external AC power supply, WiFi and Bluetooth. So no PSU needed.

If all your looking for is the external powerbrick (which i am) this should work

at least i hope so...would so like to go passive.

it's dead-ugly but it's a good backup plan since functionality and price are ok. I like the VESA mount option.

I'm interested in using this exact case. Not sure if I want to wait for the deluxe version though. How is the bluetooth and wifi integrated in the deluxe version? Is it possible to add it in afterward to the non-deluxe version in the same way as the deluxe version? I know this sounds silly. I don't really need these for my installation, but in case, I'd like to be able to upgrade my machine without adding additional devices to my usb ports. Big Grin

Can't help you with that but the power-solution is a huge plus for me. Maybe tripkip testresults shows that having a PSU inside the case is no problem at all.

I am also interested in the results from running passive. Seeing the heatsink on this thing stopped me from pulling the trigger on the AT3IONT-I, which I've seen some issues with heat when running passively.

Keep us posted!! Big Grin

The case will probably shop tomorrow. From Germany to Belgium, could take à couple of days. I will definitely share the results with you guys.

That RAM is not in QVL for AT5IONT-I and will probably not work.
Can you please report here if it do work with that memory, please?

The Deluxe has a PCI-Mini slot which the standard version of the board does not have. This slot is used for a WiFi card on the deluxe so it's not possible to upgrade the standard version with WiFi in the same way that the deluxe has. I believe Bluetooth is just a little module plugged in to a USB port on the back but I could be mistaken. You could always find a 1x PCIe card and go that route if you need to upgrade but then you really need to think about your case .
