QUestions about a new build and which case?

sup2jzgte · 03-07-2008, 03:31 AM

I have some questions about a few different topics but its all related to a small build I'm doing.

I'm building a basic PC for VERY little gaming (older games), Music, Surfing and other basic functions. I already ordered the OS, Ram, Mobo, and Processor, now I have to order a case and possibly a PSU. The only stipulation to this is I need a good small case because of where its going. I dont really care about the look of the case so much as I do about functionality and reliability of both the PSU and case.

So in searching around I found this case http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...04-BLK&cat=CAS Which is pretty much what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if the PSU with work with what I'm going to be putting in there. I'm also concerned that my Nvidia GeForce 6600 wont fit either.

Here are the parts:

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813128056

Processor: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16819103194

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820211066

Hard Drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136073

CPU Cooling: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16835185125

OS: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16832116049

Video Card:
http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/n369.pdf (I know its old, but I dont need much)

So will this case and PSU work? If not could you recommend something similar that will?

Now onto another question.......................should I use the video card listed above or just use the onboard video?

PSU's that come w/ cases are usualy sucky. And this case w/ psu is only $24 it wouldnt say its too good. It probaly best to by thwe case and psu seperate. The best cheap case i think is the ELITE 330. but if u dont like ite, a lil more is the CM690. if windows is ur style the thermaltake m9's are tight.

Is geeks the cheapest case sellers around?

See newegg shipping sucks cause they don't do ground only 2-3 days

Geeks has ground 7-10 days which I don't mind waiting in some situations

Plus their cases are cheaper

I like the look of those cases, but for where I want to put it they are just a tad bit to big. I kind of figured I would end up buying a different PSU, but finding a PSU to fit into such a small area seems to be rather hard.
