Need SMALL case!

[Shane]

Hello people,

Okay so i want to make use of my old HP rig,its going in my sisters room for basic web surfing,watching films and email,nothing more.
It consists of the following components.

AMD Sempron 2800+ 2Ghz
ASUS A7V8X-LA
1.25Gb of DDR PC3200 ram
400W ATX Power supply
120Gb Seagate hard drive
Will run Xp pro sp3

Problem is,the case its in now (Mid tower)is too big and uses too much space in her room,so i was thinking of rebuilding it into this case.

Im pretty sure it would all fit in there right? but the power supply,cant see enough room for it?

No PSU included - Is compatible with any Standard ATX Power Supply



Straight from the Case spec

 

[Shane]

But do you think heat would be an issue?

Im only going to be running what ive listed,no graphics card as it did have a 9600 pro but il just use the intergrated on the motherboard.

 

[WeatherMan]

Doubt it

 

[Shane]

Just found this case too,Its cheaper and still nice looking.

I want a case as cheap as possible,not realy into spending much on this old rig but at least it will get used

That case will do fine, just keep in mind it'll be a pain to build in, due to the awkward layout.

 

[Shane]

Yeah it seems perfect for what i want,according to the reviews an ATX psu sits at bottom of case in behind the front panel.

Odd place for it to be but if you can see by the images theres actualy a vent hole so the psu can exhaust the heat.

I know its going to be awkward to build in but thats part of the fun :good:

A lain li for £20....hehe i dont think so,Lian li cases are such a ripoff.

i know they are good quality cases but they ask too much for them.

I would get the first one you posted. To me it looks nicer and easier to build.

Lian li cases are such a ripoff.

Have you had one before?

 

[Kornowski]

Have you had one before?

Uh oh, Shane. Run!

 

[Shane]

Have you had one before?

was looking for a new case for my rig in sig some time back,i did consider a lian li case until i seen the prices and then thought NO :good:

Im not saying theyre not good,from what i can see theyre very good cases but at the time,there are better cases for around the same price.

i mean look....£72 for this....

would much rather have this case for cheaper

i can get this case + psu for an extra couple of quid

....just shows how much of a ripoff lian li are.

 

[Ramodkk]

The CM690 is a very nice case but still, I don't agree with your statement. Again, how would you know if Lian-Li's are really worth the cost if you haven't used them?

It all comes down to personal preference anyways.

 

[ducis]

lian li cases are worth every penny imo, think of it as getting one case so you never have to buy another one

 

[just a noob]

i suppose you wouldn't want to look at windy case's(its about 100 yen to 1 dollar): http://www.windy-online.com/case/altium_vr/1000g/lineup.html
