    This case/barebones kit
    and the following:

    considering it has these expansion bays/slots free,
    front accessible - 5.25" x 1/2H
    front accessible - 3.5" x 1/3H
    internal - 5.25" x 1/3H
    processor
    AGP 8x
    PCI

    could I put the GFX card in the AGP slot, the tuner card in the PCI slot and the DVD drive in the 5.25"
    bay? Also is the above all compatible (with each other and the case)?

    excluding keyboard, mouse, monitor etc... am I missing anything? also would it be awkward working in such a small case?

    jumbone, that barebones case has Socket 775 mobo... doesn't go with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz Socket 939.

    edit: What about this one Shuttle SN95G5V2 Barebone S939 Black nForce3 Ultra,AGP,S-ATA,GbLAN,240W
    it's €325 tho?

    Thanks lkman, i found an intel that is socket 775 [edit]linky[/edit].
    I heard AMD were better due to efficiency and heat but was not dead set on it.
    I might stick with the intel as the case i chose was kick-ass
