    Thanks

    You no they also make a Towe case model of that :). I have been told these are a bit heavy but then what steel chassis case isnt.

    Yeah thanks. I am thinking about it as a media centre/gaming pc that I am going to plug into the DVI on my LCD tv. In order to convince the fiancee it will have to fit in with the rest of the AV stuff (DVD/VCR, PS2, etc) and not really look like a PC sitting there. Thats why I like the look of this one.

    According to komplett it is 9 1/2 kgs which seems average for a case. You would think it might be lighter on account of it's smaller form but I can live with the weight.

    Oh, yes, aesthetics :rolleyes:, i had the same problem with my HTPC. Mom doesnt want anything that remotely looks like a computer.
    Should look good

    i used the tower version. VERY sturdy case and well built. Not very roomy though, but depends what u put in i suppose. Cooling is average in them. But build quality is very high standard. The tooless design rocks aswell :D

    Thanks gline, not thinking about putting too much in it, so roomisn't too much of an issue. What was the noise levels like on it, quiet or loud?


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,815 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    it'll be as quiet or noisey as you make it.

    Choose your components carefully.

    Is 300W power supply enough? Is it a standard size in case I want to change it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,815 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    480W Fortran, about €70 on komplett.ie
