    i'm looking to order a case something like this, but most retailers in the UK charge exorbitant amounts to ship it over here (think £20 / €30), which is crazy money since the case is smaller and lighter than a standard atx case.

    i've looked at linitx.com, mini-itx.com and itx-warehouse.co.uk, but they pretty much all charge the same thing.

    has anyone any idea whether there are any retailers in ireland that sell mini-itx cases?

    ta.

    What type of box are you building?

    i.e. games, light usage etc....

    The case you are looking at there would be geared towards using the low power low heat via eden stuff.

    As regards this country you are prolly looking at buying a shuttle box.

    If you want a proper m-itx case then you will be ordering from england.

    Have a look at the SUGO SG01 on this page. (takes full size PSUs)

    This would meet your needs if you are building a high power M-itx pc.

    Or have a look at the     [SIZE=+1]OcUK Value Aspire X-Qpackhttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/OcUK_Value_Cases.html

    It comes with it's own psu: but this is not standard i.e. not very easily replaced :-)

    i already have several epia boards, it's for one of them. that OCuk case looks nice... i already have one of these, which accepts standard 2.5" laptop disks (well, moreso disk). but i'd rather have one of these, as you can cram in 2 3.5" disks =)

    it's for a low powered video & net machine to connect to the tele. works fine now, it's an epia m10000 (1ghz processor), but i'm limited to a 12GB old laptop disk. i have numerous 3.5"s lying around however, noteably larger than 12GB.

    You know what you want: it's half the battle ;-)

    I'd say bite the bullet.
