Hey guys/girls

I haven't been on here gor ages as I've just been to busy but I am building myself a system and I want it to be small!!! :)

I have been looking a a few of the micro atx cases and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them..

So far I have been looking at a couple from silverstone:

I would prefer one with a 120mm fan space and it must be black. I want it to be as small as possible so I can sit on my desk next to the monitor without taking up much room.

GFX isn't important as I will be using onboard. I am going to use either the asus or gb matx 780 amd motherboard

phenom cpu

4gb 1066 ram

good modular psu, probably HX-520

and probably a raid setup with 2 hdd's

What are the best hdd's these days???? I want 2 320/500gb drives.

I also want to use a decent cooler for the cpu?? I know I will be very limited here. (are the stock coolers on the phenoms quiet?? )

And lastly a dvd burner which I am going to upgrade to a b-ray player later on.


thankx all

Will check back later on.

I would like to know about the stock coolers on phenoms though, are they quiet??
