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:

http://www.megabuy.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=61210&ref=ShopBot
http://www.abit.com.au/items.aspx?id=12419
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
http://www.umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=2
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.
