    Hi All,

    I have been lookin into a new PC, have a few parts already but have a question/ challenge. Is it possible to build say a gaming pc using a case like Thermaltake LanBox Lite and fit a full atx PSU, about say 600W and a 4850 or even better a 4870 without it exploding in a ball of flames? Reviews have said it would fit an 8800GTX so space is not a terrible issue and it is supposed to have a faily good amount of airflow.

    I'm likin the idea of a compact gaming pc that wont take up too much space and be able to look the part.

    Any ideas would be great.

    Regards,

    DWolf

    Nothing wrong with smaller cases as long as you keep good cable management.

    I'd go with the Silverstone Sugo SG04. Having used 1 of their towers I think they're 1 of the best in terms of build quality, although you pay for what you get.

    Small form factor is where its at!

    Go for the ASUS P5E VM HDMI its as good as / better than most full ATX boards ;)

    If you dont want to be limited to an m-ATX board the Lian Li PC-A05B is a good option, Its the smallest ATX case and its very nice :)

    The lanbox cases seem good too though :)
