    Hey guys, i have a few spare parts knocking about and want to build a matx pc.

    I have a q6600 and was wondering where would you pick up a socket 775 matx mobo these days, and does anyone know what would be a decent one to go for, or is it a case of get what you can find :o

    Need a case, would prefer a cube case, anyone recommend a good one?

    And lastly, a cheapo gfx with hdmi out to hook up to a tv for playing vids.

    Thanks a lot guys.

    As for Cube cases, I don't know enough about them to give a good option I'm afraid. Do you need one with a PSU?

    I have an Asus P5E-VM-HDMI motherboard for my main machine which is socket 775 but also has HDMI onboard (and decodes hi-def stuff without trouble) as well as a pretty solid sound setup - I run digital coax into my surround sound speakers (Logitech Z-5500) , but it supports optical and 7.1 speakers too.

    where did you get the mobo, had a quick search and couldn't find it listed anywhere.

    What case do you use btw?
