Hi everyone, hope someone can help out.

Dad is looking to purchase new computer. He has a pentium4 shuttle at the moment so quite a few years old....

Will just need a base unit and a copy of windows 7 basic.

one requirement is that the case needs to have a similar footprint to a shuttle and quiet as it's a small desk it will sit on. Been looking at the lian-li pc-q08b and he's happy with the size.

secondly, he has also kitted out the room with a big tv and will be looking at using the system to stream films through the tv. would it require and other hardware?

Nice spec but remember it's not a modular power supply so it will make cable management very hard
 
I would struggle to better RJC's build although im not fussed on the board (Foxclown). Can we not get an Asus board or Gigabyte into that budget??
 
Nice spec but remember it's not a modular power supply so it will make cable management very hard

With the BeQuiet being a low wattage power supply there would be only a few cables to worry about, also as all the cables come out in one area sometimes they can be easier to organise than a modular with the cables be connected across the back of the PSU.

thanks guys. one thing i forgot to ask is about the cooling. would the stock coolers with the cpu's be adequate and fit inside the case or am I looking at something else.
