[easyrider]

Hi,

I have a spare micro atx mobo and chip lying around and was thinking of building a pc for the lounge for mp3's and films etc..

anyway has anyone had experience building one using the OcUK Value Aspire X-Qpack Cube Case ?

Was wondering about build quality etc..

Read some reviews and they are promising but first hand experience is always better.

thanks

Thanks for a great reply.

1:so what did you do in the end psu wise?
This is the most important part of any psu imo.
Did you fit a full size one in?

2: The window ,I quite like the challange of making it look neat in there

3:Is it worth the money?

4:great

5:great

6:greater still

7:xp 90 out of the question then? what low profile cooler could i use to cool a opty at 2.8ghz?

8:no problem ill get a silent x or panaflo

9:me too but depends how bright they are

10:I know someone has mentioned Biostar TForce 939

so overall are you pleased with it?

its either this or a shuttle snp25

With the info about the psu it comes with I'm leaning towards a shuttle just a bit.

I mean £70 for the aspire then another say 50 for a good psu.

Thats already £120 then £50 for the mobo thats £170 its suddenly doesnt look that much of a budget ssf anymore.

(change of plan I have decided if building one to get another mobo and chip.
The chip I have lying around is a p4 1.7ghz and cheapy asrock matx mobo.So i think if im going to the trouble I might aswell go the whole hog! )

Although building it would be good the Shuttle XPC SN25P Aluminium Barebones System is smaller and only costs a few quid more.

seen a review of the aspire here

and the handle looks really filmsy and the hdd cage is really loose
