I'm about to upgrade some of my main PC's components, but I want to use what the parts I intend to replace for a new PC for my sister. I want a barebones kit with a case that looks stylish and is relatively compact, but that can fit a 8600 GTS with a Accelero S1 cooler. The CPU is a E6750.

Any ideas?
 
I have that Shuttle as a WHS, so it's on 24/7 with E6320, 2x1Gb RAM, HD3450 and 3 x 1TB drives.

For the price it's quite good, but things can get a bit hot in there. There are reviews and articles which show a 8800GTX will fit and the PSU is good for 4 sticks of RAM an OC'd Q6600 and a GTX, so it's quite efficient for a 400w unit.

Your point regarding whether the Accelero S1 would fit, I'm not sure. If you post a photo of it on the card I could give you a guestimate. One thing for sure, the PCI slot would be totally blocked.

The unit is compact and looks neat and tidy, not sure how loud the Shuttle fans would be with hotter CPU under more load though?
