The rig i have in my sig is nice and small but i have that upgrade/change bug and could do with a little smaller case as it needs to fit in my bags to go away with work.
At the moment i'm thinking the items below coupled with a suitable GPU, i take it i'm going to need to go for an exhausting ref style card to keep things cool.
Main use is going to be gaming.
So questions:
1. Will the case handle the heat or am i going to be overheating? ( also would the SG05 cope as that's even tinier)
2. recommend a GPU £2-300 ish looging for long term use.
3. Any spec change recommendations. (poor choices)
4. CPU cooler, quiet and able to make a small OC would be nice.
5. Have been thinking about dropping the optical drive as i hardly use it, any ideas of what to put in its place if i do?
