getting into mini form

I stumbled into the ITX idea when the 775 mobo in my HTPC needed replacing.
As the PC runs for most of the time, I was interested in something with both performance and low power draw.
My Atom notebook is just too slow for relaxing sofa use. I settled on a 1155, using a 2100T and Gigabyte H67.

I absolutely love it, it rips DVDs quicker than my main rig, runs very cool with a single inaudible stock fan and has perfect bluray playback. It looka a bit lost in the massive case, I am thinking of swapping to a Wesena ITX7..

I was thinking of getting one of those cases but didn't know anyone that had one to ask if they were any good. Much cheaper than the origen ones. Are you going to get the PSU from the same place as the case ?

thinking about it, mainly to get the single slot for a 5670, but in the meantime iI bought this to see if I can mod it.. with a pico psu

this is the cooling idea
