Any advice warmly welcomed...

I got my components but am still unable to find a case for it to all go in :(

1024Mb DDR2 667Mhz PC5300 Memory Module
HDS-160JJ 160Gb Samsung 7200rpm S-ATA II 3.0Gbs Hard Dr
DRN-AD5170A-BK NEC AD5170A-0B 18X+/-DVD-R Dual Layer Dvd Writer- Black
IO-U2MEDIA33BK 33-in-1 USB2.0 Card Reader 3.5 Internal/External -Black
MBA-CR945G Asrock ConRoe945G-DVI LGA775, PCI-E, GBLan, 7.1snd, mATX
CPI-E6300 Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz LGA775 Processor - Retail
(all this for around 300inc)

The ones I have been looking at are

Ecute Black ATX Case Side Windows 420W ( 50ish which is really my budget)
(not sure if this is any good though as I dont know if it is noisy)

SG01 Silverstone SUGO : This is a sweet case but beyond my budget.

I also saw a couple of mini towers at ******.

Can anyone recommend me one that is small (mini tower or cube) / cute that doesnt burn a hole through my pocket !

why would you spend all that cash on a new rig and not afford yourself a nice SFF case to put it in? £85 that much?

If you're looking at mini towers, you may aswell have bought a full size motherboard?
 
I also think you've got your priorities a bit mixed up, but have a look at the AOpen G325, Antec Aria (if you can still find one as it has the card reader already built-in), Antec NSK1300, ASUS TM250 or the Aspire X-QPack.
 
Also there's the Lian-Li V300, although you'd need to cut the FDD bay internally to get the bigger graphics cards to fit.

I'd recommend stretching for the Sugo though. It's a really stunning little case, and personally, it's between that and the V300 for the 'best' SFF case.
 
yea i was half and half about getting a sugo as the price was abit to much for me. but in the end i saved and got 1. and im glad i did
tho it was still abit price for me

im 110% happy with it to :)

my m8s got a Aspire X-QPack and thats not a bad case

LOL Just came back to this thread after building my SUGO SFF.

It's an AWESOME case nuff said

Thankyou all for the responses - I've read the reviews for all the suggestions but behind the lines you can see that most of them cases are rubbish except for the LIAN LI and the SUGO
