I am planning on building a new machine for when Ivy Bridge is released.
My current system will be used for as an HTPC downstairs by my dad and the case I have now will be used for our Home Server.
I am going to be downscaling, but still want to be able to use a full length graphics card in it.
I have seen a couple of cases:
the Fractal Design Define Mini:
Define Mini
The Lian Li PC-Q25B or the Lian Li PC-Q08B.
I am going to be putting 1x SSD, 1x Green 2TB hard disk, and running 2x 24" monitors off it.
Will be for moderate gaming, plus a bit of photoshop, and programming.
Ideally I would like something that is about half the height of the Antec 300.
I already have 16GB of RAM that I will either use completely in the new system, or split it in 2, depending on the board.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Budget is going to be approximately £1000.
