Hi all, didn't get a reply elsewhere
Building a new media/htpc/games machine based around a Corsair 450w modular PSU, Asus Maximus II Gene mobo, Intel E8500, 4gb Dominator PC8500 ram, and a Powercolor HD5750 passively cooled GPU, with a couple of HDD's and a BluRay drive. This will be using my plasma as a display. My current Silverstone LC13 is way too big now.
I also would like to passively cool the CPU if possible, I have a Silverstone NT01 Evolution CPU cooler but willing to consider others?
Now due to recent changes, I now have an Alphason FW1100 under a 50" plasma instead of a hi fi rack, it's shelf width is less than expcted so I cannot put my 19" wide hi fi kit in side by side.
I was after a case that will fit in place of a DVD player, and was looking at these two, but recently finding out space may be even more of a premium are there any others I could consider?
DVD width or a few inches under, (smaller may be preffered as it means I can stick my Pre/power in and just get a new Dac) I have around 20cm of shelf height. If nothing suitable it looks like my new TV stand may have been an expensive mistake.
Silverstone Grandia SST-GD02B (better looking than the one below)
Silverstone Grandia SST-GD04B (can take 120mm fans?)
