ITX Case

CheesyPeas · 8 May 2006 at 17:52

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a case as close to the same size as the morex cubid series as possible, but with space for a pci card. Preferably 100mm tall or less, width and depth dont really matter.

Cheers in advance

EDIT: It Must either have a psu or enough space to mod in a flex-atx psu

That is a very tall order you know, as your jumping around the form factors, custom I would imagine is the only way to go although I would be pleased to be proved wrong.

If I had the skills, tools, and time thats the road Id take but unfortunately I have none of the above!
Ive got a couple of freeview boxes that i dont want, I might see about modding one of those although I doubt Id be able to do it well.

Had a Sp1300 board in one, with 2 pci slots using a splitter.

Can't seem to find any info on this one, do you have a link?

Cheers guys, keep the suggestions coming

Cheers for that mate but that seems completely out of my budget

No competitor talk please!

Anyone had any experience of this case?

The newer cubid's dont have room for a pci card, that one does. That was my only objection to the others. I might just take the plunge and if I dont like it I can sell it on.

Cheers

not from what it says on that site, it states they cannot take a pci card, this is the one in that series that does

if someone can verify please do, I would prefer the Cubid 3677 or 3688 but it says they cannot take a pci card.

Well i found one that meets all the requirements and Im happy with it. It cost £70 which I didnt want to spend on a case but I think it was worth it...

What do you think? Could I of found anything better for the cash? It has space for 1xslim optical & 1x3.5" hard drive, although with abit of thought it could fit another.

oppinions?

That is the Hiper one is it not?

Yep, although it was just listed as "slimline media case /silver" so I couldnt find any info on it before I bought it.

Ok case, quite a nice looker.

Bit pricey but if your willing to spend the money nothing wrong with it from a case point.

What was it like to build in?

Not too bad at all. The drive bay slides out and as long as you connect all the cables to the drives before you install the bay then its very simple.

The really good thing is that the psu has all the connectors I would need for one of the pentium boards, which Im gonna buy next month
