Hey guys, I need a new computer but it needs to be pretty different!


I'm a video editor along with rendering large videos, 3D work and I like to play games on high graphical settings (Crysis, Assassins Creed, Counter Strike Source, Half Life 2 episodes) and I will be buying games like Battlefield 1943.

I move around a great deal, back and forth from parents, University and Lans so this is why i've decided I need a small form factor PC that backs a powerful and more importantly a future proof punch.

At the moment I have these PC specs: Asus P5E motherboard, 8Gb 800Mhz Geil Ram, Nvidia 280 1Gb Graphics Card, 1Tb Harddrive and a 750watt Corsair PSU. If possible it might be an idea to take the Graphics, HDD and PSU and put it in my new computer.

Although my little bro wants a PC so I could happily give it to him and afford a new PC around the budget of £1500.
I need the computer to be as small as possible, such as this -http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-154-LL&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=187
And the type of power that I would like would be this package - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-003-OB

I know it's not possible to fit that motherboard into that PC but hopefully you get the jist :D


Thanks for reading the essay, all help is appreciated.
 
hows this look?
Obviosuly if you do want to give your pc to your bro just add in a new 285, decent psu such as bequiet and hdds (WD cavair black) and optical drive

Is that Lian Li case the best around for small PC's? Or is there another case on the market better suited to my needs?

Thanks for the specs :D
