Hey peeps,
I am putting a PC together for my dad and I am having trouble findng a case. dont want to spend any more than £50 and its got to house-

AMD A8-5500 3.20GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Quad Core Processor
Asus F2A55-M LE AMD A55 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard
Samsung 120GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic
Antec VP350P 350W '80 Plus' Continuous Power Supply

Now the one he has is a PC w***d pre built thing but its quite thin and un-offensive. Its just for browsing and dad stuff so the smaller the better. I had looked at this
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-298-CM&tool=3

Would afull size PSU fit into it as I have never built a small form factor PC before. I am also going to swap the PSU with a modular one. He has windows and everything else so its pretty good for just under £300.
 
One more thing- The review for the black edition says it gets a bit toasty so would I need to add a cooler and if so any ideas considering it going in that tiny case! :) Although I wont be overclocking it so that wont be an issue will it?

Click to expand...

- Power Supply Support: Standard ATX PS2

Yes a normal size power supply will fit that case.

- M/B Support: Mini-ITX

Your current motherboard choice won't fit though.
