Case similar to the M10

I have found this case online, I might end up going for this and spending a touch more on the build when I decide to do it

Hi Deep, got your email, many thanks for that

.

The case looks awesome.

Right everyone I have decided to wait for the Asus Deluxe motherboard but apart from that my spec will be

Wesena itx7-2
and the power supply that goes with it
Corsair Force 60GB F60 2.5" SATA-ll Solid State Drive (CSSD-F60GB2-BRKT) - £95.99
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C8 1333MHz Dual-Channel (CMX4GX3M2A1333C8) - £44.99
Samsung SN-T083C/BEBE 8x DVD±RW Slot loading SATA Drive - OEM - 29.99

That should cover just about everything.
Does that seem ok to everyone? I am a bit unsure about the memory, would it be better to go for 8gb or just stick with 4gb?

Also would it be a good idea to change the case fans in there?

Now we enter the waiting game...

Did you buy the Pico PSU from the Wesena site? There is a seller on the Bay that is selling them PicoPSU 120w Power Supply & 90w external PSU.
Would that be adequate or should I get it direct from Wesena?

No, i bought the 130W PSU from the bay, its coming from Canada. Its the one that was reviewed on Silent PC forums. Will email you the link.
It uses 18-24VDC rather than the 12V of the normal Pico PSU's. The 18-24V is better because most laptops have a PSU brick for 19V and i have hundreds of them, so saves me buying a 12V one.
