First just to say I posted this in case central but its kind of got away from being about the case so sorry mods!

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
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit

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/showpr...-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!

I wont be overclocking so the stock cooler should be ok shouldnt it?

Got a 5800K build here with the stock cooler, it's fine. Stock cooler should be fine for your AMD A8-5500.
 
 
I like the case in linked though. They don't work because they not links. Just model descriptions. Thanks for that build though I may get that with the small case. Always wanted to see what these small form factor cases are like

All I get when I click on the links or whatever you want to call the is "Error 404. Page not found".
