SFF build advice, please...

Got the following bits pulled from a Dell 710 xps pc and would be appreciate your thoughts on a SFF to be used to play AVIs on a 42" LCD TV (preferably 1080p capable):

- core2duo 6300 sl9sa 1.86ghz/2m/1066 (good overclocker apparently)
- 2x samsung sata 160gb 7200 (good for raid0)
- 4x1MB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 CL11181
- Palit radeon HD4650 graphics 512MB DDR2, with DVI and HDMI ports (needs 2 slots)
- Toshiba/ Samsung DVD writer (black)

Or should I sell off the bits and buy a few beers?

Thanks, John

Those bits should have no problem running 1080p content to your TV, personally I would get a bigger HDD though unless your planning to stream video.

The fact that hees missing a mobo might cause some problems

Thanks for the replies.

Any advice on a suitable, small case?

Changed my mind. Now looking for a half-decent 15" gaming laptop ;

Any suggestions?
