SFF Build Questions..

[Chandler_90]

Just a few quick questions about a potential SFF build.
For quite a while I've been thinking about buying a Mac Mini to replace my rig in my sig.. But I've only now started to consider moving my rig into a SFF case..

I don't have the 295 GFX anymore but do have all the other hardware.
I'm willing to change to the MB to either ITX or mATX if required.

The only thing I really want is for the case to be kinda minamilist and to sit horizontal.. As those two features are what attracted me to the Mac Mini!

So what case and what MB do u guys recommend?

Hope people can help me.. I have no budget ATM.. I'm just at the thinking stage ATM

Either option really.

I would like to be able to run 1080p video files from the build.. So if that requires a separate GFX card then I can certainly stretch to suit.

At the minute I have an 8800gt installed. It's quite big so I may have to replace it anyway

After a bit of research I think I've came to a conclusion!

The case I'm using will be a Shuttle XH61.

I'm going to sell my i7 920 on MM and purchase a 1155 i7 in its place..
Or perhaps even an i5!

Then I just need to find a decent low profile air cooler..

I think everything else will fit in
