Im looking to build a SFF system to fit inside the cabinet beneath my TV. It is for light HTPC / Gaming / iPlayer / server use and so must be versatile!

I have the following parts spare:

HIS IceQ 4670
WD Green 2TB
Copy of Win7

and am happy enough with the performance of the 4670 as my TV is only 1366x768.

Im thinking that a build around the new sandybridge pentium G620 would probably suffice with a H67 mITX or mATX MB (both seem to cost about the same).

The cabinet is 205mm high, 390mm deep and 475mm wide - although the door to the cabinet is only 430mm wide so would pefer if the case was <430mm wide.

So, on to my Question!

What case would you recommend for the above?

I've been looking at either:

a Silverstone GD04/05 (would need to remove shelf and above items to jimmy it in through the 430mm wide door!); or a
a Sliverstone SG03/04 (on its side - would this work?)

Thoughts / opinions?
 
I do really like the look of the SG-05! It is definitely on the consider list. Drawbacks would be that I'd prefer a full 5.25 bay and / or another 3.5 bay, and that I'm unsure on the PSU. Can anyone vouch for its quietness? It is good that it is 80+ though.

Or cutting a hole in the back and putting an Antec Fusion :)

I like this idea :) my wife doesn't :(
