:) I've Had myself my lovely PC7+ for some years, but after purchasing a hoojum cubit 3 last year and putting a T2600 in I've been looking to move my main computer to M-ATX.

I've built my mate a Atom in a LC-05 which didn't help the matter. O that was a nice build.
Then I saw a Hoojum Cubit P4 go on ebay 2 days ago. (Rare little buggers, lovely though)

I really want to move to M-ATX, though don't have a need and get the huge problem of fitting a 8800GTX with HR-03 into one (yes I know it "can" be done, or could replace it, but its not worth replacing) Then I have to get a new mobo as well. Aaaaargh.

I've gone so crazy I've got my PC7+ on its side squeezed into my shelf. Making me wonder about replacing it with a Silverstone media centre- but then I have to replace my lovely 120mm's with some 80mm's and the cases aren't cheap. Damn it!

I think the main thing keeping most people from mATX systems is the lack of good motherboards.

It's only lately that DFI and Asus have brought out very good mATX mobos that offer good overclocking and mutli GPU support.

Then there's the lack of a highend mATX chassis.
 
I've gone and done it... Arrrgh, why o why... I got myself a Silverstone LC16B-MR for £85.

I've just got to replace all my fans now and sell my PC7 now, this isn't going to be easy... But I've got a proper HTPC with a Q6600 and 8800GTX in it now...

O pants, my biggest problem.... getting a TRUE into it... don't think its going to happen.
 
OK so no one is answering my question on the case forum.

OK which do I get a mini ninja or a Silverstone NT01-E?

I can only buy the NT01-E from one place in the UK (that I've found) and it is designed to work well with the case. £29 + shipping

Mini Ninja I've found for £29.98 inc delivery, but there is something about it that is keeping me from buying it, I'm not sure what. (obviously I'd prefer a Thermaltake if I could, but I can't) Is it really as good as people say?

If the silverstone is better I'll happily pay the little extra for it, I would just like an honest oppinion.

Cooling: Q6600 at 3.2Ghz

*BTW sorry for the hijack*
 
Well the NT01-E is designed for that case as far as I know.

It uses the psu fan to help cool the CPU so I'd say that's a very good choice.
 
um Tosk - what? I've got my case - its the LC16, I'm asking about coolers to fit in as I can't get my TRUE120 in.

N19h7m4r3 - I'm pretty sure its the 2 exhaust fans at the back of the case that the NT01-E uses, but yeh it is designed for that case, just didn't know which would be better for a Q6600 overclocked.
