Size issues

[Lodan]

Hello there,

I am looking at making a new box but not sure if the parts would fit in the case and have enough power / Cooling for them. I was wondering if anyone had done this and whether it all fit etc.

The case I am looking at is the Antec Fusion Black HTPC Case which comes with a 430w PSU.

I think the main problem could be the GFX card which I am looking at the Asus GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express), not sure if that will fit.

In terms of other parts I was looking at these:

LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive
GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz Black Dragon DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
Asus P5E-VM HDMI Intel G35 Micro-ATX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.50GHz 6MB-cache (1333FSB) Processor

Really looking for a powerful but quiet system that can be left on for a few days at a time without melting. Also like the idea of the HTPC.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot for your time!

Thankyou

I think that processor is 45nm:

They're here! The CPU that everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived and it doesn't intend to disappoint! Using the new improved 45nm-process technology and various core improvements (inc SSE4) over the previous 'Kentsfield' model this new 'Yorkfield' technology is the absolute market-leader in performance and annhialates the competition and benchmarks alike.
