it wont be playing the video as i stream to my 360's but i do want it to run windows.

i like the look of this but i dont need to spend that much on a case.

can this be trimmed down any?

 

[utajoker]

Quite a few option but if it's not going to really fully use the onboard Radeon 6530 then may as well go down the route of Intel and something like a G530/G620.

im out of touch with hardware by about 4 years so ive no idea what a g530 or g620 is

how does this look then?

i will use the dvd drive to install windows then unplug it for another hdd to be plugged into the sata slot

 

[utajoker]

i will keep the drive just incase i need it then can just plug it in.

is that spec ok?

i wont need a gpu will i? onboard will be ok
