Top spec systems in Micro ATX cases?

hoogie · 26 Feb 2007 at 08:30

Hi all,

I am currently on the look out for a new case for my current PC system which is built around a Micro ATX motherboard with a view to upgrading to a brand new Core 2 Duo DirectX 10 system in about four months.

I was thinking of getting either the Thermaltake Sugo or TJ08 as they seem well designed and of a good size.

My question is can these cases deal with the heat of a top of the range system?
I will be looking to get a 2.0Ghz or more Core 2 Duo with a top of the range DX10 graphics card and at least 1GB of ram. Is this possible?

Thanks

What kind of spec are you running?
Are high spec PC's in Micro cases more the norm now? (as long as not overclocking)

So the general consensus is that running the top spec hardware within small form factor cases is fine as long as it isn't overclocked and that you make sure it all fits ok?

Also what does everyone think of the Silverstone Sugo? I think it looks like a good case, any resons not to go for it?

Thanks again

To be honest I don’t overclock anyway so its not an issue for me. I was more worried about the possibility of running something like Crysis causing the whole thing to overheat and die.
