right this is the question, found a case i like the look of online and its micro ATX. the issue for me is the mATX power supply, does anyone have any history on 'Xcube' power supplies? another question is, these ultra-slim mATX cases, whats the chances of fitting a GTX 460 inside one? cheers in advance guys :)
 
Have you a case in mind?
Or a link to the case?
Perhaps even a name for the case?

You said you've found one.... then you ask us questions, and don't tell us what the case is.

Your answers are likely to be
1. No, no idea of those PSU, never herad of them
and
2. Probably not a sausage
 
hold on a moment, trying to find one that won't class as a competitor :D must admit though i just noticed it says 'supports full height cards' which answers my question about GTX 460 i suppose. ok how about this then, since i have no knowledge at all on mATX power supplies, can you recommend a good one at all and do they do modular mATX PSUs?

Be very careful
Supports full 'height' cards, doesn't mean it supports all lengths of cards.

It just means the PSU isn't placed above the PCI-e sockets, so won't interfere from above, not length.
 
hmm, definately worth some further investigation, finding reviews of these sorts of cases isn't the simplest thing to do, shame the antec minuet is too small, nice looking case! reckon i might have to go for the silverstone sugo or something to be able to definately fit a GTX 460.
 
right change of plan, got myself a good deal on a 4870X2. are there any micro ATX cases that anyone can think of that will take one of them with, probably adding either A) waterblock or B) arctic cooling accelero cooler as well in the near future. :)
 
Silverstone SG02-F, SG03/4 (If you want mini-itx SG07)
Lian Li V351 (think the V350, V352 should as well)
Langear Da Box 100

Plenty around, these should get you started.
 
the silverstone SG-02 was the one i was originally looking at, in black of course, can apparently fit larger cards such as 8800GTX, etc. quite like the look of the thermaltake lanbox lite, guess will have to just pick one sooner or later! :D
