Okies firstly thanks for reading this.

This sunday im about to spend lots of wongar on an LG 52LG5010 52" TV.

I now need to build a media / games center to go with it.
Below is the spec I've come up with please let me know if i've missed anything or you can suggest an alternative product.

The Ninja may be too tall for the Fusion (check)
The 430w PSU in the Fusion will be enough
Maxtor/Seagate HDD's aren't too quick or quiet. A 640GB WD or 640/1TB Samsung would be a better choice.
If you're going for games at 19x12 with your 4870 then you might want to get an E8x00 unless that E5200 OC's loads
 
Anything else.?

Okies so i need to add a BR drive..

Does the case look ok for what im putting in it.?

Going to pick up the TV tomrow :) cannot ruddy wait, and cannot beleive the missus agreed to a 52"er ;)

Are there any other good slightly larger htpc cases out there i should look at.? sure ive overheard something about LC17 or something.?

Have to build the HTPC next week as missus has a week off after that and she's insisted that if we get the tv she wants to be able to play UT3 on it and watch games :) poor old me will be stuck at work lol.

Any other thoughts please.?
 
an 8800gtx fits in one, no reason a 4870 wouldnt :)

my lc17 was my htpc/gaming machine for a year or so, it was packed with gear lol. if you do a search for lc17 and my username you'll find a couple of images ive posted of mine. I couldnt find a better case then and i still cant now.

i dont use mine pc now though. my laptop handles all my media (imcluding bluray playback) better than my pc ever did. it uses a damn sight less power as well lol
 
Okies im sold, if i remove the centre hard drive cage then im good for any length card pretty much..

LC17 it is.. Damn it OC'ers dont do em do they.?
 
Ok so this is the new list minus case and blueray player.

The case is going to be a Silverstone LC17.

Anything wrong with this guys.???
