Heya guys, had a few thoughts about this for a while, but I think now its time to downsize, and I'm really not sure where to go!

Currently have an Akasa Eclipse 62, cntaining:

Asus P5N-E SLI w/ intel E8400 (Noctua Cooler)
4GB PC6400
1 x Crucial SSD 60GB
3 x SATA HDDs
1x DVD+/-RW
SoundBlaster X-Fi Music
ATI 4890 1GB

I'm really looking to downsize, I haven't overclocked the system and barely game on it at all (probably will do more when SW: ToR Comes out :D) But I'm thinking either a smaller atx case, or go for a micro atx barebones system from OCUK, i'm happy to ditch obviously the motherboard if buying a barebones, one of the 3.5" HDD's and the sound card if better sound is available onboard nowadays!

Really not looking to spend too much, maybe £130ish on a barebones dependant on selling the case, psu if not needed? and motherboard.

Not sure what'll take these components in a quietish but not too hot running system?

Sorry about the vagueness, had the Eclipse about 4-5 years so am a bit outdated! :D
 
That looks good, but quite big and costly still, i'm looking for something plain with no real illumination, I think my days fo big blue lights are over! :D

i'll have a think on barebones systems like the ones on here, if they'd hold the majority of what I have here? How are they for noise?
