which is your favourite?
 
Is there anything I can improve on the parvum build, or any parts which is overkill? I will be buying my parts slowly so I might catch a few good offers. And finally will my 7970 matrix platinum fit in there

:D I'm not thinking about watercooling the gpu as I don't have enough money, I also recently baught the gpu because of its improved air cooler and value :D so itl be a waste I think to just throw away the custom cooler on it

Another question, will all that be a tight fit in the parvum, I have no idea how big it is :)
