Would all this fit together?

Hi:D

Was thinking of getting an asus eee box, but have decided that thats too boring, so I'm going to do a mini-itx build...my only concern is whether the motherboard/cooler will fit the case.

So here's my spec, how's it look?

MoreX 3877 Mini-ITX Case - Black (with 60W PSU)

Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi Mini-ITX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Low Profile CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)

Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB 7200RPM SATA-II 16MB Cache

Samsung SN-S082H/BEBN 8x DVD±RW Dual Layer Notebook ReWriter

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 "LGA775 Core 2" 2.50GHz

OcUK 2GB (1x2GB) PC2-5300C5 667MHz DDR2


I think that's everything, do you think the PSU will be powerfull enough?

This is my first attempt at Mini-ITX, or anything smaller than ATX for that matter, so I'm probably missing lots.

Thanks for any help:D
 
why do you need to artic freezer? The stock should be fine unless you planning on overclocking?

I don't suppose I really need the artic freezer, it's just I don't like stock coolers, and i've heard that this board does have some limited overclocking functionality so would be interesting to see. And for £15 odd quid it's not much of a loss if it doesn't fit (can always fit it in something else sometime).

Also if you are going for entry level which it looks like, why not get the zotac 630i instead. You can either use the onboard gfx or put a low profile ATI card in there to give you audio over HDMI support.

I am hopefully going to be doing some light gaming on this (VERY light), and have heard that this will even run a few modern titles at appalling resolutions and quality levels, while getting something like 30fps. And I really dont think this case would have any room for even a low profile gpu

And surfermc, again I'll have to suck it and see really, and thanks for the info on the psu, will remember that if it's not enough.

So all that's left now is to order, and as usual I'll prob wait until next month, and if nothing comes up then I'll order and post my results here.

Thanks for the input people:)
 
Ooh yeh, cheers for that. Have found one, but as far as I can tell it only comes with the 24pin motherboard connector?

Have you got a model number of the one you've seen?

Unless i'm missing something glaringly obvious..

Thanks
 
Hmmm, looking like I'll stay with the stock heatsink for now and have a look when I get it. I'm sure I can figure something out...

Thanks again for all t help
