ATX or M-ATX??

Raging · #1 23-04-07, 03:03 PM

well i was thinking of building a new pc around M-atx side of things because a small but good performing pc would be cool,imo

plus the mobo's n cases are cheap

i am having second thoughts now tho because of potentialy low overclocks and cooling

not to mention that its gonna be pretty tight in a M-atx case with 2xhdd+1dvd-rw and a decent gpu.

so what are your thoughts??

stick to good ol' full towers?,go midi tower? or build a micro beast?

Get a nice spacey ATX HTPC case I reckon

i am a sucker for lights and windows

i would like a case with a view,it just wouldnt seem right to me without one

currently i am looking at these 2 cases

http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=606934

looks decent apart from the handle and cooling looks alright

but it is thermaltake:stickpoke

then theres this http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=606934

in either silver or black,looks nice,has 3 windows.

Ya know they've not got bad reviews

Personally I'd get a Silverstone and mod it, but that could work

lian li V300?

the v300 looks alright but it has no window

i was thinking about modding a case but i dont have a dremel and i dont know if i would trust myself to mod something worth £££

just spotted this on kustompc's,a bit pricey but it looks ok

yea i got a sugo-evolution and its a nice case though i am going to mod it a bit to fit in water cooling

ohh and the biostar t-Force boards overclock realy well
