That EVGA case isn't considered to be very good around here, you might want to change it.

Not a fan of the Hadron case, it really lacks cooling. What about the Raven RVZ01?
Will need an SFX PSU with that though.

Other than that it looks pretty good to me.

i was looking at the case but you limited on PSU and the anther case was the BitFenix
Prodigy (Black)

Please do not double post, use the

button instead

If you're going for a 450 Watt PSU anyway, there's plenty good quality SFX units to choose from, like the Silverstone SST-ST45SF or the slightly more expensive Gold rated version, the Silverstone SST-ST45SF-G.

As much as I love the Bitfenix ITX cases (got a Phenom myself), they are pretty big for an mITX case which kind of defeats the purpose. On the bright side, the carrying handles on the Prodigy might be convenient if you move it around a lot.

How about the air 240 ? it's an M-ATX, but looks better suited to a M-ITX motherboard.

Air 240 looks a nice option , with sythe slim line fans would open up extra cooling options .
