    Not only graphics cards but higher end CPUs too such as the Core i7 2600K.

    I tend to like the look of the Shuttle SFF PCs which are even smaller.

    The SX58H7 Pro can run a Core i7 990X and an HD6950:

    Re: Silverstone SG08 and Lian Li TU200

    hmmm i prefer the cosmetics on the other..

    I've sort of been weighing up my options a little as what I should do - spend more and get a pc i can upgrade esily with something like Corsair 600T or just go with a case like the coolermaster haf.

    Im not that bothered about the harddrive but graphic cards dont seem to be getting any smaller , hence why im wondering if its worth just getting a bigger midsize case instead and settling for ok graphics card , cpu until prices comedown or i need them

    The SG07 can take quite long cards and has a 600W PSU:

    I am not an expect with full sized cases as I find them way too large. I like small form factor computers.

    Depends on a couple of things.
    1. Does it come with the same, excellent, PSU?
    2. Does it weigh about the same (I expect yes to this one)
    3. Does it fit graphics cards the same length.
    4. If yes to all the above, does it cost less than £20 more?

    I'll get it if it does all that stuff

    I don't like its styling too and its still too large IMHO.

    Re: Silverstone SG08 and Lian Li TU200

    This new SG08 looks like it's the same as the SG07 just with a new aluminium bezel.

    The new TJ04E looks nice http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/...Revealed-3.jpg

    Also the TJ08E http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036702887
    I'm not sure about this one, I like the overall mATX with a 180mm air penetrator fan in the front, just never been a big fan of the inverted motherboard layout.

    The new Fractal design mini-ARC looks very good for a micro ATX case http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=product&prod=59
    Note; I've recently found out that the front bezel is not aluminium but plastic with a brushed aluminium effect.
