    SilverStone LC11 as HTPC gaming rig?

    Am I being completely insane or can I, just, run this system:
    • SilverStone LC11 w/300w PSU & PCIe Riser board
    • MSI RS480M2-IL (or the RX edition if I can get hold of it)
    • Athlon64 3800+ (S939)
    • HIS X800XL IceQ
    • 1GB PC3200 (maybe 2GB latter on)
    • WD Raptor 74GB
    • LGE GSA4163B (16x DVD+/-RW)

    I have all but the mobo & chassis atm, the reason I'm moving from the current tower arrangement is that it is always getting in the way. This is the machine with which I do all my processor intensive tasks on, game, a small amount of video editing & watch TV/DVDs on (I use a firewire PVR for TV recording).

    i had an lc11. the case suffers some serious flaws:

    * cannot install sata drives into hard drive bays, without very bent cabling
    * cannot easily plug in a monitor when using an agp card - a rivet in the case prevents it
    * the agp/pci riser system *doesn't work* - i had massive graphical corruption when using it

    try the coolermaster cavalier 2/4 - a tiny bit bigger, not as sexy, but more room and no riser cards

    Interesting, I'll avoid the LC11 then, however my main worry with that chassis is using a 300w PSU with that kind of system, my mind thinks that it'll be in the 300w area at full load.

    As for the alternative, thanks but I really dislike the look of the Caviler series desktops, I had already looked at them, I was thinking LC13 or SG01 (I really like the general look of the current SilverStone lineup)
