    Good point

    I suppose 80mm would still have been better as may have been possible to use 80mm to 120mm adaptors

    I'm going to fourth the Silverstone TJ-08 yeah it costs a bit more but it is real pretty Just a shame my new watercooling wouldn't fit inside... maybe one day I will think of a way to fit everything in! Guess I should update my "My System" page with all my new gubbinz

    Re: Small Case for big components.

    If you need something cheaper I recommend the Aspire X-Qpack (http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2464) - you can obviously get them in different colours and the included 420W psu is pretty good quality - we run a Core2Duo and 8800GT in one no problem.

    There are tonnes of cube cases, certainly better one's than the lanbox. They are funky and I almost got one, but saw sense and got the TJ08 instead. You can fit anything you want in it, and it stays as cool as any of my full towers.

    If it must be a cube there is the ultimate..
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...0-%20Black/Red

    5x 120mm fans, 4 HDD's, 2 optical, pretty much unlimited HSF space, extended power supplies supported as are super length gfx cards.. it's a beast
