AM2 Mobo/CPU + MATX Case Advice

I believe the ASUS T3, like the Shuttle barebones, have an integrated heatpipe radiator in the exhuast fan so no Ninja would be required.

I've ordered an Antec NSK4000 from Ebuyer but thank you for the advice.

I believe the ASUS T3, like the Shuttle barebones, have an integrated heatpipe radiator in the exhuast fan so no Ninja would be required.

From the user reviews I have found the T3 doesn't seem to come with a heatpipe cooler, on the positive side though the AMD stock cooler is actually quite good (much better than Intel's POS) so if no overclocking was on the cards (which I doubt for a net PC) then I would stick with the stock cooler at least to begin with.

I do like the T3 though it is small and the 8200 version (which is linked above) makes for an excellent Media type PC £125 for a case (with card reader), PSU and motherboard, it just is perhaps a touch pricey.

Oh and if you fancy a better looking uATX case the Silverstone TJ08 is brilliant does cost a touch more though and is almost identical to the CM 340 internally, the SS has better fan grills (it has removable grills rather than the restrictive holes of the CM which help keep the turbulence noise down, and the case cooler). Most of the extra money goes on the Alluminum bezel though, it does look good though it has to be said.
