    My latest cable tidying effort is majestic, though I say so myself.

    Aye I was quite impressed, quite fancy that case of yours, but I'm wondering if it would be too small.

    well it's the same size as my antec 300 was. So smallish but massive for uATX
    u need a uATX mobo and it's fiddly to build in but cooling is great and it's just lovely. I am strangely attracted to the sidepanels
    Cable tidying options are abundant

    Well it's supposed to be an ATX Board?

    And it does look a bit bigger than your board.

    He's decided he's purchasing the computer sometime this week, probably in the first couple of days. Will get you pictures and stuff when we take it apart to put the GTX 460 in the other machine.

    What? My mobo is uATX and the mini P180 is a uATX case.

    I was talking about my board, the one in the link. Dunno whether it'd fit in the P180

    only uATX in the mini P180, normal P180 (bit dated now) will fit ATX. Just get the rampage II gene and shove it in, will be an awesome system!

    Change of plans, my Mum has decided that she wants to buy it him for Christmas because she never knows what to get him. She's managed to convince him not to buy it yet by saying 'we don't have the money' - they do have the money, I guess that just shows the power of Women when they want something. =]
