Changeover to SFF (ideas please :) )

[muddyfox470]

I'm getting a tad annoyed with having to lug my massive case everywhere with me.

I want to use as many of my current components as possible.
However if I have to downgrade my graphics card that won't hurt me too much.

I want to spend as little as possible really

Been looking at the:
Biostar iDeq 330P
Shuttle SN25P
Shuttle SN26P

if you have any other suggestions I would be glad to hear from you.

Needs to be an ok performer as well From what I have read the Biostar takes a bit of a hit due to not allowing T1 RAM timings.

Did I say I don't want to spend too much as well?

EDIT: also where can I find a mini-pci wireless adapter, and how much do they cost (i am looking for the biostars sake)

I'd get a Silverstone LeScala case. Looks awesome under the tele or in a modern room and very functional

or get a silverstone temjin 08 case with an mATX board - great cooling, removable mobo tray, takes standard PSUs.

[muddyfox470]

What prices did you pay for them? (if you dont mind me asking)

Also what matx boards would you recommend to pair with them (overclockable helps)?
With these what cooling do you use for the CPU etc?

Any help much appreciated

Payed about £80-90 from SCAN a while ago for mine.

What platform for mATX?

[muddyfox470]

939.

I want to keep my core components the same. CPU, RAM, Harddrive and Graphics (all as per sig )

Just had some advice about the Silverstone SG-01 anyone here able to shed any light on it (likes/dislkies etc)

TJ-08 should be ~£60.

It's getting hard to find decent 939 mATX boards new but something like an MSI K8NGM2-FID is probably ~£50-60 - if you were going AM2 I would have recommended an nF-M2 nView.

edit: btw if you go with the Sugo & need a low profile HSF to suit I've got 1 available that uses a 92mm fan.
you also need to check the depth of your optical with the Sugo, it can get a bit tight.
