    Good PSU for a MicroATX case

    Yeah, it's definitely coming from the PSU. I opened up the case while it was running to make sure. It's a loud, scratching noise coming from the fan. It's loud enough to fool me into thinking someone is idling their engine in the parking lot downstairs.

    So I was going to pull the trigger just now, but I was bummed to find that the combo that Danny suggested is no longer on offer. Still worth it at the regular price? Any other crazy deals? Appreciate the input as always.

    Small form factor (budget) gaming PC

    Appreciate the input tips, Shadowssong. I'll check out the higher end CPU/GPUs you listed and see how much that adds up to. I'd definitely prefer an HTPC case if the price is right. I think I might also have a micro ATX PSU lying around somewhere. Anyone got any recommendations?

    Small form factor (budget) gaming PC

    Hey guys. Long time reader, first time poster. I'm in the market for a stopgap gaming PC, something that isn't too fancy, but will hold me over for a year or two until I can get something more substantial. It has to be small though--I want to use this as an HTPC once I get my "real" rig, and...
