    Agreed, go with a 128GB SSD (or 64GB if cost is an issue) something like the Crucial M4 would be a good choice. Then get a 1TB data drive, something like a Samsung F3 would fit the bill. Other than that, your PSU is overkill unless you plan to go SLI in the future, Perhaps go for a Corsaor...

    Also really nice to see the 90 degree 24pin connector as I've not seen this before. It would be great if all motherboard manufacturers starting using these as standard as they have done with the SATA connectors as it can make the cables much neater, but I guess it might cause issues in smaller...

    Help with selecting the best case for a PC to be positioned in a cupboard

    That's a great thread which illustrated whats possible, but hopefully a single GTX 580 will be cooler than a pair of GTX 480s. I've passed the link and recommendations onto my brother, so hopefully he will make a decision on which case he is going to go with in the next few days. James

    Help with selecting the best case for a PC to be positioned in a cupboard

    That's actually quite a sensible suggestion. I was trying achieve a similar result by reversing the air flow through the the case, but as you pointed out this would still leave the graphics card, which will be the hottest item in the case exhausting into the rear of the cupboard where there...

    Help with selecting the best case for a PC to be positioned in a cupboard

    That's a very good suggestion, I'll have a look at both the Silverstone RV02 and FT02 as the vertical cooling could be the answer. Having checked the specs on the Silverstone website both the RV02 and FT02 are 50cm tall which would leave a gap of about 12cm between the top of the case and...

    Help with selecting the best case for a PC to be positioned in a cupboard

    I agree the Fractal Design cases are very nice, but I'm not sure they would they work well in my scenario where the case is located inside a cupboard with no ventilation other than the open cupboard door. I would have thought that the door on the case would have limited the ability of the...

    Help with selecting the best case for a PC to be positioned in a cupboard

    Thank you both for the case suggestions I'll take a look at them. Would these cases work for my particular suggestion where I am looking to reverse the airflow through the case due to it being located in a cupboard? James

    Help with selecting the best case for a PC to be positioned in a cupboard

    My brother has asked me to build a PC for him, but the challenge is that the PC must be located in a cupboard as shown below (not actual cupboard but for illustration): The space which currently houses a Dell tower is 25cm wide, 62cm high and 70cm deep. The sides, rear and top of the...

    Hi Rurki, Did the 5bay Array cage unscrew, or did you have to take a Dremel to the case in order to remove it? James

    I'm thinking of using this case for my next PC build and have a couple of questions I hope that you can help me with: 1) Can the case fit a GTX 590 without removing one of the fans in the base of the case? 2) How easy is it to remove the internal 3.5" drive bay at the front of the case and...
