I'm designing a build right now with an MSI B85i MB Newegg link
I plan on using an i5 processor, and a tv tuner in the pcie slot.

What is the smallest case I can fit this all in?
How big of a power supply do you think I need?

I need a case with a full height or low profile pcie slot, an ODD (slim or normal), and a 2.5in HDD Bay.

-Thanks
 
that would fit in a really tiny case.
SG05 with built in 300 watt PSU would be bigger than you need.
Maybe one of the 1U cases would be good

The ML05 would be a good candidate. You shouldn't need more than 150 watts.
 
I'm thinking about getting a Travla c292 case, but i don't like the external power supply. would 120 watts be enough?
 
Depends on the TDP of your CPU and the power consumption of your TV tuner, but I would think so.
 
I can get a i5 with 84 tdp or 65 tdp. I dont know what the tv tuner draws. its a pcie x1.
