[koth]

Thanks guys, I just order all the parts.

Really interested in seeing how your mATX build turns out since I am looking forward to building one this summer and you are picking many of the parts I have my eye on. I cant wait to see the results!

I will post some result and picture.

Hey... that looks similar to what I was considering....

So you are waiting on the CPU and mb? Looking at your sig and seem like you have a pretty good desktop rig. Going to oc with the new build?

I'm leaning towards IB/Z77 as I haven't been 100% confident in my current board. But I haven't decided whether or not I'll overclock my "new" system -- I still haven't found the "ideal" CPU cooler I've been looking for.

Thanks Danny and Prav. I finally have my machine built and running. Thank you for all your advance and tips!

$23 Samsung Extreme Low Voltage 4GB (Single) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) MV-3V4G3

This is very good ram if you are comfortable tweaking settings. Kits are out of stock but single stick are available, just grab 4.
edit: Also available at TigerDirect $25 ea

My system is oc-ed to 105.8 x 43 @ 1.32v, the memory is 9-9-9-24 at this moment. I am still tweaking it

How do you like the TJ08B-E? I'm considering picking one up to replace my Antec 900.

I didn't pick the Tj08B-E at the end, i am using a SG08 and i love it. I would have go to a SG05 even if i know better =)

Finally some picture of my build. I redo all the cable today

CPU and cooler:

120mm rad push/pull scythe slip stream PWM

RAM

GPU - 6950. cannot unlock to 6970

Getting ready to redo the cable

Few hours later, it is done!

All the power cable go into the empty HDD drive bay

lots of room with the rad and the fan. I wish I brought the H80/920

Grats!
