Hey guys/gals. I am getting ready to buy and build a sff for LAN gaming and I am kinda torn between 2 different packages. I am looking for best bang for the buck, and I am also looking for the best performance (meaning I don't want heat becoming a preformance issue). The 2 that I am looking at are the Shuttle SN25P and the Fragbox 2 DIY. I know that I am looking at 2 different form factors, but that is sorta the idea. If I go with the FB it will be a complete ground up build, and obviously bigger than the Shuttle. But that brings up my biggest question, will the FB be better for heat than the Shuttle, or should I not even worry about it and go with the shuttle? My 2nd question is a little less critical but important none the less. Each system has a carrying bag specifically for it. My question is which is better, the FB bag or the Shuttle bag? Any help with these would be greatly appreciated.

As far as specs for both, here is what I am looking at.

AMD A64 3000+ (939)
1gb PC3200
200gb SATA hdd
16x DL DVD±RW
GF 6600GT PCIE
Win XPP SP2 (or possibly MCE2K5, but I haven't decided yet)

Thanks in advance for any help :D
