I recently moved into an apartment on campus about 1/2 hr from my parents. At my parents we have a large basement area to have lans at so I am considering moving my system into a sff box. Currently I have an Athlon XP-M 2600+ at 210x12 1.65v and 1GB for Hyper X at 2.5,3,3,10. I Have a strange 6800 in that it is an ultra that the GPU could not do anything over normal 6800 speeds but the memory is still at ultra spec. 256mb of ddr3? Anyway problem lies in the fact that It has the ultra cooler right now and the 2 power plugs of the ultra (well it has 1/2 of the cooler cause its being water cooled for noise controll). Finally a cdrw/dvd and 2 hdds.

So my questions are this: What SFF barebones system would your recommend? I would like to keep my current OC if possible. Is there an aftermarket cooling solution that takes up one slot that I can apply to my 6800 special edition so I can put it in? Thanks!
 
i would say that you should get a shuttle sn45gv2.. it has the 250w psu which is about the biggest one you can get for an sff.. it will oc the xp-m nicely and keep it cool, at least in my case it does.. i have everything that you are thinking of putting in, aside from a power hogging video card.. and it runs fine..

otherwise get an aria since you can choose your mobo and it has a little more powerful psu, etc..
