    Default where can i buy a small pc case?

    Hi there, I looking to buy a small motherboard and i require a small case to house it, like the one that lik-sang have for their DivX player. I would prefer if the box could be located somewhere in the UK though, cheers.

    i know the mother board is small and stuff, but a small case is something i wouldnt get, tis because the smaller a case is the less air gets around which can overheat things so try and find a nice size one which can let the air flow around!

    my little say

    take a look at some of these

    You might want to check out the Shuttle SS-51, sorry I'm not sure where you can get it in the UK but it is a very small form-factor, includes the mobo, and has very good cooling for its size. A little spendy, but good performance.

    Microdirect.co.uk are a Shuttle reseller and have the SS51G
    Looks pricey on the face of it, but its a small aluminium case, with motherboard, onboard sound, lan, firewire and USB 2, and video. So not bad for around £230.

    Just built a shuttle and fitted it with a MSI FX5600 no problem. However I was always going to use a graphics card so I didn't see the point of getting on board graphics.I got an SN45G, it cost about £180 from overclockers.co.uk

    BTW they also sell the SK41G for around £150

    Don't see why not m8 but if you want to double check have a look at the specs on thier website http://www.spacewalker.com/ you should be able to get or phone overclockers tech support (0871 222 8528)
