Thanks Matt
It wasn't so much what i was intending to put in there as the actual build and fittings of the case. It seemed to me that was the point he was trying to make... but again everything is to a price - if that was the case he was being a bit unreasonable. Buy Antec for 3 to 4 x the price... but i wonder how much better it is.
Basically i want a small portable box but want to put one or two cards in which i can't do with a laptop (unless one goes for high end). These cube cases allow you to have a standard psu and 4 x standard pci which is a better bet than a slim desktop. I'm not requiring high end graphics cards or high quality kit... the mATX board is adequate for me.

For a lowish power box it should be fine. Stick a high end graphics card or two in there and I think you'll have cooling troubles.

Be grateful if someone could comment from their experience of building PC's.
I've been thinking about building one of these. I used to like the slim desktop as they were a convenient size - until i noticed the more recent ones have low profile pci card slots which i'm not so keen on. The cube case takes a standard power supply and standard pci cards - so i've had a look at a few.
Looking at ebuyer i noticed this cheaper one and the comments a purchaser has made - a lot of ????? and yet 4 stars. For the price it seems a fair enough case...
I couldn't make out what he was getting at... perhaps i'm just thick... if it's bad i've seen far worse!!!!
comments please?
