Hello Everyone!

I'm building a new PC for my business but, as with all new business, I want to save as much money as possible. I was thinking something like the following:

Case/PSU : XION Micro with 300psu $40
CPU: Intel Pentium G2020 Ivy Bridge 2.9GHz $70
MOBO: AsRock $54
DVD Burner $18
HD: SSD 128 gig SanDisk $100
Memory: 8 gigs PNY $59

Total 341.

This will need to run multiple apps at once, no gaming, just word, excel, a media player, firefox with lots of tabs, that kind of thing. I will have it hooked up to an external HD for more storage. On the external I will have videos for the store, some instructional, some entertaining but I will need to spread it over 4 TVs (cloned).

What do you think, I wanted something small form factor so I can easily bring it from work to home and continue working. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I will also be loading quickbooks onto this for my taxes.

A $80 case for a $400 build? I wouldn't put 1/5th of the budget just on a case.
