Hi,

I'm deciding to build my own PC but didnt want to spend the 500$ premium for the Asrock M8 case, but really like the design and small form factor. I won't have too many requirements space wise. I shouldn't have more than HDD/SSD in my system, but really like the small size so it can fit right next to my desk and not be something large. Any ideas or options?

Thanks!

EVGA Hadron air or Coolermaster elite 110 are two good itx cases.

the bitfenix prodigy is nice too. it is sleek and offers room for water cooling. if i had the money and was ready for a new setup i would look into using a 200mm rad to cool a gpu(780) and a 200mm rad to cool the cpu(intel k), all stuffed into a tiny little case. I've seen a couple custom builds doing this.

the evga hadron has a built in power supply if the 500w is enough for your setup, its enough to power a 4670k and a 760.

Coolermaster 130 for good airflow: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-rc130kk...
BitFenix Colosus Mini for looks: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/bitfenix-case-bfccli300kkl... (see this guys build: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/NWo)

The Asrock does look f-ing amazing though, but it's so hard to justify that price tag considering that it's about equal to cost of the parts you'd put into it.
