Hello, I am looking to builda small PC that could be an early replacement for the up and coming steam machine.

My only criteria for the PC is:-
It has to be small enough to fit in a tv cabinet

It has to have a full top range graphics card

I would like it to be safely over-clockable but is not a requirement
This does not have to include monitor

Thanks for any help possible

A Corsair 250D would fit in a cabinet? I would think it would have clearance issues especially if you mount the cooler outside of the case.

Well I don't see a problem fitting the case into a cabinet. The OP could check the dimensions to see if it fits. Also a h100i should fit inside based on the pics of builds I've seen.
