Hey guys,

Perfect time to throw my Tomshardware V card to the masses. I am in the need for a new gaming pc and would like some opinions.

I am set on it being the smallest i can possibly get it and would like some case choices. I would love to be able to walk into Fry's and pick one up but their selection on this topic is non existant. A few points.

1. Budget is pretty crucial hence the next point.
2. Must take atx powersupply.
3. Have room for full size graphics.
4. Room for cpu radiator.

I dont need a cd tray but usb connections would be helpful. Any help on this topic or past experiences would be super helpful, also... is the money I save on the smaller case worth putting towards an Itx power supply.

Thanks guys, be gentle.

To keep you build within the budget, i suggest you go with Thermaltake Core V21 PC case, since Core V21 is the most customizable case i know and it's also stackable with another Core V21,

But if you plan to build portable mini-ITX build, then you can go with Corsair Graphite 380T. Downside of this great case is that it comes with a premium price tag,

Ok awesome, that v21 case looks really good, I like the fact that their pictures show a build in it aswell. Any thoughts on weather an itx mobo sacrifices much in terms of performance, i mean their prices seem to be almost identical.

Ok i appreciate that, finally i am looking at either ASrock or asus, any previous experience with these good and bad. Ive always gone asus but ASrock seems to have gained traction and their price-to-features are pretty good.
