Hello Guys and Girls

The is my first post in this forum so Hello Everyone.

I want to build a media PC for my front room but I am unsure about Micro ATX components so wondered if you could help.

So far the parts I have chosen are

Intel E2140 - Low Power less Heat
2 x 512MB PC6400 XMS2 RAM 4-4-4-12, I know its overkill but I have it spare from upgrading to 2 x 1GB modules of the same stuff in my gaming rig.
Nvidia 6600 GT PCI-E Graphics Card - again left over from an upgrade.
350W PSU - Came from my gaming case and obviously replaced it.

All I am really worried about is the MOBO and Case and trying to keep it quiet.

Any suggestions for the mobo and case that will fit these components would be great?

I used a Silverstone LM-16 or was it LC-16 cant member... anyways its full ATX with room for alota hard drives... had a little trouble squeezing my 7900gs in but it fit ;) This also means you can get a full atx board which open the options up no end.

2x512 is in no way overkill... id be happier with 2gb RAM in any machine these days even if you are running XP still.

MY media pc is:

Silverston case LC-16
C2D E6300
7900GS
Asus P5b-deluxe
2x1gb RAM corsair
DVICO FusionHDTV Dual Digital 4 Dual HDTV Tuner Card
DVD burner
320GB WD hDD

Does the job ;)
