I'm looking to build a decent gaming PC for around $900 in a case with significant space savings compared to a standard mid-tower case. I am going to be using a sandy bridge i5 or i7 proc with (likely) a fullsize PCIe videocard.

So far, the only case I've been able to find with an LGA1155 socket which fits my needs is this Shuttle SH67H3 case:

Does anyone know of a similar product for comparison? I don't think the PSU in this box will support my build and it doesn't give any information about replacing the PSU with a higher wattage unit, so I am unsure whether it will suit my purposes.

The GPU I am planning on using is a GTX 560 TI

And the CPU is the i5-2500 most likely. I considered getting one of the 65W S models but I am not sure the price premium is worth it.

Basically, has anyone built a SFF mid-range PC recently? I would appreciate any suggestions for enclosures/mobos/PSUs.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for low-priced 1920x1080/1920x1200 I need a monitor for this box as well.
