I'm looking to build a mITX system, however I'm looking for a good quality case [probably cube], however currently there are limited options.

Are there any recommendations, or to be avoided ?


I was looking at the ASROck FM2 [85 - when it becomes available]
A10 AMD CPU

So also given the stock coolers for the AMD's processors are pretty useless I would also be looking at a low profile cooler - are there any suitable which would prevent the system melting down ?

Thank You In Advance

Take a look at the Realan E-i7 mini-ITX case. The stock cooler for the A10-5700 works really well in this case when paired with a quiet 80mm PWM fan like the Gelid Silent 8. I would stay away from the ASRock FM2 mini-ITX motherboards though. They've been a nightmare. The MSI is working really nice though.

Whichever mini-ITX you do get, you want at least 120W for the A10-5700.
