Hi all,
I'm looking at building a new PC with the Mini-ITX form factor. I'm ultimately looking at going as small as possible while going for something reasonably aesthetically pleasing, though I'm a bit concerned about the nuances of going too small.
So far I'm looking at the Lian-Li PC-Q08 and the Silverstone SG05.
The SG05's size seems really appealing, but I'm a little concerned about having limited space. Atm I've got an 8800 GTS 512 which I've seen will fit, though I'm a little worried I could be going too small and as such limiting what I can upgrade to in the future. I've also heard a few negative comments about build quality.
Ultimately I'm looking to build something along the lines of a Sandy Bridge i5 w/ 8GB of ram - It should get some gaming use but nothing *too* heavy.
Is anyone able to give any recommendations for or against either of these cases? Is there anything else similar I should be checking out?
Thanks in advance.
