It shouldn't be that expensive. I'll check around for you. Do you want anything specific?

Man, you're pretty helpful! :D Yeah, it would be great if you could help out... I don't want to derail this thread any further, so perhaps we should continue this in my thread. It might prove helpful to others looking to do something similar.

Yeah, had a look a while ago, but they only having "gaming chassis". I'm looking for an HTPC / Steam box low profile chassis.

I don't think you are derailing this thread at all, quite the opposite, any conversation happening to do with cases (or any other pc parts for that matter) is greatly appreciated as I like to see what people think about certain products and consider getting themselves.

The only other, not-normal case I can find (that I trust), for an HTPC is the Lian-li PC series (PC-Q27, PC-Q07 etc).
 
I have an R9 270X O.C and it's an amazing card and i would buy another one to run x-fire it's not too expensive and it's a good little jobber :D
 
Received my first parts on monday, Coolermaster N300 case and the Corsair VS550 power supply... quite sexy...

very excited for the build.
 
I will indeed! :)

I will be posting it up here, or is there some other thread where I should post it?

I will only start taking pics once I have a few more parts and actually start assembling a working PC :)

Here should be fine :)

Otherwise you can create your own thread in the hardware section to showcase your creation
 
Man I am amped!

Actually only found out this week (After I received my order) that a friend of mine works for a certain company that distributes to Wootware among others and I can buy through him :D
 
So I just took delivery of my hard drive (1tb Seagate to start off with - future upgrade would include a SSD) as well as my CPU (i5 4440)

Putting my order in for my mobo, ram and gpu now, along with one or two other small things...
 
Won't forget :)

Got a friend from work coming over to help out with the new build so I will be setting up my camera to take pics as we go along :)

I think the parts I got would equal a pretty descent mid range build.

Will try upload some bench marks as well when I upload the pics.
 
Ok, I just received the last few parts! :D

Now I just have to ask the guy from work if he can come and help out tonight, I am too excited to wait until tomorrow... lol
 
Sneak Peak

Here is a little sneak peak of my new set up.

I will upload proper photos once one or two more additions have been made.

I still need to add the water cooling and one or two fans with a light. (Pay day is tomorrow! :D)

I also added a steelseries apex raw keyboard to my set up and along with my new mouse.

I am VERY happy with my new build.

I managed to max out medal of honour warfighter as well as farcry 3, both on ultra settings! I have no idea what the fps were but things were running VERY smoothly!

I must admit that the build surpassed my expectations!
