right i see what you mean my tsunami Dream isn't really pack it still has lots and lots of room so i thought what if i could just get rid of all of that empty space by moving to a smaller case that is where i got the idea to go micro but i see that would be a long painful useless process but it was a thought anyway.

It's a lot better if you plan it from the start... Most people like the small cases, but at the same time want all the features of the larger. The curse of the engineer: everyone, wants everything, without compromise and it's up to you to 'satisfice' those demands.

such is life. but then agian if everyone was happy with what they had then there would be no engineers and no technology advances so really its a never ending cycle as long as nobody is happy with the current products there will always be jobs for engineers to make them better.

Ive got the Thermaltake Armor case.....ya, i have plenty of room lol but besides that.....if you use SATA instead of IDE it makes it a lot better....leave the floppy out, SATA hdd, and get a SATA DVD burner.....then the only cables you would really have to worry about would be the power cables.

well....cables for the case...front audio,usb....power cables....drive cables.....thats really all that there is in a case...unless u have lights and stuff. so ya, IDE's are the biggest...so getting rid of those would make it a lot better. Plus if you get a PSU with detachable cords....like my Silverstone Strider 600W....then u would only have to put in the ones you need

wow I think that is the same model I have. My PSU right now is a silverstone quad rail and it also has the detachable cables and cords but there are still a lot of cables floating around inside my case.

Not bad stats though for what it actually is. i would be interested to see how one of these performs.

Not bad stats though for what it actually is. i would be interested to see how one of these performs. well the only problem i see is this.....it doesn't really say whether or not there are 2 7800 cards...it just suggests it. and it really doesnt say whether or not there's a PSU....again it just suggests it. But if the mobo, the vid cards, and the psu were in the case...and that was the cost for all of it...then ya, that would be a pretty reasonable price....but Id definately check reviews on the company first before getting it from there.

right im sure there is some sort of catch to somthing like this i bet that it is just a core or bare bone system and to get the full system you would have to upgrade it and that is where the companys profits come in.

That definetly doesn't come with all that stuff. Shuttles only include the mobo and psu. Also that's the one I suggested like 20 posts ago, but I guess no one actually looked it up. And where do you find these weird sites from? The same thing is on newegg for like $200 less... www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856101479

I said i found that in another forums....someone posted it asking if it was a good deal....I didnt think it was at all lol.
Now, even at that....540 sounds an aweful lot for something like that....plus...how would u even come close to running 2 7800 series gpu's with a 350W psu? they recommend like a 400 or 450 just for one! so ya, I didn't like it from the start.
