WOW those CM ATC cases look so good. I wonder why they don't market a retro range and get them back on sale. I guess in these times they need to shift such volumes the market may not be there. Such a shame, the golden age of PC cases or am I just showing my age. I actually have two, still in...

It's f"#$$%! beat me, I give up!!!! How anyone can build one of these things is beyond me. Every cable I try seems to be a mile too long, I can't find where to plug the fans in, cdrom is imposible to install in the case, loads of cables and leads over it's driving me bl@@dy bananas. I...

Thanks again for your advice guys, build is still not complete due to work commitments. Will hopefully give it another go soon when I have the right angle sata cables as they definatly won't fit with the fan on the hd bay cover. I changed the fan and it does not have the grill thing on the...

Thanks again for your advice grumpy. One problem I have come up against is the hard drives seem to need right angled sata and power leads for the fan and hard drive bay cover to fit back in place. Did you come up against this issue? I am also finding it difficult to get my Asus Xonar Essence...

Hey grumpy, thanks for the advice. Hopefully it will be finished by xmas but you never know. ;) I have one of the sycthe mini ninja's as well. Did you have difficulty with the clips on that? I felt like I was almost standing on the damn thing to get the clip in place. At one stage I did not...

Thanks for the advice and the link mi, will have another go when I perhaps have more patience as perhaps that is the missing ingrediant here. :)

Hey guys, putting a system together using the above case. Was hoping for some tips from others that have used the same case as I am not finding it that easy, being my first sff build. How do I get the cdrom fixed, do I have to take the front panel and hdd cage out to get to the screws to...

Thanks for your comments again guys, sldsmkd, this was one of my concerns. I will try the Radeon and if it does not do what I want at least it is not too much money to burn and I can then replace it with a Matrox which I know does dual head and output to the tv all at the same time.

Thanks for those suggestions big wayne. Do you know if these cards are happy with dual monitors? My planned setup will be using 2 x Dell UltraSharp 2209WA 22" Widescreen monitors plus an output to my lcd hd tv. On the Matrox cards they have dual head software to configure all this. For...

Hi all, I know nothing about the current crop of graphics cards. I need a new pci e 16 card for an sff build. I dont play games but do watch dvd's and will use the pc with charting software and require top quality 2d graphics and stability. Any suggestions for top quality cards 'without...

Thanks Tute, just had a look at that and the HX 520W looks like the one for me. :)

Hi guys, I may try a passive cpu cooler first, since the cpu is a low power 45w version. Any thoughts on a modular psu apart from the one in my spec. Quiet as possible would be good. Who is the current market leader in modular quiet psu's. Thx

Thanks for the advice. I am edging towards the Gigabyte GA-M85M-US2H after reading too many problems people are having with the microATX boards from Asus. I realise if you search you can usually find problems with anything but once the doubt sets in I usually try something else. :)

Hi all, here is my spec so far. The machine is a non gaming machine and I want it to be quiet and run cool. It will have 2 x dell 22" monitors as I work from home a lot and want the extra screen for Citrix (work) while I have the other to do my own thing. Any suggestions or comments are very...

Thanks for your advice guys, I will put together a mini spec/requirments tonight and hopefully you can find the time to give me some further tips on componants for my build. :)

Hi guys, I'm thinking of building an sff system around the Lian Li case and am wondering if the nt06 passive cooler will fit into this case? I will be using a low power AMD proccy and want to make my system as quiet as possible. I presume there is a little more room inside these cases...

Has anyone got any pics of a fully installed SG01 with the window kit? :)

lol that's so brilliant. :D

Updated spec Case: Sugo SG03 or SG01-F Black (leaning towards SG01) Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (rev 2.0) Proc : AMD Athlon x2 5050e Cooler: NT06-E Memory: Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) Graphics: Probably use my Matrox Parhelia (if it fits). HD: Already have Sata drives...

Thanks :) Guys I am really torn between the sg01 and sg03. I think the black sg01 may suit my room a lot better and since dangerous dave mentions he does not have any cooling issues using the cpu in my spec I may give that a go. Damn but I also like the black sg03... it's not easy to...
