    Agreed! well, a few bits broken on it, but I'm keeping it to use for my old build, to be used as the family computer. BitFenix Shinobi seems to tick all the boxes, will look at some reviews, thanks guys. Anymore suggestions?

    How do you find playing on a large screen?

    really the only improvement on a big screen I find is that I sit back further, like playing from a sofa, I kinda prefer to be sitting farther away when playing console games, and prefer playing on a TV LCD, as the low res annoys me if sitting 2 feet up away from a PC monitor. *is too used to PC...

    360 on HDMI, how to get sound out to a stereo?

    if your monitor has an audio out you could go that way and buy the relevent cheap leads, if it doesn't then I think your going to have to fork out for an official 360 hdmi cable, as that comes with an additional Digital Optical Adapter cable that you can hook up to a stereo/speakers.
