decisions decisions.
Lets set the scene first:
I currently own a Shuttle FN45 with a few modifications including an imported perspex case from some american site(cant remember the name).
I do alot of programming and now my mobile amd 2500+ is struggling so its time for a new pc.
Im going for the intel quad core processor(8mb cache one) and i have a nice tasty creative 7.1 x-fi sound card (so i need one pci slot). I dont do games on my pc but i could do with dual output seeming i have two monitors.
Ive got most of the spec sorted, its really just the case.
Which would you choose?
Thermaltake:
Or
Silverstone:

Is there a reason for the small form factor?

Cool, was just wondering why as for a decent system (such as I think you are building) its certainly not the best for room and cooling.
Have you considered the Lian Li V300 and V350? Both great cases from what Ive read.
