New PC Thoughts

[durff4]

Need a little help to finish out a new PC build. This is going to be sitting next to or on top of a TV stand with a 46" mounted on the wall above it. I'm leaning towards a HTPC type case, but I don't know a lot about them. I'm not a fan of full size cases, but I do need something that is going to stay cool..

This is my build so far.

ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz

Kingston HyperX 6GB (3 x 2GB)

Video Card
Something that supports SLI or Crossfire, but can plug into HDMI

PSU
Either a 750W or 850W if it's enough power.

Case
undecided

Thanks

Unless you are going to use this computer for gaming its far more powerful than it needs to be .

If it is a gaming pc then I'd stick with a tower case . The cooling is generally better . Something like an Antec P182 should be quiet enough

It's main use will be gaming and BR player.

Would the p182 be better than a 900 or FT01?
