Im looking for a nice new cool case for my nice new pc ( the old T Bird is getting on a bit with paltry 1 Gig chip )

Im looking at building a very quiet PC rather than the supersonic powerup on my current one.

Small and quiet is the order of the day.

It does need to have front facing USB ports with room for a CD/DVD unit with another large bay for one more addition.

Apart from that, im easy on the rest of it.

How about a Soltek cube? Has 2 x 5.25" external facing bays which is unusual for a cube PC.

The Shuttle XPCs are £200 to £210 for the current versions.

There's an old dog VIA chipset one for £155 but I'd avoid that.

Scan do some ChyangFun cubes - £147 for an Sis chipset (yuk!) or £199 for 845ge. Don't like the styling of these though.

Load more companies offer Cube type PCs at Cebit 2003.

Not sure if you can source them all in the UK yet though...
