    Nice! I have to do some more research regarding the case; posted your build in the first post to see what people think. Thanks so much man!

    Yeah I was hoping to mess around with some emulators and the i3 makes that possible.

    Yes the i3 has the much needed hardware virtualisation that emulators are heavily dependent on

    I would look into the Silverstone HTPC cases, they don't mess around when it comes to cases. They also have excellent airflow and cooling capabilities as well.

    I was looking at Silverstone case before as an alternative.

    Any opinion on this one? http://www.silverstonetek.com/produc...id=293&area=en

    Comparing Silverstone to the current one:
    Height: 5.9" v. 5.4"
    Width: 17.3" v. 17"
    Depth: 13" v. 16.3"

    But 4 internals, 1 external, and 1 ssd

    Silverstone cases like that should last a very long time and should accommodate several builds. When I decide to build one, I will spend the extra money and get a Silverstone for the build quality, the features and how flexible they are. And like I said before, their HTPC cases have excellent cooling options and great airflow so you can really get creative with them!
