I'm pretty sure you could get it even cheaper if you played around with it. Anyone wanna make their own submissions?


Yeah, and I can make a gaming computer via newegg that costs less than a dell.

Your point? :D

May I ask why there are two CPU heatsinks?

Also, "Compatibility: AMD Opteron & Athlon 64" - will that work on a socket A cpu? It doesn't list the socket that its made for, and I'm not too fimilar with A64s.

your aria barely qualifies as sff, let alone approach the size of the mini mac.

no its not.

Dimensions of Mini: 6.5x2x6.5
Dimensions of that case: 10.6" x 7.9" x 13.2"

its over 3 times thicker, and 4-7" larger on the sides.

First of all, this system is nowhere near the tiny size of the Mac mini.

Second of all, this setup does not contain an OS. Mac mini comes with this software:

iLife ?05 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and GarageBand), AppleWorks, Quicken 2005 for Mac, Nanosaur 2, Marble Blast Gold and Apple Hardware Test

Mac OS X version 10.3 ?Panther,? includes Classic environment, Mail, iChat AV, Safari, Sherlock, Address Book, QuickTime, iSync, iCal

Third of all, the whole Mac series is completely user-friendly.

Just in case your place is so packed full of junk that the extra half cubic foot is essential =D

Who in their right mind would spend $97.50 on a case for a computer that's less than $500 in total?

Get a $25 case and put the extra money into a quality motherboard and more RAM.

Yeah, the Aria is an expensive little case. Comes with PS and a PCI blower, though, so not a total waste... if you want a good deal, though, see my above post.

course a 25 dollar case is probably noisy.........
quiet costs money.. not that the aria is quiet, i dunno on that one. pci blower doesn't sound good though
