Help me build an affordable SFF pc.

[cisco911]

Im starting to get the SFF bug.... I have been looking at them but cant make up my mind. I have built many systems but dont really know what to expect out of a SFF. I would like to keep the price aroud 500 to 600 dollars if i could. Also not that i have to use it but i do have a xp2600 laying around and 512 of pc 2100 and 2 40 gigs.....

Built mine for just about $500 on the nose (in sig). Would one 40gb drive be enough space? SFF cases tend to have a spot for only one, though you could conceivably put another in place of the floppy, heat is a concern when dealing with that cramped a space, so it might not be the best idea. Don't see why you couldn't use the 2600+ & 512mb dimm you already have though.

If you could go with a different shape case like the Silverstone Mini Berserker - GD98-LED - (http://www.Gameve.com ) or the Athenatech A100 (at newegg et al.) series instead of a cube, it can be done. The cubes usually take a proprietary mobo and cooling, while the above cases use standard components...

If you want do use two hard drives, look into the Antec Aria.

I'm actually playing around with mine and I have 3 hard drives in it.
