I'm getting ready to build a new PC, and am trying to keep the case as compact as possible. My last two PCs have been Shuttles, so I've grown accustomed to the "cube" style case. My PC is going to have a i7 920 CPU and an Asus Rampage II Gene motherboard. I also plan on getting an HD 5770 graphics card. I have no plans on overclocking at this point in time.
I'm wondering if my setup would be too hot to effectively run in a Lian Li V351B case. I really like the look of the case, but have read a couple of different places that it may not be sufficiently big and/or cooled to house an i7 processor. I'd greatly appreciate input from anyone who knows for sure one way or another.
If it is indeed not wise to use the V351, I may end up scrapping the microATX idea altogether. The only other option I've found that seems like it would work is the Antec mini P180, and that case is big enough that I might as well get a standard ATX motherboard and mid-tower case.
