matx case

Dorkenstein · Jan 19, 2007

Is going matx a bad idea heat-wise if I am just looking for a more compact case? I was curious if anyone would recommend this case:

Thanks!

I don't see it being a problem, as long as you have proper cooling and aren't trying to stick an 8800GTX and P4 inside a tiny case like that.

The Fusion and NSK2400 both have very good cooling.

I was going to put a low-end C2D and a Geforce 7900 in there.

Does that sound suitable for a smaller case like that?

I'm sure it would be fine. I don't see it being too much of a problem.

It may take mATX boards but thats not a small case by any means, did you not notice the dual 120mm fans?

Didn't see that, thanks.
