Silverstone SG-05 mini ITX case $89

$88.99 plus shipping ($7.75 ground to me in WI). That's around $97 shipped. Newegg is $114 shipped to me. For those who don't know, this case can be used to create something similar to a Shuttle mini system, but using a standard SFX PSU (which it comes with), a 120mm intake fan and can handle dual slot graphics cards up to GTS 250 if you get a mini ITX board with PCIe x16 (such as the Zotac 9300).

definitely a nice case. I had considered this one when i built my itx box. Has a nice plus80 power supply (which is just about better than any non solid state psu that comes in an itx case) and a 120mm fan. its very nice.

Buy a slot-load rom....the fit and finish is lacking a bit around where the face plate meets the laptop style rom. If you buy a traditional ejecting-tray style DVD drive, it will stick to the face plate, and not open.

It's really a bummer. The face plate issue is like a super model missing a few teeth.

Step it up a bit Silverstone!!

Ah thats a bummer. One of the things that made me not buy this case, is that the front looked kind of cheesy all plastic and all.

slot style dvdrws are pretty cheap though. Sucks that blu-ray slots are really really expensive and tray ones are reasonably cheap (at least for pata)

Have you priced slot load BluRay burners?

actually a uj-210 panasonic is only about $120-130 on ebay. only 1x burn though, but i think thats the most you can get on a mobile drive (just like there is no 16x dvdrw mobile, or more than 2x bd-rom read it seems)
