New to SA, I am going to stay here for a year I am looking into building a very small desktop computer that can still play the latest games. It should not be the latest and greatest, more best bang for the buck (and small)
Intially I was thinking about this:
- intel 2500K cpu
- any z68 intel chipset based mini itx board
- slim line DVD player to load old games
- SSD to speed up OS
- Radeon 6870 (good speed and relatively cheap and cool, can do 1920x1080
- 3.5" hard disk for storage
And most importantly, smallest case available. I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811163171
I love it to bits but have trouble sourcing it in SA. Any idea where i could get this?
Any comments on the build?
Thanks
Where can I buy this in SA?

It is available 'locally' from wantitall at a bloody mad price
Com-X has some nice mini-itx cases as well?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Re: Where can I buy this in SA?
Thanks for the responses.
I saw that wantitall had it but could not believe the price, it should be half what they are asking!
Couldn't find anywhere else where they sell this particular model.
The reason I want to go for the Sugo is that it seems to be the only case that fits in my suitcase and has enough grunt to power an AMD 6870 + intel i5 2500k
The case that is linked is nice but too big basically (I really want to avoid 5.25" bays and stick wit some small 2.5 disks). Also it has only 300 watt power (or can i swap those? ie are they standard size, always?)

120gb OCZ Agility 3 was R1800 from Takealot a few weeks ago. But your pretty much open to any place like rebeltech and titan-ice. Maybe even prophecy?

Phone NakedIT. They stock Silverstone. I forget who the other Eseller is...
Re: Where can I buy this in SA?
Strange site that NakedIT site, you have to logon?? before you can browse it?
Re: Where can I buy this in SA?
Ah well, it seems to search but is just hard to follow.
But you gave me a good Idea: i looked up the official Silverstone site and there is a a Where to buy tab.
It lists this company for SA:
http://www.foxcomp-shop.co.za/en/
They don't sell SUGO's but I will give them a call.
