Hi guys.. I have some problem with space. My table is only 70cm width!!
With 23" monitor, it will have not enough space for thermaltake case (26cm width).

Any recommendation for slim case that suitable for below rig configuration?
Budget less than $100.

Many thanks in advance.

I would reccomend you to put ur rig on the floor instead
Having a smaller case will increase the tendency of ur system overheating due to insufficient airflow

Ya, this model is the Standard ATX size

I will recommend u sell ur PSU and go for a SFX PSU, due ur space limitation..

Buy from t258jgn

[PSU] FSP SFX 450W Bronze 80+
[Case] Silverstone RV Z01

Total :- $205.00

U can also consider getting the rest of the parts from t258jgn

Ya, buying a bigger table is more troublesome.. haha

Get a SFX PSU is for have a smaller/silmmer case, vice-versa..

Personally, Silverstone RVZ 01 is a sexy case ! :s12:

The usual suggestion is of mATX hence not suitable to TS's requirements. That is if you do not have space limitation then the usual suggestion + a separate WiFi card will be your better bet. Intel Wireless-AC 7260 (with PCIe adapter and antenna) standalone retail package is selling for $85 at Laser....

Then again did you really need WiFi card or possibly able to connect to router directly via LAN at your home? What internet plan and router are you using now?

Some suggestion with your remaining cash:

Black-White-Blue Themed

CPU+MB: Intel Core i5-4460 + ASRock H81M-HDS R2.0 @ $336
RAM: Crucial DDR3-1600 CL11 8GB @ $60
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB @ $77
CASE+PSU: Armaggeddon Microtron T2X [White] + FSP Aurum S 500W [80 Plus Gold] @ $119* (Lazada Singapore)
WIFI: ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless-N Single Band 300 Mbps [PCIe] @ $55 (Cybermind)
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit Product Key [OEM] @ $28 (Reddit)

Total: $675

Buy others from Tradepac, #05-18. Haggle for discounts!

*Price after Lazada App MasterCard Monday 15% off purchase [Max $30]

the reddit oem windows 7 can upgrade to windows 10 or not 1?

Hi guys..

Went to SLS today..

visit Tradepac and PCthemes.. both have no stock for Gigabyte H97N ITX WIFI
Did not visit others because not much time on my hand..

Was recommended by PCthemes for Gigabyte H170N ITX WIFI.
H170N + i5-6400 is ard $45 more expensive than H97N + i5-4460..

If i get the skylake.. are there any changes in my initial configuration?
I guess my RAM need to be changed. But to what spec? Pls advise

CPU+MB+WIFI+BT: Intel Core i5-6400 + Gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI

RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DDR3-1600 CL11 8GB
GPU: Palit GTX 950 2GB StormX - Purchased
SSD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB - Purchased
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB
PSU: Super Flower Leadex Silver 550W [80 Plus Silver] - Purchased
CASE: not yet decide
MONITOR: Philips 23" 234E5 - Purchased

Many thanks in advance

Get Core i5-6500 but i still find Skylake pricey at this timing. You can try Laser Distributor, Best Bargain or Bizgram in the order for H97N
