I had initially start pricing up the individual parts, but wasn't finding everything and there's the whole making sure bits are compatible and having proper airflow that's a bigger issue in something small, so was thinking fuck it I just want it done.
Then some total /poohead/ posted a link to a site which helps check things are compatible which meant last night I started thinking why not go ahead and do a proper custom build, and I was exploring different possible chassis options.
So then today I was considering desk arrangements and space and... short version: I have enough space for a NanoQube or MicroQube - the latter will be a tighter fit, but has front USB and headphone socket.
So if I feel the same way tomorrow I think I'll order that, once I've made up my mind on the hard-drive front...
