Been thinking of the next build after i finish upgrading my main rig.

This will a be mini itx system, intel 4670 for the cpu and the possibilty to wack a dedicated gpu in if i wanted to later on do the line.

It would have to be super quite therefore no dedicated gpu.

Small as possible yet still keeping the ability to upgrade and have decent spec.

Its main use would be as a general media pc, watching HD 1080p films, general web browsing and finally steam in home streaming.

It would be connected up to my server for storage.

fractal node or silverstone milo for a case?

Fractal node case looks good. Not sure how small the 250D is.

250d and prodigy are quite similiar, although the prodigy is taller. The Lian Li TU100B is a case work looking at for travelling of even just for a small case.

I wouldn't say they're similar... The Prodigy is huge for an itx case.

The 250D is somewhere between the Elite 120 and Prodigy in size.
