Cooler Master HTPC case

Hi all,

 

I am considering building a little PC over at my girlfriends place. She'll use it for text processing and stuff and I could occasionally play a little game (720p is fine).

I was thinking a 2200G system with all the bare minimum specs (and a SSD of course) but I am a little stuck on the case.

Basically she doesn't want a big computer standing in the way, and then I saw someone selling a Cooler Master ATC-620C-BX1 for €10. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the 2200G in such a small case with extremely limited air flow. The other option would be something like the Sharkoon QB One, which I would need to buy new for over €30.

 

Thanks

Doubtful anyone has put a modern CPU like that in such an old case.

 

What about Cooler Master Elite 110? Couldnt find a Netherlands price on it but in the US its roughly $50, or about 44 Euro, and it would be even smaller than the Sharktoon
