Hi I am going to build a htpc with the motherboard Asus AT3IonT-I Deluxe and Samsung EcoGreen F2 HD103SI 32MB 1TB and maybe also a blueray drive, slim if needed.
Since the Ion board comes with an external power supply I don't need one in the chassi which give me more room in it.
My first thought was then to buy the ace polly chassi that has room for a 80mm fan but then I started to wonder if there are any chassi that is small and maybe also have room for a 120mm fan if the power supply is not needed.
Does anyone have a good solution for this? If I could fit a 120mm fan then I could run it a lowest speed and get an almost complete silent htpc which works for most things except heavy games.
small case rebuilt with 80mm fan or 120mm fan?

Hi Darkpoem, do you live in Sweden (Tavlesjö)?
Try the almighty prisjakt.nu, here's a link to mITX cases with 120 mm fans.
Simple as that.
Same search on newegg.com, desktop or tower, for example.
(Basically Lian-Li PC-Q08 or Silverstone Sugo SG05/06)

Re: small case rebuilt with 80mm fan or 120mm fan?
Thx but I have used prisjakt several times but I just thought that the chassis that I searched on prisjakt for example was to expensive and to large and I wanted for example take a smaller chassi and use a larger fan.
Since I don't need the space for the power supply I just thought that someone had used a smaller chassi and put a larger fan in it somehow.
So maybe I should rewrtie my question:
Has anyone rebuild a small cheap case so that it fits a 80 or 120mm fan. I donät need the space for the power supply since I will use an external power supply that comes with the motheboard
