Well, so I exaggerate a bit. I've *never* exaggerated before, and I'll *never* do it again. <g> The old case is a Ultra Aluminus Mid Tower ATX, so I guess that answers that question. This thing has lots of ventilation, even a tunnel in the side of the case that leads directly to the processor. There is an extra fan mount on the back of the case that wasn't used. Ventilation is a problem for me, as my computer is under the desk. In the summer, I actually put a desk fan at my feet. Getting rid of a couple of computers in favor of the "one box solution." I don't have any kit in mind. I haven't shopped yet, and I know really nothing about hardware stuff. Anybody want to make a recommendation about processor levels? I'm no gamer, I just do development, and a bit of Photoshop and video editing. I intend to run Ubuntu, and Windows 7 as a VM. Business hasn't been too great, so I need to strike a reasonable balance between getting a machine that will serve me well for a few years, and saving a few bucks.
