any ideas?

One of my favorite mATX cases is the Silverstone SG-01. But unfortunately its elongated... you might want to look at the Shuttle cases?

You mean this?

yup thats the one :) but newegg dont ship to the uk :( and im guessing it would come with the wrong plug lead. btw would it be insane to put a 8800 gt in there?

Oh, well, I don't know many UK venors, so you're on your own there, sorry. And no, it would not be insane to put an 8800GT in there, it would definitely be stressing that little PSU, but I think it would work. You can read a UK review of the SP35P2 Pro here and maybe e-mail the author to find out where you can buy it.

EDIT:
I just found it at Ebuyer

I believe shuttle sells direct off their site, or via contacting them...That'd solve your problems..
We bought a few shuttle barebones direct when LC was getting started.

Now its a battle between:

SG33G5M DELUXE vs SP35P2 Pro

I would go with the SP35P2 Pro because it has a beefier power supply that is more suitable for a higher-end video card like the 8800GT. Plus it is cheaper and I don't think you'll need the fingerprint scanner on the SG33G5M Deluxe.

hmm makes alot of sense, so if i wanted an entertainment pc i should go for the SG33G5M DELUXE for the wifi and bluetooth built in, however the 8800gt deserves the SP35P2 Pro?

if i wanted a gpu for the SG33G5M DELUXE which should i go for consisdering the hd aspect of the comp?

Put simply i want to make either a compact gaming pc or a HTPC for my new house and 32" screen.
