Very nice. A quite different price bracket though: ~AU$175 for the case, ~AU$108 for the PSU.Look for the Streacom FC8 Evo Fanless chassis. Maybe is this you're looking for.
The case+PSU has turned out to only be AU$45 more expensive than the Element Q, which is a premium I'm prepared to go with.
Just to recap: this box will hold a a GA-H77N-WIFI, i3-3225, 2x 4GB RAM, 500GB 2.5" HDD, and an optical drive (probably a Blu-ray burner eventually).
Can anyone see a problem with this? Sure there are "better" solutions available, but if you see a problem with this I'd appreciate the heads-up.
Thanks for the discussion folks - it has helped!
Except that it doesn't support an external drive bay (I did mention I wanted to put an optical drive in didn't I?).fractal node 304. That's all you need for modern, simplistic design.
