Okay,

I've decided to built a small gaming machine for home and keep my main desktop game free. I'd like it to be a small form factor (Shuttle like) but apart from that the only controlling factor is that I have an ATI X800 PCI-E card for it (from my Dell Dimension).

So, anyone got any decent case suggestions (small ish), motherboards etc.? I suppose I'd quite like to go AMD 64 but I'd like to keep the build cost to <£300. I've already got monitor, keyboard & mouse.
