I am looking to build a new pc, mine is starting to get pretty old, but I am pretty sure I will be able to use some stuff from it (sound card/dvd burner/psu?)

Anyways, I will be moving back to europe and the hardware here in the US is just so much cheaper... so I need the pc to be compact enough to fit on board a plane (no full tower ATX)

I need loots of storage, 3-5TB ~ and I think I will just keep the 1tb drive I have and ditch the other ones

I do mulitask alot, so I need a lot of ram also, and I would prefer a quad core processor

I will be using the pc for some mild gaming, but mostly internet use/graphics, (I have a 26' monitor, and I am planning to dual screen, so it needs to have a decent video card)

and my last requirement is the ability to fully run windows 7

I am working on picking the parts now, any help would be appreciated

edit: lol, I just noticed I have 999 posts, and 66 rep..

avoid thermaltake. see if you could go for the EVGA Classified, and stick with the 260 but core216 version, they overclock really well.

I dont plan on overclocking the video card, this pc will probably run 24/7, and stability/silence is more imporant to me than 10% video performance gain

could you help me pick a nice micro atx case? I need at least two hd bays, and 2 drive bays.. and as I said before, it needs to fit on board a plane (carryon)

not a bad setup. if you need something from the u.s let me know. i have a friend in the uk i buy parts for and send to him, he pays for shipping and the part. it takes normally 2 weeks to get it to him, but still cheaper than he pays right now local.
