I have been looking on eBuyer and other sites as I was considering building a computer until I realised how expensive my selection would have been (I would have been going for HAF-X though) and I came across this case

The case may support that many but most motherboards do not, although adapters can be purchased to put in the psu or another slot on the boad

I have a strange desk so it would fit under mine or at least beside it. I don't think it looks bad but I would probably go for the HAF-X as the LEDs and design is just mesmerising

That doesnt really bother me, the only thing currently that id buy 3.0 is another external hdd which currently i do not need and it would also be left there so can be plugged in at the back

Are there any other devices other than storage that use 3.0?

I have a USB3 external. I think the top end canon camcorders are beginning to use USB3

A lot cameras also use firewire which is extremely fast

You can alwaysnstick the external into the back as you probably wont move it much will you?

Ok thanks, sadlymi no longer have windows after my hdd broke and i had to use an old one with no windows on it, so i downloaded linux and i use that, im not bothering with a pirate version its not worth the hassle and im not really a fan of illegally downloading, especially more expensive softwares

Handbrake usually works so maybe you are missing a step? If you still can't fix it you may just have to download them. :(

I downloaded a lot of films from torrents (only ones i own) because i gave up with it, it was much easier to download a 720p version online than rip my copy to only 480p

I download 1080p ones but they take like a few hours to download... TBH I will buy blu rays but probably download a lot

Blu rays have a digital copy that is easy to download

I only download the 720p version because my monitor is 1366x768
