ecosmartpc ships to the EU, no problem.
The MC-80 is the same as the HT-80 which is on the page I sent you. It's a really nice case. It's very limited in height so you will have to find a 28mm (1U) CPU cooler for the i3-3225.
Streacom makes very nice cases. You will pay a lot more for them. They are made by the same OEM as some of the ecosmartpc cases (not the Realan cases but the IWill cases).
IMHO, the case to get is the one you fall in love with

Pretty sure my stock 3220t cooler is below 28mm - you'll loose some gpu power but get a lower tdp - lower heat
If you're not planing to play games its an excellent prossessor for a htpc

IIRC, the "T" coolers are 28mm (1U) height. They definitely fit in the MC-80 aka HT-80.

Thanks lad's. After alot of thinking i decided to go with the Streacom FC8 Evo Case
With the case added this will be my final setup:
Case
Streacom FC8 Evo Black
Powersupply
Streacom PicoPsu 150W + 150W Adapter Power Kit
Processor
Intel Core i3 3225 Boxed
Motherboard
Asus P8-H77-I
Memory
Corsair Vengeance LP CML4GX3M2A1600C9
Any thoughts on how to control this beast? i like this remote i guess http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/product...-xbmc.aspx
Or at least something stimular so with the normal remote keys on top and a keyboard on the other side.
Do i need to originel IR reciever from Streacom, or can i install a 3th party reciever?
And is it possible to use a different IR remote with the IR reciever from Streacom?
(Remember i will be running OpenELEC so everything has to be supported there to)
