This may be just right for those small AMD motherboards we've been seeing

Biostar launched this affordable AMD FM2 mainboard not long ago, and even an all-in-one mini-ITX model, but they need a case to call their home, and SilverStone's Precision Series PS08B could be perfect.

While it looks a bit cramped (you'll notice that the fully-equipped PC photo doesn't include cables), it should work well for small media and business systems (both micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards are supported).

Interestingly enough, the mainboard tray has a cutout around the CPU socket area, meaning that large coolers and back plates can be used.

For that matter, the chassis is quite long as well. Video cards of up to 14.1-inch (35.8 cm) in length can be installed, as long as the height isn't over 5.7 inches (14.47 cm). Anything larger and the HDDs/SSDs won't like it.

The key to this is that the 3.5-inch drive cage is located closer to the left-hand side of the case's front (the VGA cards can pass right through it).

According to Hermitage Akihabara, sales will start in late October 2012, for 3,980¥ (US $50 / 48 Euro).
