Whats your mother board size? is it mini atx, micro atx or atx? Cross check if the small form factor cabinets can accomodate your CPU.

You may also need to get an entry level GPU. Whats your mother board model?

[digit1191]

why would he need a GPU ? 9600GT is more than enough for HTPC

[Ayuclack]

No GPU Needed 9600 GT is more than enough and the motherboard I am using is micro atx board .

I don't need that much slim form factor but the case should have full gpu expansion slot ...
Don't know about the iBall One!!!
