Hi guys and thanks for all of the suggestions, I did however take on board what everyone said and had a rethink and ordered a Prime AP201Micro ATX case, so I know it will see some dust and need a clean now and again but the size is great and so is the ventilation as that is going to be paramount for me.

Cheers

That's a good choice - I have that case myself (white with tempered glass side panel) that I've built in and I quite like it. The mesh lets a bit of dust in, but haven't had any issues with temps. Easy enough to blow it out every so often if you don't let it build up

What way did you install the PSU, I was always told warm air needs to be vented out so I have the main fan pointing out towards the front and the warm air goes up out the top.

PSU fans are intakes, not exhausts.

Depends how you orientate them as inside a PSU are plastic air guides, like I said main fan on the PSU facing the front but I could mount it plug at the bottom or top with some creative fettling.

No it doesn't. The fans on a PSU pull air into the PSU. That makes them intake fans. Turn the PSU upside down, and the fan still pulls air into the PSU, just upside down.

Nope totally wrong, I have also had the fan facing to the back stood upright and pulling air from the case via the built in 120mm fan in the psu, I had to do it wit a really dumb case I had years ago, you have to do what you have to do to get the result you need.

No, I am not wrong. The fan on a PSU pulls air into the PSU so it is an intake fan. 

You are wrong as you can orientate it to blow, actually you can break the seal and turn the actual fan upside down so it pulls air through the mesh vent, I have replaced the PSU fan for a Noctua NF-P12, look up the word "customise"

Given that you appear to think that you can install an ATX motherboard in a mini-ITX or Micro-ATX case, I think it's probably best that you don't lecture people on how computers work. Yes, you can probably open up a PSU and switch the fan round, but nobody with any sense would do that. If you don't know what you're doing then opening up a PSU can kill you even if it's disconnected from the mains.

Coming from somebody who can't even think out of the box is hilarious, and I never said I wanted to use an ATX in a mini or micro case numb nuts, the only person here without a clue is you yah bell end.
