I am upgrading my son's computer and need a decent ATX case to replace his old AT case, the only requirment I am looking for is a tower case that is 15 inches tall or less so it will still fit under the hutch on his desk. I really don't want to go micro ATX as they seem to have low wattage power supplies...Thanks for any input.

That T-5 is a nice looking case. Might also want to check out

Superpower

Their small midtower is 14-1/4" tall, and the Micro-ATX has a 250W PSU plus a rear fan mount.

I don't know about you, but I am in the kids' machine a lot more than my own, so the sidemount psu would be a pain. Their machine puts out more heat than mine, as well. Those 3D games and the voodoo3 give it a real workout.

"Dad" becomes a two syllable word: "Da-ad"
As in:
"Da-ad, Jimmy knocked the computer over and now it won't boot."
"Da-ad, my new game won't run"
"Da-ad, All I get is this blue screen."
"Da-ad, the computer sounds like the cats fighting."
"Da-ad, the screen went black and there's this bad smell..." Smoke was still coming off of the old ATI vidcard when I opened it up.
