InWIN Z720, or other suggestions

[Ryver]

I have a space constraint that requires my case to be no longer than about 15 inches. I've looked at the SFFs, but the ones I want around out yet and I will probably want to order before they are.

I've been looking at the InWin Z720 which meets my requirements. Does anyone know much about this case?

I'm going to add the following, or something similar.

Athlon64 939-pin motherboard with PCI-X
Athlon64 3000+
NVidia 6600 GT PCI-E
120G Samsung HD, SATA
1G RAM
DVD+/-RW

I'm wondering about the power, noise and cooling of the case. I haven't seen many reviews on it unfortunately.

Are there any other cases with this space constrait that can be recommended?

If it were me I'd look for something with a little more juice - 350W range. Otherwise, InWin makes nice quality products. Sounds like a reasonable choice.

Thanks Nessism. If needed, it looks like I can drop in another ATX PSU without any issues. I know silentpcreview lists a nice 350W for about $50 or so, the Seasonic Super Silencer series.

Looks like a good case.. With the right PSU (and it does take standard ATX PSUs so you are fine there), you can definitely keep it reasonably cool, especially since it has that additional 90mm fan grille in the back and in the front. Throw in some Panaflo 90mm fans and it should be quiet as well.

The only caveat is that you have to look for a MicroATX motherboard (a standard ATX mobo will not fit), but I suspect you are aware of that already.

HTH!

Thank you Wisdomtooth.

Yes, I do know about the mATX board requirement. The first one that meets my needs is coming out in the next few weeks from MSI. Since I'm not an overclocker or care about the absolute best performance , I think it will fit my needs.

Cool, I'll add a PSU and some fans to my list.

Thanks for the advice.
