Well, I was wondering if you guys know of a site that sells very small ATX cases. I have as Abit BH6 and wanted something very, very small. I know microATX cases won't work because they're too small and my board won't fit. Any other suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance :)

Take Care,
T

From my research, I don't think that you are going to find anything smaller than a 3-5.25, 2-3.5 drive bay mid-tower case to house a full sized ATX type mobo. An ATX [fullsize] mobo needs ~12" of vertical height in a 'tower' type case.
As for a 'desk-top' case, I have no idea on what is available.

Check out the selection at Directron.com. They carry the Enlight 7101 and the slightly larger Fong Kai 604.

The reason I mention these two is that all the smaller ATX cases use the "side saddle" PSU mount as a matter of necessity. This makes most of them a pain to work in. The Enlight has a removable mobo tray, and the Fong Kai lets the psu slide back out of the way, making access easier. Both are wide enough that slotkets should (?) be OK.

Thanks for the reply guys. I also have a thread running on the motherboard forum about how I'm considering buying a microATX board that has voltage adjustments. I'm going to Directron.com now to take a look.

Thanks Again,
