For the first time, Im having to find a desktop case to set up a system in. Id rather not, but I have to for space reasons. Does anyone know any good cases off the top of their heads? It can be any size really, the bigger the better, but no bulky. Thanks in advance.

Really? You can't fit a tower in your location? I'm curious -- where is this system going to be placed ?

Its for my wife. She wants it on the desktop...small desk, so that she can put the monitor on top of it. She need to mess with CDs and CDrs all the time and doesnt want to be reaching under her desk....nor does she want a tall tower (or mini for that matter) on her desk. I disagreed with her.....but hey, its her computer, not mine. Mines a huge tower under the desk. I might just buy a tower and lay it down, but then Id have to rework the bays.

Might want to check out the selection at directron.com. They even carry a convertible desktop/tower from Palo Alto, just in case she changes her mind.

Depending on what she does with her computer, and what she expects from it, you might look into Micro-ATX form factor, which translates better into a desktop format.
