Looking for small, sleek looking case.

[Aarmin]

I have been searching the last few days for a small and sleek computer case; maybe I would have better luck if my internet was back to normal.

Not sure where to start; looking for (1)5.2" external drive bay, (1)3.5" external (for card reader), and internal space for two hardrives.

This will be a non-gaming PC; rather graphic editing and watching videos on my 2nd monitor connection (my TV); and of course email/internet.

uATX motherboard is probably ideal for a small case. My ideal of "small" may differ, so when I say "small" lets say maybe 6/7" wide (lets say a desktop PC standing in a tower form).

The two-hardrive space is the tricky part for every small case I have come to like---they can only hold one. I may just give up and upsize a bit.

,feed up with the old gateway laptop.

I'm kindof leaning towards the Antec NSK3480. Would I be able to put an adapter to mount a hard drive in the 5.25" bay?

How about this:

I have 3 hard drives + 2 optical drives (added another after the pics in my sig were taken) and even water cooling (check my sig) in there...it takes regular ATX mobos as well and is made from aluminum. It is long though compared to the Antec you posted.

Take a look at the Silverstone Sugo series SG03/04: http://www.silverstonetek.com/...enclosure.php?area=usa. They look nice to me for a minitower box. Some models are scarce. The LL PC-A05 is short, but deep (>19") and wide (>8"). Hard to find anything much narrower than 8" considering optical drives are 6" wide - the Sugo are just under 8" wide. The short cable versions of the Antec EA-380 PSUs would be nice to use in the Sugos - usually find at a reasonable price on fleaBay and sometimes on the regular reseller sites (but they aren't a retail product (have to be a pull from a case/PSU combo) though Antec often has them (as a replacement part) at their online store (but at full retail + ridic. sh)). The SG03 is at a pretty good deal at the Egg right now after rebate.
