most compact case for a quad and 8600gt

[f1sh3r]

im looking for a compact case that can house and properly cool

microatx mobo
q6700
8600gt/s
2xhdd (can go 1 and 1 external if need be)
1 optical

could someone suggest a heatsink for the q6700 as well?

thanks

There are WAY too many options based on those criteria. Do you have a specific size, style or layout? Price range? Color? Anything to help narrow it down??

Also, was there a specific reason for going uATX? There are a few Full ATX mini towers that are small by anyones reckoning.

Sorry, dp.

ok.. black with an integrated multimedia card reader and under a cnote

looking for something that can be quiet for a bedroom, and also portable for lan parties. doesnt necessarily have to be a uATX case, but the mobo is uATX. a mini full would probably do the job. i forgot to mention that there would also be 2 tv tuners

uATX mobo
q6700
8600gt/s
2 tuners
2 hdd
1 optical
integrated card reader
black in color - w or w/o window i dont care
< $100 would be great

my main concern is cooling the components in a confined space. just want a case that has the fan mounts / ventalation needed so i dont burn up.

why would you want a 8600GT? Hmm... The Centurion 534 might work?

too big. The Lian Li A05 or G50 are right up your alley. They don't include card readers but, they're $90 and a decent card reader is all of $5
