P4T will fit in a standard case, all you need is a P4 capabe Power Supply.

The Chenbro Genie and Antec 1040 cases seem very good, look at the best case post in this forum. The 1040 comes with a P4 PSU and the Chenbro doesnt come with one at all

The only reason i havent bought a 1040 is that 'i don't think' the motherboard is designed for all P4 motherboards, but it would fit a P4T.

Antec case is good
and their PS will support p4

I was looking at the antec 1030 but i just saw that the 300w ps doesnt have the +12v connector for the p4...and the 1040 does thing is i dont know if i wanna spend that much $ but i want something with alot of bays something like a small full tower

How much in the 1040?

The Antec Cases are made by Chenming.

Chieftech, Directron and Enermax also have cases based on the same Chenming chassis

directron has a Black version (look under black cases)that has been made for them. It is 'stealth' black and not 'charcoal' black like the 1030b for $79 and you can add your own PSU.

www.pcprogress.com has an inwin Q2000-P4 case, that comes with a Redundant 300 watt each supplies for 99 bucks, I am running it right now, it dosn't come with the p4 4pin molex connector, and you can run with or without it. Nice case/ 5 x 5 1/4 bays, 1 3 1/2, and I think 4 internal 3 1/2 bays, I took my internal out for fans, it's actually a server case, that is the Exact same size as the inwin Q500a.
