Smaller case recommendation?

[abaez]

I just bought an opteron 146 that I plan to OC (runs at about 2.4 on retail heatsink) nothing major just a nice little boost.

I have never liked big cases because I don't have much in them, I'm going to have just one dvdrom, one 400g sata HD, and a 7800gt vidcard.

I currently have a small lian li, but the problem is that with the my case the power supply goes in vertically directly over the heatsink (see this picture: Vertical) which makes heat an issue right now (I have a 2.8 p4 at 3.3).

Now, I am looking for a smaller case with the power supply in the regular position, I'm looking at two: Lian Li pc7b: 7b or the Antec TX640B: 640B

Will either of these cases be enough airflow/cooling for my overclock? I have no problem buying a bigger case if need be, but I was leaning toward the antec because it has the side duct things for the vidcard and cpu. Although admittedly, I have no clue if either will provide enough airflow or not.

If these cases won't be sufficient, does anyone have any suggestions for a mid tower case on the small end of the scale? A thermaltake or coolermaster maybe? Or just a bigger antec/lian li? Cost really isn't an issue but if I have to go for a bigger case I'd like it to be a nice one (removable mobo tray etc).

Thanks

antec one looks pretty decent. From the pics, it looks like there is a side intake, so i believe that if you oc in this case, it will be fine.

Check out the Antec slk1650- just about the smallest atx box currently on the market...

The beige pics show more detail...

Either of the cases you referenced above would do well, too, although they are a little larger..

Thanks guys, I'm gonna go with the antec one since I can do a local pickup at mwave. I can also sell the PS in it too.
