Smaller non flashy case?

I'm looking for a smaller, none 50lb case like I have now.

The on I have has 4 HD bays, 2 floppy and 3 cdrom drive ones.

I have 2 HD's and 2 cd drives. Thats all I really need room for.

I was kinda looking for something that looks kinda contemporary. Doesnt have flashy lights everywhere. And is really light, easy to move.

thanks,

I like the design of the Antec NSK series, might be worth checking out. The NSK-3480 is really small, but not sure if you're looking at micro-ATX. Also it's pretty tiny, you could probably fit 2 CD drives and 2 HDDs in there, but it will be cramped and will limit the number of add-on cards you can install and maybe the size of the CPU cooler.
 
You didn't mention what size your mobo is - that's important in suggesting a case...

I have a nice Cooler Master Mystique 631 in my FS/T listing. It's on the small side of the ATX mid-tower range and is nice and light as it is mostly aluminum. If you don't want the LEDs on the fan, that can be fixed... Only the front fan is LED while the rear is black.

Here are a couple of pix:

Used to be an Evercase at eWiz (new name now). Nice little box that holds a standard ATX PSU, but it might be a mATX case.

Rosewill has a compact ATX case that gets that way by tucking the PSU sidesaddle in the bottom front - check that out at Newegg. Pretty simple inside all it really has going for it is being small for an ATX case. Low price too. As is often the case on unusual designs, cooling might have to be played with to get good results.
