I'm building a new computer, and I'm looking for the smallest case that supports the following:

1. Fits a regular atx mobo
2. Fits a regular atx power supply
3. At least 1 internal 3.5" bay, preferably 2, but I don't need an optical drive.
4. I'm only using 1 pci-e expansion slot, so I'm ok with funky things like riser cards, etc.

I need this to be a powerful machine: P35 mobo with a core 2, plus a geforce 8800 series.

Basically, I will be moving this computer around very often, so I'm looking for the smallest case possible thats the easiest to move around. Weight is not a concern. I'm open to non-standard cases like the Silverstone LC04. Only reason I don't like it is because it doesn't take a standard atx psu.

So, can you guys help me out?

Edit: I don't absolutely need a full atx mobo, but are there any microATX mobos out there with good core 2 overclocking ability?

MircoATX generally aren't suited for overclocking. Most of them have onboard video chipsets which will limit your overclock.

nMedia 300, Antec has some Super LANBoy in their B Stock store (pretty compact for an ATX case.

I'm assuming you haven't bought the card yet, so just get an 8800GT or an undated GTS.

One of the buyers' comments said it swallowed his X1950 OK - I think those are as long as the GTX.

Isn't B Stock slightly damaged?

What they say is: May have some minor cosmetic imperfections. Most the time they are near enough to new to make no diff.
