I am making a portable case so I want the smallest ATX case out there. not microATX either.

All the cases I see seem to have tons of 51/4 bays and 2-3 31/2 bays. I only need 1 for CDROM, 1 for HD, and 1 for floppy. Thats all I need!

Anyone know of such a small case, or at least whats the smallest you have seen? Everyone seems to make mid-towers these days.
What happened to the old mini-towers? I have a smaller one in my basement I will use if I cant find any smaller ones.
The two I have upstairs are both mid towers with 4 51/4 bays on the front panel.


Thanks!

I'm not quite sure it is the smallest, but damn close is the Chilli Professional. Damn expensive, I got one for my girlfriend and she loves it because it's uber small and uber quiet. There's like no real airflow pattern and it's a pain in the ass to take it apart, but when you get everything together it's very compact, like EXTREMELY compact. Chilli is no longer in business, however Wahoo Computer still stocks their cases @ $190 ea. 1/4" aluminum. I think it may be just me, but for some reason I think the 1/4" dampens the sound or something, because it's just rediculously quiet. There are 3 versions, so make sure you know which one you're getting. If you're ordering from Wahoo I would call them to make sure.
