Hey all. So, I'm getting sick of lugging this 30lb steel case around. I'm sitting here looking at my friend's SFF box (not for gaming, or else I'd ask him what he recommends. ;)) in absolute awe. I remember wanting one of those Falcon-NW Fragboxes a while back.

So, my question. With current hardware heat generation, size and PSU capacities, is it at all realistic to expect to be able to build a gaming PC and shove it into say...this case?

I want to build something that's definitely a large upgrade over what I have in my signature, but since I'm not going to spend much, I know it wont be bleeding edge. For reference, the most graphically intense game I play is definitely Everquest 2. Soon to be CoD4. :p So, mostly modest...

I will be buying a 24" monitor at some point, so I guess less modest if you consider the resolutions that's capable of.

So yeah, am I crazy? If not, any advice for getting the most out of (or into!) a case this small would be great. Thanks!
 
this is the case you are looking for
i have 1 myself ( it can handle a 12 inch long card )
but i do recommend that you source a video card that has it`s own power supply
they are made but not easily sourced
2 cdrom bays
1 floppy bay ( could be used for 2nd hdd )
1 hard drive bay
300 watt power supply
i will be looking at that zotac 775 mobo with eagerness
