Okay I'm making a new thread to clarify what it is that I want.

A tower (not base) case that looks like this:

    There are a bunch of good 'desktop' cases that you can stand on end.
    Like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811195019

    Just make sure that there are no vents in the left side (to be your bottom) or you could have some cooling issues.
    Lian-Li makes some great cases like this that are over $200. Take your pick.

    :D I love the diagrams..

    Are you looking for a mATX form factor? or standard ATX?

    I've been a nerd for so long but I don't know what mATX form factoror standard ATX means............ :bawling:




    I guess the smaller one, if it supports modern sized things (graphic cards, hard drives, dvd-roms, etc.)

    mATX (mirco ATX) is just a shortened ATX form, so fewer slots usually.. ATX is what 75% of the boards out there use today..

    Here's an mATX example..

    Yes, Micro then, (graphics card, sound card, what else do you need?)

    Anything to make it smaller.

    why does it have to be so specific?

    not insulting, just curious.

    I'm just getting tired of super big computers, when there no real reason to have one. I'm going to be moving alot, dorm, to house, maybe a apartment later. I would just like something small and easy to get on the plane.

    So now I can have a smaller computer, and a flat panel monitor. Its all just a lot easier. And if I can only find a way to put a handle on it..... :scratch:

    well the plan is to have it on the ground, so if I have a shuttle, it is actually thicker than a normal computer.
