    Hey friends, I'm trying to fix my new pc up a bit and the first thing I'm going to do is chunk my ATX med. twr case w/350w ps, and I'm thinking of going with something a little smaller....

    http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA22037


    My question is, will my mainboard( and other essentials) fit inside this case? My mainboard is a "(Sckt939)EVGA nForce4 SLI Chipset SATA RAID Dual PCI-E Mainboard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,&7.1Audio".

    If this setup will not work, can someone please pass me a link that has smaller cases w/windows that can house my junk in the trunk?

    Thanks for any help provided.

    In order for the motherboard to fit it needs to be micro atx and thats about it. If that board that you listed is micro atx then it will most likely fit. My friend got that case and overall is pretty happy with it but it has major thermal issues just like all shuttle cases. The video card blocks all airflow comming off the cpu and the power supply fan and the 120mm fan it has in the back just sucks out the top air while the hot air comming off the video card and cpu is trapped. His solution was one of these...

    one of these...

    and some of these stuck on all sorts of hot spots including ram...

    hope this helps and to be honest it looks cheasier in real life... but it has a good power supply and is overall pretty good.

    Thanks for the links and the advice, I love that Aluminum Double Cooling fan. I'm guessing my mainboard isnt a Micro Atx, but I was hoping to squeeze the damn thing in there somewhere:) . Do you know of any other small cases that can house my EVGA mainboard?


    :) :confused: lol, How is it cheesy? Its not made of plastic is it? Or does it just look out of place?
