smaller tower

okay. . .I have a cubby hole in my desk that is 6" x 6" x 12"
so is it possible too crunch my tower(build a new one) too fit
with plenty of cooling room

 

sure, the question is do you have small enough components??

 

no. .but it can be done? being fully functional
getting what I need shouldn't be a problem, right?

 

You'll probably not be able to fit a standard ATX motherboard in there, but you might wanna check out a miniITX motherboard with an embedded processor. Not exactly hi-performance stuff, but its small and thats its purpose.

 

Actually, that said this :http://www.icp-epia.co.uk/datasheet_epiap4.html
will let you use a P4 on it... up to 3.06Ghz, so you might be able to make a performer out of it yet!

 

looks good to me, thanks fishy
