1 edit |  Need a nice Mini-ITX case :)
NewEgg case (link above) |
»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···11165041
but I want options  ... It definitely needs to have a
(1) normal-sized hard drive space
(2) external power supply
I plan to use a CD-ROM once to install the OS, so I won't have any drive in the PC. I'd also prefer no fan - if possible, or as quiet one as possible also it would be nice to have it not much more than $100, preferably as little cheap as possible. The size above is good - smaller or bigger is fine.
Any suggestions? Thank you

you sexy sexy |
I finally settled on this beauty
Though it's bigger than the one above, it allows for a full-sized CD-Rom (which is much cheaper than the slim-line), and this case is cheaper also When I assemble it I will put an update with a photo

| PICS !!!
I keep it INSIDE my desk | 
notice the DC power supply |
I took off the metal casing as it keeps more heat inside. The CPU temp is now 27C max.
Notice "no" power supply - there is a DC port on the bottom left where I plug in the external power bloc. The power supply is fanless and silent.
I bought a DVD burner* - THE QUIETEST THING EVER!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
* SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD, Black SATA Model SH-S203N - OEM (thanks NewEgg.com)
I keep the PC inside my desk - it stays silent and cool.
