Need a nice Mini-ITX case :)

NewEgg case (link above)

I've been looking all over the internet in hopes of finding something like this:

»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

thank you for the suggestion (didn't know about this site)

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

finally I made the photos I threatened to show before

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.
