Hey guys I recently went to a Lan Party and everybody had all these tiny cases... they owned, I wantwed one. Also people has probably about 3 terabytes of cool stuff that they were sharing(510 people). Many of them also played games I wish I had when I was there so here is what I am asking.

Should I Buy:

A Case : thinking about the Super Lanboy, (any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. smaller cases, etc.)
A Hardrive : I really dont know where to begin here, (any suggestions would be greatly appreciated)
A Game : thinking abot buying Warhammer 40K : Dawn Of War if not a hardrive or case.(any suggestions would be greatly appreciated)
 
All of them

It's really just a personal preference. I would get a hard drive myself, but that's only because I already got a case and I'm not really into games except for some MMO's.

If you want a hard drive though, there's some nice deals you can find in the hot deals section of the forum. off the top of my head:
Seagate 160gb 7200rpm 8mb cache - $99 - $50 Mail in rebate ($49 after rebate)
200gb (I think) 7200 rpm 8mb cache - $90?
Maxtor 60gb 7200rpm 2mb? cache - $80 - $50 Instant rebate ($30 out the door)
 
Well I dont have the money for all of them as that is why I posted this. ;)

Thanks for helping me out with the hardrive I will look into those, as for me I am a HEAVY gamer.

Still looking for suggestions for a case.

Oh and by the way my budget is $80-$100 for all of these items. ( The cases I know can cost a lot, ebay. ;) ) Give me any suggestion for cases is what I mean that are small cases that I can fit an normal size PC things into.
 
if you can find a decent price on teh hard drive then youll probably be able to get Dawn of war too. man i really want that game, herd the new rescource sytem is awesome and its good to get a break from war3
 
Yeah DOW it a pretty fun game, have played WC3 but didnt like it. Anyways I am kinda leaning toward a new slick nice small little case. Any suggestions.
 
If u want a really small case (fits Micro-ATX mobos), then a SHuttle or a Antec Aria would do good. Those are small but can hold a good amount. A shuttle is a barbone pc, comes with a micro-atx already in it, aswell as some other cool stuff. For hds, get a atleast a 80gb to hold the games. 200gb would be nice.
 
Well yeah I want a small case but not the size of a shuttle pc unless I can get money somehow for a new micro mobo, does the aria come with a micro mobo?
 
shuttles and other barebone small form computers come complete with a mother board, psu and case.
 
Well if the aria and manyothers come with a mobo then I will happily buy one, but where can I find a shuttle case with a floppy drive for around $150.
 
I'd be picking up a 200Gig Seagate HDD. Storage space is so nice to have and they are fairly cheap in my oppinion. I picked mine up for $175 Canadian and it's awesome. You can never have too much HDD space. It's nice to be able to actually store stuff.
 
I looked on ebay and those 200GB drives can be cheap, I might pick up a 160 or something though so I dont have to save more money.
