Well, I'm in the process of building my own computer. I'll say it now, I'm a complete noob at this, and was refered to this site the other day. This is my first time trying to build my own computer, and I havnt bought anything yet. Anyways, on to my problem.

My dest has a specific place for the computer to go, but after looking around online, I cant find anything that fits the dementions. They are 19"H, 11"W, 17"D. After looking at Newegg, per the instructions here, there doesnt appear to be any cases that will fit my dementions.

If it helps, the current mother board I'm looking at and cpu are:
ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard,
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80562Q6600

I have found a couple cases that would fit in the space provided, but none of which are compatable with the motherboard.
If it comes down to it, there is a removable drawer, which would give me about 25"H, 10"W, if that makes any difference. I'm still limited to 17" deep, though if needed, I could cut out the back and have it out the end there, but I'd perfer not to.

Are there any cases that will work for me?
 
Well, a normal mid size atx case should fit in a space like that but you will have a little bit of a hang over on the front, because you will have to accomendate for cables behind it. If you do not want this you might want to check out some ATX mini towers which will fit a normal ATX mobo. Also if you wanna keep the drawer and want to have ample room around the case I might would suggest looking at a Micro-ATX solution. Which with this solution it could actually save you some money in some cases but it primarily depends on the type of computer you wish to build.

Also it helps other reader help you if you post some pics of the area you got, because well a picture says a thousand words:D, and possible provide a list of components you already have picked out and then some people may offer advice from experince on the products you have chosen and can help you find alternatives to help you with your problem.

P.s. here is a case that fits your deminsions and Antec is a really good case manufacture, might wanna change out powersupply though if you plan on building a beafier system.:D
 
Ah, thanks your your time in this trying to help me. I thought about posting pictures, however I'd wanna clean up a little first as my room isnt exactly all that clean or organized. It justy came to me that I can reorganize a little and I could probably fit a computer over next to my desk, and have no problems.

I'm still hopefull to find something that works, and that one you listed looks fine to me, but I'm gunna move on for now and work on the other stuff I need. thanks for the help.
