I am looking for a new case. Here's the story...
A few months ago my Nvidia 9800 gave up on me and I took the logical course and spent way too much money on a new 260. Well, this caused issues as the computer case I have been using for years was not large enough to accommodate the new longer card without removing at least one hard drive. This has left me with only my 2 raid0 raptors which has limited my storage significantly. This year I am looking to finally replace my old case and while I am at it I would like to have something visually appealing enough that I would feel comfortable getting the case up off the floor and place it onto my desk. I would like something low profile yet roomy enough for the 260 and at least 3 hard drives.
I like the idea of the Antec Skeleton case but the open air setup would allow a bit too much of the fan noise for my taste. Overall I am looking for something low profile, and I am considering using one of the home theater cases but for the most part they are much too small for a full time gaming rig with a large video card and 3 hard drives. Anyone know of any low profile designs that would fit everything comfortably?
