Hey, so I'm building a machine that needs to be highly portable. (i drag mine all over the place, including the AH con in a month)

Im looking for a high quality ATX mini-tower that will have enough free air to house an athalon 1500+ or higher processor, with a gf4 as the video card.

Anyone have any brands they prefer? I'm an InWin person myself but i'm looking for a case which has a little more style

Thanks in advance!

I have an Antec PLUS660B that I am real happy with. XP2100+ and GF4 and no temp problems.

I am partial to Antec cases. You can get the performance-plus line with an optional side panel that will hold a fan as well. The side panel fan sits right above the AGP/CPU area.

The case only comes with a 330W power supply, which I would up to the 380W (runs like a 425W).

For a mini tower, it doesn't look too shabby,..but YMMV.

Yep that side fan is really nice, as well as the front fan mounts with integral filter.

I like the Antec cases. Probably what I'll use for every box I build from now til who knows when

Antec is good.

My personal favorite is Lian-Li.

Gotta agree, Antec is the way to go. They might be bulky, but you'll grow some muscles hauling that beast to lan parites. After about 10 trips I got used to mine. the temperature control in thier cases is second to none.

See if you can find one with a compass.

Antec makes a great case and they have good air flow.
