Re: [PLUG] Computer Case recommendations?
|
I haven't actually got around to building a new box myself yet, but when
I'm dreaming about it www.tomshardware.com is a great site for
information and reviews on both old and new components (motherboards,
cases and everything else). They also have a section specifically aimed
at building your own box.
And this plan looks like it would give you a pretty cool machine (in
both senses), though it might not be as small as you're looking for:
http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/12/your_diy_gaming_rig_for_720/
The site also reviews and recommends lots of MiniATX and MicroATX cases
that might be more appropriate for your requirements.
HTH.
