are there any slimline cases available (such as the Dell Dimension 4000C - only as an example as 'slimline' can be interpreted as anything.. smaller the better really but no bigger than that^) ... anyway are there any which could house this system..

AMD 2400+/2500+
Asus A7V8X-X
Radeon 9200 256mb (not pro)
120 GB hd (western digital)
CDRW/DVD
Floppy drive
512mb DDR ram

also i would like to have space for another hard drive if possible, aswell as a Wi-fi PCI card and possible TV card (2 or 3 PCI slots atleast)

i dont need space for more than one floppy or Cd-like drive, and dont need a 56k modem.

is it possible to fit this system into a slimline case.. whilst having an adequate PSU and cooling.

would i need a different Mobo to fit into the case or would that one (asus^) be ok?

preferably i would like a modern-looking case (not too dull, 100% beige or boxy), with no 'side windows', a few spaces for fans would be nice but i dont need loads (i hope)

also USB 2.0 and audio in & out at front would be great.

i haven't purchased any of this system as yet^^ so any alterations to fit the system into the smaller case.. or for any other reason, would be welcomed.

Also where is a good place to buy cases (eg well laid out site, good prices).. how much would a case like this cost also?

thank you in advance!!
