Case for College

Heya all,

I am heading to college soon and want to take my computer with me. Sadly it is a full tower and is a bit to bog for a dorm room. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good medium size case to support my parts.

MoBo: Intel D865Perl
Chip: 3.0 Intel P4 with HT
Ram: 512(233 i believe) adding another 512 in about a week
Video Card: Ati Radeon X800 Xt
I also have a dvd and a cd rom, pull 2 add on cards in the pci ports.

Thank you,
rfleming

Antec Super LANBoy if weight is a concern.

Antec SLK1650 if you're just looking for a simple case.

I also nominate the Antec Super LanBoy. It's a mid-tower and as small as you can go with a full size ATX board.

I second that. It's a nice light case that doesn't take up gobs of space.
