I need a good computer case that is under 18 inches tall. These are all under 18 inches tall. Could anyone tell me which one is better? Or recommend a different case? I want a case that I can fit upgrades, like running 2 graphics cards. Thanks.

For that corsair, it says that its 18.5 inches tall with the feet, but a picture shows it as 17.7 inches tall. Are the 'feet' things not pictured or were the measurements in the picture from above the two plastic bases and up?

Two more questions: its only going to have about .5 inches of ventilation space above it in the nook I'm putting it in, with only a couple inches on either side. Do you think this will cause it to overheat? And could you fit water cooling in it?

The case comes with a front intake and rear exhaust fan already installed. See how that works for you. If the CPU/GPU run hot, then I would add another front intake. I assume it will be alright with the 2 stock fans though. Make sure you have them spinning at max speed.
