Hi guys..just looking for thoughts/ideas for building a gaming console on a budget.

My idea is to have something that will fit in a media center tray..not overheat easy but run games in 1080p medium to high settings..

Possible? Any ideas are welcome! Doing for fun!

Those cases I linked are all either only horizontal, or can be horizontal or vertical, and just just shown in images vertically because it gives you a better view of the case.

Give us a budget and we can see what you can afford.

HTPC cases get very expensive, you don't have the budget for nicer ones.
You may be able to find used HP/Dell office PCs that can be laid horizontally and are wide enough to support a GPu on ebay. but their motherboards won't be compatible with the latest modern GPUs.
