Hey guys, What are those Small Pc's called... the ones that MSI and SHUTTLE made? MicroATX form? I am interested in building my own.. But i don't know what to search on to find case's like that.

Also, are there certain motherboards just for that? called MICROATX?

Thanks,

Look at Newegg, I'm certain there's a Micro ATX case there that would suit both your current and future needs better than these SFF cases, which are Flex ATX.

I think you can buy a PIII 500 complete system locally for less than the cost of an SFF chassis, and get all the performance you need for such tasks, in a dictionary-sized unit that still has 2 PCI slots.
