Buy a good quality case .

Size wont matter as much as good lay out and cooling

Yeah the size of the case wont matter. It's pretty much preference at this point. I would stay away from the Antec 900 as it's a squeeze to work with. Just look for an open case if you dont really care.

That second case is as big as most of the "big" cases, and none of these are actually full towers. The "full towers" have been mislabeled, they're just "extra large" mid-towers.

The Inwin design works fairly well for its compact size, but there's no way the case is worth that much money. If you're interested in that size and general layout, consider less-expensive Inwin models.

hmm.. I don't really need a compact computer, I have a lot of room to put my computer. Right now I'm thinking of getting http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811233013 . It's pretty big and seems sturdy, it looks nice too. I'm just wondering if it is right for the parts I'm getting.

and I still haven't gotten any comments/help on my build.

It's a nice case...is that helpful enough?
