Hello,

I'm looking for a nice slim case for my gaming setup.

MicroATX board, and a GTX 280.
I've been looking at the GT3 case which is super cool, but my GFX doesn't fit, and it doesn't use a regular ATX power supply.

Can you suggest any nice case for this purpose -- as thin (using a riser card) and light as possible

Thank you!

Best regards,
Daniel

That is a fairly big card, no way itll fit, plus, small cases is bad airflow and is not good for cards like that.

^Agreed. It's a Bad Idea to put a hot running card like a GTX280 on a slim/HTPC case.

Slim cases are not suited for gaming rigs.
You need a mid/full tower case with excellent airflow for those parts.

Agree here. Slimline Case and Gaming Case are 2 completely different things, and one is not at all suited for the other.
