Couple of questions. You need a monitor and Windows OS? Just checking. Small tower - midsize OK, or are you looking for a mini?

Yea need monitor and Windows OS. I want a case that can be moved easy to partys and stuff. Doesn't have to be a dedicated lan case.

cool thanks looks like a great build ill check and maybe change a little bit of it.

Thanks - check it over good since I am tired. That case is a beauty, btw. Mobo tray makes for a simple build in a small case and modular power supply keeps it clean inside.
