So I want to build a machine that is smaller then my NZXT Gamma.
It would have to support a full size video card (6850 size) and not much else.
Single Storage Drive (SSD), Intel CPU on stock cooler size, and a MicroATX board.
Here is one build idea: http://i.imgur.com/Hk0af.png
I would intend to pay much less than shown there by about 10-20% for those parts.
My biggest thing is the case though, and really what I'm most interested in. The Fractal 1000
is $47 shipped, and it just seems pricey when cases like this are the same price or less:

Any opinions on other small cases?
