That's huge.

Maybe it's a difference in terminology, around here the 42 cm high cases are
refered to as full towers, and that's what I have.

These are kinda what I'm going for.

Those are both good cases, especially the first one.

Personally though, I would recommend one of these:

Less bling and more function.

I know Asus does motherboards with built in WiFi tum-ti-tum ah here we g
o

>> Processor = Intel Core-2 Quad, 2.66

Check (confirmed elsewhere)

>> The board must support at least 4 GB of DDR2 800 memory.

8Gb DDR2 800

>> Must have at least 4 SATA-2 ports. No RAID requirements

6 SATA 3.0Gb

>> Must have at least 6, preferably more, USB-2 ports

8

Might save you a slot with built-in WiFi.

Not when Mac address filtered and with a network key. Besides, it's a home
network, not a corporate.

Never noticed so. Much better than cables running all over the place. It's
for a flat of 3 rooms, so I don't need excessive range

Seriously, the second one looks nice. Very nice.
