Low profile mini-atx FF cases

callan · 21st August 2004, 8:03 AM

I'm now about to replace my wife's and my own systems, and are going through my "SFF period"

On a recent visit to the 'States, I had the pleasure of visiting a "FRY's" computer shop in Vegas - MAN that place is nirvana!!!
A shop the size of a football field, with cheap software, rows and rows of cases, mobo's, modding kits CPU's, video cards..

One dangerous shop..

Anyway, they had the usual shuttle SFF fare, and some multi-media (home media appliance)-style cases, but they ALSO had some very pretty LOW profile SFF barebones systems, with reflective fronts (with blue and/or brick-red tinted crystal acrylic covers) that were about 2/3 the height of the shutle cases. Room for 2 internal disks, and 1x5.25" device (presumably a DVD burner/etc.)

I have not seen the like here in Australia.

Do they exist????

(If not, what's the closest anyone has seen)

Ooroo

Maybe the ITX form factor?

Soldam had some really nice cases, before they went all xenophobe and stopped shipping their lineup overseas and removed anything remotely attractive from the english page.

Like this specimen for example:
