...for newbies 1st build. I want the smaller foot print for desktop positioning so quietness is a factor. I've seen a couple htcp's and a couple super-mini towers. I only need 3 external bays,-two 5.25 and one can be 5.25 or 3.5-, and 2 internal 3.5's. Use for the externals will be, dvd all-in-1, card reader, and system monitor (unless the case comes with 1 of these components). Something with a door to hide the externals (and possibly front ports), or 1 dvd door of a finish that the other externals can be readily matched to.
Less than the 17"-18" depth that i've seen would be a +. Adequate cooling. I can upgrade the stock cpu cooler if need be. No gaming. No oc'ing. No advanced video unless I need a card for hd monitor.
Budget = Up to $200usd if it rocks my world.
My little multitasker:

Athlon II x3 3.0ghz
HDD = 1X500gb 7200 + 1X 60gb
DDR3 4gb 1600mh
1 x DVD all-in-1
