Yes, I guess you're right.

You see, this is going to be my main PC. So, there are few things I am trying to consider.

I have some HDD removable tray I'd like to install - I have two, but one is enough -, and I have a memory card readers / port replicator panel I'd like to use mostly for the mem cards. It's true that with eSata the HDD tray is getting obsolete as a concept, probably, but still...

And, I hate to say, I may even want to install an old floppy reader, just in case. I found out there's no floppy reader actually working in my home anymore, but unfortunately I had a couple of occasions when I needed to read old flopplies friends gave me - crazy; they're hard to die. So, rather than having to dig our an old usb-based floppy reader, I'd probably prefer to have one installed in the case.

Also, should I want to use this as a secondary htpc, i may like a VFD display or something, in there.

Finally, I am considering connecting my Yamaha keyboard to this, which means I may be getting a good soundcard with inputs on a 5" front panel.

So, all considered, I would not mind having some 5" bay available, just in case.

One thing this PC is surely not doing, is storage. I have been running a server devoted to that for more than 10 years now, and so music, pictures, videos, docs, are somewhere else.

This PC will mostly be used to run software of all sorts, possibly play videogames, certainly a lot of web browsing, some personal office-style work, and finally a lot of music grabbing from CD to MP3 or else. And, I am planning to take it with me to some LAN parties, so while it can't be as small as I'd ideally like, it shouldn't even be bigger than needed.

Lian-li is slightly smaller than the Coolermaster, but not that much... Mmm...
