Cool. Yeah, I can definitely see how your case is perfect for your uses. I would also want something that small for LAN parties. But since I don't attend any of those (I suck at FPS's and don't really own any other type of multiplayer games), I don't need to carry it much.

The only issue now is noise. Computer noise has never been much of an issue to me. At school I have an emormous 8 year old office-sized laserjet printer (my dad's office was going to throw it away, I took it ), and that sounds like a 777 it's self. I also had my Dell's cover off for about a month and it was quite noisy like that.

My excitement for my new case will outweigh any noise that bothers me

As I said, I think if I go with a RAID of any kind, then I will definitely buy an IDE RAID card. That would probably simplify things a lot.
