Slimline cases

[sorethumbs]

Ok so missus won the 'Love it or hate it case' topic - its staying in the loft for whenever i need to escape up there.

So i'm on a new mini project to build a 'more discreet' missus friendly micro atx system for the bedroom. I've ordered a tbs 6981 dual sat card coming next week.
I've been looking at cases similar to this http://www.scan.co.uk/products/colors-i ... h-300w-psu - that kind of shape that i can lie low and flat.

I'm not really in position to spend megabucks on expensive cases like some of you guys have. Fairly cheap and cheerful is fine as i take it to my fathers when we visit (so can watch something other than darts) and if it gets scratched not a big deal.

So these type i been looking at say only 99mm wide (or high depending on if its flat or standing) that seems pretty small to me...
So will a tbs 6981 fit in it?
And will a gfx card such as this low profile http://www.ebuyer.com/product/255113 go in as well?

I know those items all look low profile and case is 99mm high and that card is only 69mm high so common sense would say it'll fit, but there's thickness of the case, standoffs for the board and thickness of board itself i'm not sure it'll go.

Or am i worrying over nothing

Regarding your case choice, if there is ever one overriding factor for any couple be it right or wrong (quite often wrong), it is 'she who must be obeyed' I've come to learn that over the last 7 years lol.

I like that case esp the price!!!

Those cards should fit in no problem, i presume the sat card comes with the additional brecket.

Good day folks.

I moved the tax talk to it's own thread
