Default Smaller form case that will fit 4850x2?

Heya,

Wondering if there are any reasonably priced (sub-$100) smaller cases that would fit a Gigabyte P35-DS3L (not a big board at all) with a couple hard drives (2, 3 max) and a single DVD player.

Main problem.. of course.. is the 4850x2. That rules out the small form factor cases that come with a small form power supply - it needs to fit a normal size.

Right now my girlfriend's PC (E8400 w/ a 4850x2 and a Corsair 750) is in an Antec 900... which is a fantastic case, but she goes to visit her parents every couple months for a week or two at a time, and that thing is just unreasonable to lug that far.

Cooling only needs to be *adequate* not amazing - I dropped the overclocks on the CPU and the GPU when I gave her the PC, she does not need to be bothered with that and it runs everything we play just fine.

Any advice? I know these specs are easy to 'search' for, but I'm curious about personal experience. Doesn't matter if it's heavy, it's going to be heavy anyway, and I'm the one who carries it around so that's alright - just needs to be smaller than her 900!


Thanks a ton!
