Hi. I'm new and I kinda lost here. I hope this is right place for my questions.
I had a slim desktop with microATX AMD motherboard, but my flexATX PSU is broken now, and new is hard to find, so I decided to build a completely new big main PC, and this old one transform to an upgradeable HTPC.
So I need a case. I am looking for a very upgradeable full-desktop (or some tower that can be used when put down horizontally) case for gaming and mediacenter needs with such things:
I like SilverStone's GD and LC series, especially GD05. And Lian Li PC-C50, and Zalman HD501.
1. Will they completely satisfy my needs?
2. Do you know anything else that fits in these criterias?
3. Any recommendations on a PSU wattage that will be enough for at least a few years? And I am thinking about modular one, will it help to avoid the cords mess in small case?

- microATX mobo compatible
- height - 19cm and lower (so I can put it in the TV stand)
- at least 2 full-heigh expansion slots (possibility of 2 big cards in SLI or crossfire would be great)
- possibility to put in cards up to gtx 670, and maybe even bigger cards
- standard ATX PSU (cause it is impossible in my country to find any FlexATX or SFX with more than 300W)
- good cooling and air flow for cpu, hdd, graphics (or a possibility to build good cooling system inside, if needed)
I like SilverStone's GD and LC series, especially GD05. And Lian Li PC-C50, and Zalman HD501.
