    What is the smallest case one can get?

    Just thinking of building my own comp but everything has to be small, ie small case, small tft/lcd, small keyboard you know...
    I have seen small enough dell ones, but they still are too big.

    Any help?

    Well there are Small Form Factor Pc's, they are about the size of a shoe box :). They do limit you thoug, they usually have 1 pci slot and 1 Agp/Pcix slot. You will also only fit one cd/dvd drive into them.

    There is a pic.
    If you wanted to build a desktop pc then there are a few small cases you could get. I have the Antec Super Lanboy which is a lot smaller than most cases.

    Actually just had another idea :). There is a fairly new product on the market called a Q-Pack. I built a system in one a few days ago. I put a normal Mobo into the one i built, they can be hard to work on but once its all in its grand :). Has a coold handle to carry it around to.

    Breadbox. microATX motherboard, and a microATX PSU. Limited power, but what would you be using it for? You can build using anything from biscuit tins to fridges. Depends on how far your budget can go.
