Hello all.

It may be a stupid question but I have a supermicro x7dca-l motherboard with a couple of Xeon L5420's with stock coolers. I also have a recently cleaned and re-pasted GTX295 which is now running nice and cool(ish) even under load going up to a max of 87 degrees on furmark load.

Now it's all out on a shelf at the moment, motherboard and psu etc all on one shelf. The lady of the house would like it all neat and tidy and so would I. I have a rm machines server case which this fits into but I wanted to know your thoughts on what's the best way forward?

a-fit vertically as in theory it should be fine
b-buy a rackmount or desktop case which will fit a 10" by 10" board....

I will have a budget of about £100 to spend on getting it into a case but what's your thoughts please?
