I crammed my ATX system into one of these to make it portable to Uni this year, it's small enough to comfortably carry and light because it's Aluminium. Bit of a squeeze with some components though, I have a 7800GT which touches the back of my power supply, and to get the drive cage out the PSU has to come out first. Couple of pics:

Lian Li V600 is fairly small, very light and is a good shape to carry under your arm.

I like the inside of your small PC, a 7800GT too, impressive

may i ask, whats the point of small cases etc? :confused:

i have a thermaltake armour and its huge. nice and big and lots of room inside.
i could have a BBQ inside the armour case and still have space to store a few Pints.

nice job with the small case fitting the 7800gtx tho. i have a 7800gtx and its as long as.. well, long,

i cant even emagine how long a 8800 is

Not everybody likes a huge christmas tree 365 days of the year and they are easily portable. Also due to the smaller capacity they require less airflow to 'refresh' the air inside the case meaning you can have slower, quieter fans

Oh, and I can fit 8800GTX SLi in my G50B
