The goal is to put a diamond radeon hd 7970 into a microATX computer that is portable enough to transport on a 5+ times a month basis(most likely even more). We also want to be able to fit a COOLER MASTER GeminII S524 120mm into it.

We have everything except a good case. The tower we are looking for needs to be as small as possible, but will not cause trouble with the hardware and will hopefully not give too much hassle to install it either. Also, it needs to be the best! The only thing I really could find is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352008. Unfortunately, the only way we can get it is online, and that is not currently an option(I tried to convince otherwise but they have their reasons).

Hopefully this isn't asking for too much but perhaps you gogers could help me find such a case. Thanks!

That looks like a great case to me... I would work on your mates reluctance to buy online if I were you... I don't know what it's like in the US, but over here you'd be seriously limiting yourself if you didn't buy computer bits online!

Not buying online is silly. There are way more customer safeguards in place than there were 10 or 15 years ago, to the point where now you are just as likely to have your CC information pilfered from a fuel station as you are online. That looks like a good case. You mainly want enough airflow to cool, looks like you will get it there.

Where are you getting your other parts, if you're not ordering online? I'd check with that shop/those shops and see if they can order that case in for you, or possibly suggest an alternative.

As has been noted though, this reluctance (if that's what it is) to order online is foolish.

In reply to everyone, I must agree haha. We COULD order that case online. We just haven't chose to do so yet. The computer is actually a gift :) and we don't want to risk being too late or possibly getting a defective case and having to send it back + wait longer. We hope to get it finished ASAP. Our current choice is to get another good case(based off reviews) from our local compy store. Which is what I meant to ask about XD. I will continue to tell them to order that fractal design but I think we are going to get this instead(from the store): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108236&Tpk=dragon%20slayer . What do yall think?

BTW Thanks again :).

Well that makes sense... ;)

The insides of the Dragon Slayer look alright to me, but I'm not mad on the looks myself...
