planning to build a mini-atx that is horrizontal..

reason why: easier to carry around
size: able to support ATX mobo, ATX PSU and of course an hd4870x2 or longer yawn.gif
material : definately light aluminium and acylric

so far the measurements i've taken

Width : 360mm (36cm) [the width is wide just in case]
Length: 500mm (50cm) [to support a HD4870x2, and the following DVD Drives]
Height: 350mm (35cm) [double layer to separate the PSU and mobo in the upper layer and maybe put the hard disks in the bottom layer and the first layer must be tall enough to fit a TRUE]

note: measurements are taken horizontally

cooling : i dont plan on fitting a water cooling gear inside.. however, planning on putting loads of 120mm fan LED inside

inspired by my old casing .. a SG01 silverstone... sadly it wont fit my gpu and psu.. and i had to sold it =(..

need any help and suggestion u guys can give =).. thnx

as for the tools.. i have some drills and dremels to use..

cost: idk, the cheaper the better..
