Guys, I'm looking for a small, light and cheap casing that can fit a 9" graphics card. Emphasis on the small and cheap. What choices do I have? Was previously looking at a Cooler Master Elite 360 but then I did some research and found out that it cannot fit my Palit 9600GT. Thanks! biggrin.gif

What is your budget?? a 9600GT isn't actually a very long GPU... Maybe the elite 343?? the HDD cage can be removed...  smile.gif

Well of the same size, maybe something from Thermaltake A30 or Silverstone Sugo series but they're pricey compared to the CM elites

Wow, so it's either a sub RM100 casing or a above RM300 casing? tongue.gif nothing in between?

Not that I have seen, nope.. unless u wanna go and look at brands that are not so famous like powerlogic or sharkoon then its a different matter... although I don't see it on pricelists as often so its kinda hard to recommend something not well known

Alright then. Thanks for the help rclxms.gif

Silverstone Precision PS08 - RM129 smile.gif

Thanks! biggrin.gif but I presume it would be rather impossible to get something with a rear fan of at least 120mm? Kinda hard to find a quiet 92mm fan :/ trying to go for a quiet and small rig.
