What's a good case for an pc in the glove box?
 
I have everything for my car computer going, but it's not in a case yet. I would like to get a small desktop style case that I can put in the glove box. I saw a photo someone had posted of a very nice looking case, it looked like a shuttle brand case.

I am using an ATX motherboard and a 3.5 inch HD. I know some of you guys picked up mini itx or micro atx case/board combos. But I already had this hardware and its plenty fast. I would hate to but new hardware, I just want a decent looking case that will fit nicely in the glove box.

So what are you guys using?

I think the one I saw was this one http://mini-itx.com/store/tranquilpc.asp

It's really cool, but it's about $900 US. I can't really afford that because I just droped $7k on the greddy kit. Mabye I'll just fab my own case out of plexiglass. I can't find anything out there that will work for a reasonable price.

that case wont work. its made for a miniATX/epia. same as what you see most people using. if you want a full sized ATX board, you need to custom build it. be careful about heat.

I build mine in an open design, there are photos floating around in here. mesh case so air could freely flow.

of course Ive yet to hook it up. still not sure how I want to do it.
