There's one thing I don't get: why would I optimize for size to begin with?
I live in a small studio apartment together with my gf, and I still am completely happy with a giant ATX case that sits under my desk. And if I would switch it for anything, it would be a bigger case, with more space to organize everything, not a smaller one.

- dfxm12 7y agoPeople aren't always putting computers on or around their desk. It took a while to find a case that had the right fit in my old TV stand/entertainment center. Size was part of it, but so was shape. Anything in the shape of a cube or mini tower wouldn't fit. I needed a pizza box shape, but not one that was too wide or too deep. Luckily, both my HTPC and entertainment centers are both due for upgrades, so at least now I can plan ahead.
