Case Question

[CWorley]

I'd like a case that sits horizontally. Can the Antec Sonata III do that? If not, does anybody have any recommendations for a case that's built to sit flat?

Thanks.

I don't think the Antec III case was built with laying flat in mind. The door might not open fully. The other thing with tower cases is that the CD/DVD may not stay in the DVD drive tray very well when loading. I don't know if it would stay in very well once it was loaded and actually spinning. Those are the only two problems I can think of. But I think you'd want a case that's designed to be flat. I don't know of any, but they may be out there.

"Desktop" style cases are those that are built to lie flat:

Either that, or go for a small form factor microATX Desktop case:
