The A1200 has quite a wide mobo so I use a tall case especially as I used to have an Alfa Data cd controller in the pcmcia port so needed the height.

For standard ATX cases a short tower will take roughly as much floor space as a tall tower.

What else do you have connected that you need to accommodate?

thanks.
I have a pcmcia ethernet card. iirc, amikit or someone used to sell 90deg adapter, but that would probably require too wide case then?
perhaps 180deg adapters exist. anyway those adapters aint cheap.

I also have bvision.

I don't know much about bvision but your comment about 180 degree adapters got me thinking...although expensive could two 90 degree adapters be connected to make a 180 degree one?
