Antec Readying Mini Skeleton 90
Case, power and cooling specialist Antec just shrunk the Skeleton enthusiast-grade bench chassis, just about enough to fit the Mini-ITX motherboard form factor, which is what makes the Mini Skeleton 90 surprising. The chassis retains the "picnic-basket" bench design the Skeleton has, measuring 210 (W) × 230 (D) × 190 (H) mm, and tipping the scales at around 2.5 kg.
A two-stage drawer holds the motherboard on the top stage which is cooled by a large LED-lit 150 mm fan, and the lower stage holding the disk drives and power supply. The chassis holds one 5.25-inch drive using a quick-release drive bay. There is one quick-release and two fixed 2.5-inch (yes, 2.5-inch) drive bays. Apart from the 150 mm fan on top, there is a 70 mm fan to cool the lower stage. Standard front-panel headers such as USB and audio are also present. The case is backed by a 3-year company warranty. Its price in the US is yet to be known.

The reason case mfgrs are using the big fans is twofold, 1-bigger "looks" better to the average shopper... and 2- Bigger fans spin slower which makes less noise..
Thats all fine and dandy but there is more to consider then those 2 things.
And to your comment you arent a noob,, I tend to think you give yourself more importance than you deserve. Attacking both of us is kind of silly. Obviously TK and I disagree but we are civil about it.
