Be careful, most Micro-ATX will not house standard size motherboards. your
best bet is to purchase IN-WIN or ENLITE mini/mid tower case. both have
solid good point and no detractions, choosing between the two is strictly a
matter of builder preference. Anyone in Computer Shopper, etc should carry
these at a reasonable price.

Hmmm, basically same here. I did a job for a customer using his Tiger parts,
had a bad CPU (the only bad CPU I have encountered in three years of
building), they refused to warranty it, made me contact the supplier, I
spent countless hours on hold over three days, they always took a number and
said "You will get a call back in 24 hours"...What, I am supposed to wait
hostage by my phone for the next 24 hrs and "hope" they call....yup, thats
how it worked....grrrrrrr
