I am going to build a gaming quiet computer. I am either going to get a 8800GTS (in which case I'd get an Antec Solo) or a 8800GTX.
I do not want to do any cutting/modifying of the case, no matter how minor.
What would be the best alternative to the SOLO to fit a 8800GTX? I am really only interested in steal cases, and it must be simple and attractive.
Thanks!

The obvious choice is an Antec P182. Remove the upper HDD bay, and 8800GTX is no problem to fit.

On the cheaper side, how about an NSK6500, it seems a bit bigger than the Solo. It might be enough.

Yup, with the HDD cage removed, a long vidcard will fit... but then you have to devise your own HDD mounting system.
