Well, I checked out the tower cases on my last "recasing binge".  Even
went to a local business computer show just to look inside of one.
The way they are designed, the motherboard sits on its side-edge on the
bottom of the case.  I can't remember where the power supply sits, but
the drives are at the top.  I don't think there is enough vertical room
for both the motherboard and what I consider a "good" set of drives (2
3.5 inchers with a drive B switchable with a 5.25 inch drive, and at
least one HD).

Of course, if you would like to buy me a case so I could experiment
with it, I'll send you my address.   :^)
