modifying PC case for A4000

I'm thinking of buying this PC case:
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=19

it looks cool, but might be too small for A4000D, what do you think?

Well.. It might be worth your while going to a place that sells those with a tape measure in your hand.

More often than not, you'll at least lose some mass storage mounting positions when you install an Amiga motherboard into a small case.

Even if it is the right size physically it's going to require a lot of metal working to get it to work well.

This case is not small. Actually it's quite big.

Built few machines with it. What I dislike:

- Big, curvy front panel adds few cm in depth
- Not standard ATX PSU

3.5" drive cage could interfere with Zorro riser.
