I was think about building a new computer early next year, I am going to use it as a media server. it would look so cool if it was a fish tank instead of a plain case.

Sorry to hear about Puget, I really wanted a case.
As far as size I have not bought any components yet so either works for me. (Edit Sorry I was checking out the Puget cases, would need the mATX one to get the look that I am going for)
