I'm looking into building a PC for my parents. It won't have to be very powerful, so I'm not terribly worried about sound-proofing or extreme airflow. What I am worried about is the fact that they have 5 cats, a dog, and occasionally small children running around with scary cups of juice. So, anybody have a good suggestion for a case that is dust proof and hard to spill liquids into the components? Thanks for any help!

NZXT has cases that have angular tops so you couldn't set a drink on it.  Limits the chance of something spilling on it.

Yeah, that's something I need to keep in mind. My younger brother and mom might do that. So either angled top or closed top. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

The Node 304 has no top vents and probably isnt going to get knocked over easily

I love the 304, but it wouldn't work out for them. No optical drive. Would be nice to build it with an APU on an FM2 m-itx board, though. Thanks!

so you get an external dvd drive not a big problem. Silverstone is/was supposed to come out with a dust/spill proof case, but it's a full tower.

I know it's not a big problem, but I want to make everything easier and less frustrating for them. I think you're referring to Silverstone's Mammoth case. MM01? I saw video on it, but haven't heard anything about it in awhile. But yeah, that would be pretty ideal for them if it ever comes out.

Yeah I meant the mmo1, too bad slverstone is really behind this year they promised almost everything from computex would be out by late Q1 or early Q2.
