I'm looking for a computer case that has a form factor similar to that of a console ( although it can be a bit bigger), and can accomadate a regular sized gtx 550ti graphics card, for any price below 100 bucks. I'm looking to do a sort of custom steam box sort of build. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I guess what you're thinking of is something like the Alienware X51 but I think that unless you get it from them you can't get a case like that but I could be wrong.

As for other SFF cases they're taller but not as wide due to the different layout. The smallest is probably the Silverstone SG05 and the similar SG06. They're a little over your budget but do come with a decent PSU so you save the extra money there unless you already have one you want to use. The downside is that it only fits SFX power supplies and slim optical drives but since it comes with power supplies and a slim optical is still pretty cheap it may not be an issue.

The other small option is the Coolermaster Elite 120 which is cheaper ($50 on newegg) similar in length and width but deeper. It can fit in full sized PSUs and optical drives so you can use existing stuff easier and you can fit in more 3.5" devices if you need the storage,

Thanks, those are some great options you've listed
