I have no space issues and can go with virtually any size case. But, 
getting back to the topic at hand, the main question here is what 
low-power components do I put inside that larger case? I suppose I could 
inquire whether Logic Supply would sell me the guts of that system, along 
with the power cord, which I could then mount in the case of my choice. Is 
that what you're suggesting?
