Hello,

I am working on a good build, but I dont know that much about cases.  I dont have a whole lot of space for full towers. 

My space dimensions are:

10"Wx20"Hx18"D

I want to get the best performing case I can that will fit in my available space.  Thanks!

p.s. computer build is looking like a typical I7 processor and mobo w/ 2xpcie, gtx 480 gpu, 2x hdd, 1x blue ray.

Sounds like you're planning on putting your tower in a very enclosed space. If you plan on doing some intense gaming you may want to find a spot where it can breath better if at all possible. Just google the case you might like & I'm sure you'll find the dimensions.

That depth is gonna kill you. You're not going to get a standard form factor case that will accommodate a modern video card at 10.5-12 inches along with drive bays, etc.
 
Otherwise, the HAF 922 is what DS has for you. 19.76 high, 9.965 wide, 22.17 deep.
 
What Sikboy said is very important. The best case in the world won't help you if it can't breath. Do NOT close it in! What you'll end up with is an Easy Bake Oven. What you want to do is explore ways you can put that bad boy on the floor where many of us have ours, and there's plenty of room. Then maybe you can think full tower.  Good luck.

im with sik on this one, unless you are planning to LC you really need to have room for your tower to breathe....
 
and really... even if you do lc it needs room
