Suitable Desktop Case

Suitable Desktop Case?
My friend wanted to build a new desktop system because the price of laptops in Malaysia is way to expensive that some of it didn't come with the spec that he wanted. He asked for my help to find if there is any type of desktop cases which are small and portable that can be fitted with desktop system for playing games(not a hardcore gamers),surfing internet and etc. I already search through the internet and I couldn't find it. The specs are: 1) AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE 2) Gigabyte Motherboard 3) Kingston DDR3 RAM 4) Sapphire HD 5770 1Gb Vapor-X 5) Western Digital 500Gb HDD If we build a desktop system with AMD processor and Nvidia graphic card, will it be any compatible issues?

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154071 Even has a handle for easy carrying. The case is small, so it only fits a mATX motherboard. I don't see any problems with your parts. Just make sure you have a decent AM3 motherboard. I'd suggest either the 770 chipset (cheaper) or the 870 chipset (more features, more expensive). If you were to use a single Nvidia graphics card with an AMD system, there would be no problem. However, if you had a board that has SLI support and you were to try to use 2 Nvidia cards in SLI, you'll probably get some sort of issue. AMD motherboards and SLI haven't really worked out too well. EDIT: Your friend is in Malaysia, but you didn't say what country you were in, so I gave you a Newegg (USA) link. Just search for the case at whatever site you need to use if you're not in the US
