I now have a much larger case (mostly taller) than I had previously. However, I also got 1.5 TB of file storage with this pc and the amount of case size to hard drive is much smaller. (i.e. I get more for not much more size, plus a lot more RAM and a faster CPU). Also, unlike a camera, I don't have to carry my pc around with me. Greg J. Lorenzo Calgary, Alberta
