I'm going to assemble an audio-only PC. I'm looking around for cases right now, and the size of the tiny Shuttle cases is appealing. The big drawback is that you only get one expansion slot, so you're out of space after inserting the audio card. However, with the size of these cases, it could almost function as a portable studio or be thrown in a backpack for an easy setup at live shows.
Is there any other reason to stay away from a case like this except for only having one expansion slot? The power supply looks smaller than a lot of supplies that I see on system descriptions (it's only 200 W), but maybe that's all you need with one slot.
For an example of the case (although they have their own complete system listed in the specs), see

Thanks.
