In today's world of ultra mobility, technology companies seem almost uniformly focused on developing smaller components designed to accompany us just about everywhere. Remember the early mobile phones? For those of us old enough to remember, the first commercially available cell phone came out in 1983 - the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x. It weighed in at a hefty 28 ounces and measured 13' x 1.75' x 3.5'. Talk time was about 30 minutes, it took roughly 10 hours to recharge, and could go a whole 8 hours between between charges! And by the way, this 'little' beauty could be purchased for just shy of $4,000 U.S. when it hit the market on March 6th, 1983. What a bargain!

What the heck does this have to do with computer cases, you ask? Well think about cell phones today - so tiny that we end up spending about half our lives trying to find them! A far cry from the giant brick released back in the days when an awesome little band called 'Journey' ruled the world and Steve Perry was King. In an age where smaller is better (at least for technology!), it's interesting to see the ongoing evolution of computer cases where once again 'big' seems to be making a comeback. Case in point (pun intentional), the Tagan A+ CS-Monolith 'Super Tower' case.
