Whoever replies I will greatly appreciate your help! I have an HP Firebird Voodoo 803, the slot drive Blu-ray DVD/RW has gone bad, a replacement cost about $150... It seems cheaper to get a whole new full tower and BR drive and just swap all the hardware.... So, what case can I use, what form factor is the HP Firebird Voodoo 803 and what are my options? I'm really thankful to all you smarter techies!!!

According to techpowerup.com, it does not appear to be a standard ATX variant.
"To get such a small design, the entire unit is custom built and appears to follow no standard layout or format, i.e ATX, BTX, etc. "

And as such, won't work in a normal case without a lot of creative work. Nothing is even a little bit standard.

Your easiest solution would be just an external BD/DVD drive.
That is the oddest case I have ever seen... I can't tell, but I'd go with a mid tower so you have support for a variety of cases. HOWEVER, it may be a custom mobo, and as such, will not fit in a case without extreme modifications(or minor). Go with a coolermaster HAF 912 for a tightish budget. Never said what a budget was...
