Need help choosing a new case

This summer i'm going off to college and want to take my motherboard out of my full tower and move it into a smaller case. I have a mini-atx, however i'm having trouble choosing a mini-atx case that can fit my large cooler, the hyper 212 evo. I love the look of the corsair air 240, but I cant figure out if my cooling fan would fit. If anyone knows if my cooling fan would fit inside or if another case would work better I'd love to know. I also have a msi 270x oc edition which is 10.5 inches and might cause some problems.

 

Thanks for the help :)

That cases won't support your cooler. These cases support your cooler and gpu and look quite nice.

This one is nice CoolerMaster HaF915F

 

In this vid the 915f is the second build (look at all that space, the cooler is as big as the Board!)

 

Then there is the Thermaltake core V1 ITX       A review by Tek Syndicate
