Micro-ATX CASE!

[Redfern]

Hi, please please please can you recommend some nice compact micro-atx cases that look really nice. I know it personal preference but help me out, thanks

 

Also what do you think on the Bitfenix Pandora and should I wait until the new ATX one?

You won't find anything as compact.

no offence, but ewwww. That front panel is a boner killer. How about the 350d?

gorgeous, but very fiddly and very difficult to mod, if you even want that. For expandability and customisation I can't tell you how much love I feel for the corsair 350d and air 240.

had it and not a "great" case, got out of the 350D into the amr2. 350d is not

watercooling friendly for SLI and poop in airflow.

+1 on the Arc Mini. I have a 400W system in mine and it is silent.

I'm currently in an N200 & love it!

I had an SG10 and it is really nice and small, but holy crap is it a pain in the butt to replace parts in.  I switched to the bigger Fractal Node 804, and used the Silverstone for my brother's PC.

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv looks great but seems to lack a bit of airflow. Also the Enthoo Pro M looks nice and has tons of features and will fit an atx board if needed.

yeah, gotta admit AF and water cooling is pretty Kak, but if you remove the front 5.25" bays you can get a triple 140mm rad in there and a 2-3 140 rad in the top. I just think aesthetically speaking the 350d trumps it.

[airdeano]

removing the 5.25 bays means permanent chassis modification for the 350d.

a 420x30 radiator (mod) vs a 360x60 (native) can be a dealbreaker for most.

 

as to aesthetics, both have a aluminum finish (albeit 350d has a ally panel), but

the amr2 has monster airflow and is smaller with more potential.

Airflow?

Thermaltake core series, v21 if you want a cube case.
