Hi everyone hope you're doing fine in this quarantine!

 

I was curious to see if there are more Atx case that take advantage of vertical SSD and Nvme mounting to get rid of the HDD bay to deliver a more compact factor.

one of the smaller full-featured Atx case is the Fractal Define S, and in red is the empty space for the HDDs. but the Define C simply cuts it away, while still leaving 315mm of space for a GPU.

 

Do you have any models that follow this trend? (ATX, not Micro) there does not seem to be a lot of new case model in the past year (ie: to take advantage of newer Front I/O standards like 3.2 not that I care that much)

 

Thanks!

Special thanks to Fractal Design website for changing the order of the measurements between each case to make comparing cases harder than it already is

So, to be clear, you're just looking for Compact ATX cases? Or do they need to have Zero 3.5" drive bays?

Compact cases!
 

I don’t mind if they have drive bays (maybe they need to move them in a different spot to prevent taking up space or block the airflow, but since I will be using Nvme and SSD anyway I don’t have needs for it)

Corsair 220T and Phantkes P300A are the two that come to mind immediately that are like a Define C or Meshify C.
