Slim Micro-ATX Cases?

Hi,

 

I'm looking to build a cheap office PC, in as small a form factor as possible. For the AM4 socket, Mini-ITX boards are well over twice the price of Micro-ATX boards, so I'm forced to go with the latter. Does anyone have any recommendations of slim mico-ATX cases? I do NOT need space for a gpu at all.

 

The Inwin BK series looks good, however it is not available in the UK. Please give me any suggestions, but ideally a price under £50 would be nice. Thanks!

I highly suggest you spend a wee bit more and spring for an ITX board, mostly because you can have a NUC-sized Ryzen build and it'll be smaller than any mATX case you can find.

I'd suggest intel because they have integrated graphics.

Think the new H370 boards should come out next month/early march.

Check out the Fractal Design Focus G Mini. I have one and it's good enough for the price :)

Look into HTPC cases. You can get extremely thin cases from silverstone usually
