searching for a E-ATX case

[CaptainChaos025]

Hello,

im looking far case that is small, but that can hold a E-ATX motherboard anda 180mm psu. it also needs to look calm, and not too many lines and forms. just something good and basic but also cool. my budget is about €75. with small i mean a case that is small (size) but good enough for air, would like it to be a mid-tower and anything smaller. (and if possible a place for 5.25")

What's your budget for the case?

Could you define small as well?

Generally speaking, E-ATX and "small" do not go hand in hand. However,

The Fractal Design Define R6 at $150 fits this criteria. If that's a bit too much of a pill to swallow, the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG could also do the job.

The pro m will not hold a very large E-atx (264mm max) so you need to check the length of your motherboard(mines 272mm wide). The r6 is what I'm going to switch to, since its the only thing that ticked all the boxes for me. Using the corsair 400c right now.

E-ATX is like the "Large fans" of the late 200's (180mm/200mm/230mm) where no one can pick a standard size to stick with!  And technically "true" eATX is 12"x13" (330mm) so it's technically even worse!

It's aggrevating because I wanted the pro m  If I could do a do over I would not have gotten eatx. REGRET

yea...150 is a bit too much. anything good for under €70?

Couldnt find anything under 70... At 80 you have the Corsair 400C, The Enthoo Pro M (original, so no TG) and the P400 (which of the three will perform the worst for air cooling)
