Looking for small ATX case

Have you seen the Coolermaster Elite 360 not sure if its still on sale anymore though, alternatively I think Silverstone do some HTPC cases that fix full size ATX boards, take a look at their case range, although they would vary in price some being fairly budget friendly others equaling that Lian Li price tag I suspect.

Not terribly sure then, theres always small standard midi cases like the Bitfenix Shinobi at 205 x 460 x 490 mm (according to Bitfenix website) its not a great deal bigger but if its not suitable then thats an issue.

Honestly that Lian Li one is the first tower ATX case Ive seen designed like that, and with that in mind I can't really help much more other than saying perhaps look through Silverstones catalog of cases, they seam to have a very large amount of different from normal case designs (motherboards flipped over etc) and might have something to fit your needs.

the node 605 and coolermaster 361 are quite small but will not fit a hyper 212, maybe you could consider another cooler.

I have a bitfenix shinobi and I find it too big. I am seriously considering changing it since i move my comp a lot.

the node 605 would is my first choice my second beeing biting the bullet and getting sg05.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

TJ08B-E is an mATX case.

Also, I already have the hyper 212, I've been using it for a while, I was hoping to just rip out all of my stuff from my old crappy case and put it in a new one.

the hyper 212 is like 20$ so it s not that bad to replace it and if you want small, it s going to be a relatively thin case (bye tower cooler) or smaller by way of motherboard size.

27liters is about az small as you can get with an atx board. (node 605 sr cm 361)

after that you can only get smaller with a smaller mobo.

if you want a more portable case , maybe you can consider a haf xb, it s big as heck at 60liters but it can fit atx, tower cooler long psu and all.

it has handles on it sides ao it is supposed to be easy to transport but i do not own one so don t quote me on that.

if you just want a clean looking case maybe you could look at the define r4, again it is bigger.

SilverStone Temjin Series TJ08B-E (1x 180 front fan) or

SilverStone SST-PS07B (2x 120 front fans)

if I already didn't have a FD Arc Mini, i'd be on one of these.

isn t the arc mini about the same size as the regular arc?

the shinobi got awful fans filters btw,

the msi tc128 is quite a bit smaler than the shinobi if size is the only concern.
