SFF Case Suggestions?

[LambChopSupreme]

Hi guys! I'm planning to build a new rig, both for gaming (Warframe, some AAA games) and productivity (Engineering stuff, photoshop, etc). Although, productivity is more important to me than gaming. I'm looking for suggestions on the cheapest mITX case (less than $150) that can be hand-carried on a plane, and has support for at least one 3.5" HDD, and at least a modular SFX (or better yet, SFX-L) PSU. Any suggestions?

 

PS. DIY cases are not possible since I don't have the right tools, and also I'm not good enough for that yet.

 

Thanks!

Raijintek metis plus? 190 x 277 x 254 mm With sfx-psu you should be able to fit a bit longer gpu and that case takes tower coolers up to 160mm tall.

The 3,5" HDD is a Problem. Without that there is a nice Silverstone Case.

But with that, the RVZ-01, ML-07 could be an option.

 

w/o the 3,5" Drive the ML-08 would be a good thing.

Best small case of all time is the NCase M1 which was initially a crowd funded project.  I built a set up for my daughter a couple of years ago.  It's more expensive than your price point but worth every penny.
