Smallest E-ATX Case available

[zack96]

Hi guys

 

Can someone recommend the Smallest E-ATX which must have a 5.25 bay (for my BDR Drive) & a windowed side panel that will house my

MAXIMUS IV EXTREME-Z

 

the motherboard is 

12 inch x 10.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 26.9 cm )

 

I bought the Thermaltake core v51 

but it's huge and takes up too much desk space

 

Then I was told to get the Inwin 101(really nice looking case) which was a ATX case but would take a EXTREME-Z motherboard but it didnt have a 5.25 bay

 

Now I was looking at the MasterBox MB600L which is a ATX case but I don't see what max size motherboard it will take.

 

Can someone please help me find a Case for this motherboard. I would like one that's close to looking like the Inwin 101.

 

Must Have

 

Side Glass Panel (tempered if possible)

5.25 bay

Small as you can quantumly get

 

Thanks 

PS

I live in the UK

Corsair 750D will hold an eATX board, I think that's really the smallest you can go while still fitting your criteria.

 

Unless you want to modify an existing case, that is.

Thank you for quick reply unfortunately that case costs £130.00 in the UK

 

I was looking at getting a 5.25 USB Enclosure but even they cost £50

It's it possible to modify the Inwin 101 to house a 5.25 bay.

With some doing, it would be possible. Not sure if it would be worth the time and effort, though.

Enthoo Pro M TG would fit your needs

In win 101 - 45L

Enthoo Pro M TG - 56L

Core V51- 72L

 

So it's a nice middle ground space wise in between the two cases size wise, plus it comes with a 5.25" bay
