Looking for a mini/micro case

[paprikman]

Hi, dear community!

I wanna replace my current fractal define r4 with something smaller, since it takes just too much space.

It is packed with asus rog b360-g mobo, msi gtx 1060 and a bequiet dark rock pro, so the components do not take that much space.

 

What it is the best options available? The price doesn't really matter, but I'd like to stay under $ 200.

Thanks!

I ran a corsair 350d in my last build and liked it. Its not a super small mATX case, but its not half bad! I liked it.

And how's the build quality? I've used one of corsair's cases once and it had quite thin walls (I like to put my legs on it sometimes).

I have had a few fractal cases, their huge Define XL shotgun proof (seriously, the side panel took a shotgun blast without puncturing), a corsair 350d, my server lives in a 750d, I run a Fractal S2 now for my main rig. Anyways, yes, the corsair stuff is not as beefy as fractal. That is true. That said, I wouldn't be worried about the 350d breaking by putting your legs on it. It was solid. Not literally bullet proof like fractal.... but still totally fine. I ran a 280 60mm rad up on top of it which put a lot of weight up top, and even when I carried it around it felt "fine".

I've never actually heard of that shotgun test!

Thanks, you made my day with that video.

I'll add in Meshify Mini-C, very nice and compact-ish case.

Silverstone PS15 and RL08 should be added to your shortlist

Thanks, but I've already ordered the define mini C (tg version).

No regrets! that case is very good and you'll be more than satisfied with it.

 

(photos are a Define Mini C, but the only difference is the front panel)
