I'm looking for a small ATX with front rear and top cooling or one that could blend in with living room furniture as I've lost the room for a desk.

My SG09 is lovely but I need a ATX case as I've been told matx mobos and anything amd fx dont really mix and I miss the extra slots and bays.

ATX cases are all relatively the same size. You might have to down grade to a mATX enclosure.

I would wait for a Silverstone GD09/10(75$-100$) Or if you want it now, get a node 605(160$).

These have no "front cooling" but tthey re way smaller than mid towers at 25L instead of 50l

you could also go with a GD08 which is bigger at 35l but feature more cooling.

if you want cheap, an antec vsk4100 will do at 35$ and 35l but keep in mind the price point as some sacrifices were made. it does fit 4 12mm fans stock and you can mount one in the 5.25 bays like i did.

btw for comparaison a BF prodigy is 36L, a haf XB is 60L.

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

ATX Portable rig (smaller than prodigy(LOL)) :  Nmedia 2800 | Gigabyte Z77x-ud3h  | Corsair HX1000 | Scythe Big Shuriken | i5 3570K  |  XFX R9 290 DoubleD | Corsair Vengeance 32GB
