Looking for small ATX case

[icerouther]

Hello there,

 

Back in the day I bought a Cooler Master HAF X Case because I wanted really good airflow and such.

 

But over the years I've realized that I might have gone a bit overkill on that one aspect and that I would rather have a more portable case.

 

So now I'm looking for a new smaller case to fit my components.

 

I'm currently using a ATX Mainboard with an ATX Powersupply, a KFA2 GTX 1080. (a regular sized gpu). For storage I'm using a 2.5" SSD. And for CPU cooling I have a 280mm AiO (Corsair H110).

I do realise I could also ditch the ATX Mainboard and get a mATX or ITX Mainboard, to go even smaller, but ideally I only want to replace the case and as few other components as possible.

 

So I am basicly looking for a small ATX case to fit all these components inside, while providing decent airflow and preferably some other benefits like easy to clean dustfliters and such.

 

 

If you have any suggestions for a case that would fit my build, I'd be very happy to read them!

No need to ditch anything. Riotoro makes some of the smallest atx cases out there without really any compromises. They are the size of regular matx cases.

 

Their cr 1088 and morpheus are about as small as atx cases get  (there are a couple smaller ones but those are watercooling full loop focused).

 

Both of these cases do need a couple extra fans so consider buying some arctic p series fans (funny enough their new rgb ones are even better as they are an itteration on their p series and still only cost about 5$ per fan for what is a noctua fan in terms of silence and performance).

That 280mm aio is going to be a problem for small and cheap'ish atx-cases. Wont fit into Raijintek Thetis or Jonsbo u4 plus.

 

I would honestly just go for Meshilicious or NR200 and buy an itx motherboard if you need to move it around often. Maybe even upgrade the cpu if the old one is not that great and you cant swap between atx and itx for 50$ or less.

the liamli 011 mini is atx but most case will have to be a serten height for the atx mb. so if you want smaller you need an smaller mb imo
