Moving into smaller apartment and I want to downsize my case...

[The_Other_Cody]

I am moving into a smaller apartment and was wanted to go from full tower to a considerably smaller case. I currently have an atx board with blower 1070ti in a first Gen Phanteks Enthoo Evolv case and wanted to downsize for space constraints.

 

Recommendations welcome for a case that won't require to switch motherboard or other components?

 

Update: I apprecaite the recommendations. I don't think those cases will work but it helped get me to the case I am planning on using so all the help is appreciated!!! I'm going to go with Cooler Master Q500L and load it up with top/bottom fans to accomadate for bad front air flow due to PSU placement.

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv

The current version of the Panteks Enthoo Evolv ATX has 59.33 liters of volume (235x495x510 mm WxHxL)

The Fractal Design Define R7 Compact has 42.5 liters of volume (210x474x427 WxHxL)
I mean... ATX size is still ATX size but it's smaller.

 

The most compact case would be the Jonsbo RM2, but there is not much space for fans or airflow.

If you want the thermaltake core g3 could work. You also have the riotoro cr 1088 and cr 1080 if you want to keep things normal. All have pretty good airflow.

The airflow sucks in that case causing the fans to work harder defeating the entire purpose of the silencing materials in the case.

Thanks for your opinion. I'm using the Define R6, I don't hear my fans and my temps are fine. The pupose of the silencing materials is to absorb my HDD's noise.

I would look into the Cougar lineup. The Cougar MX410 Mesh G in particular. It is not super high-quality case, but most compact mid-towers aren't.
