I'm looking for a case for my computer that is small (under 37cm in height).

 

I don't want:

Anything from Corsair

Bitfenix Phenom (I have it now)

 

 

Cases I like (in style):

200r

Node 304

Phenom

 

mATX or mITX is good :)

Fractal Design Core 1000?

Meh, don't like the mesh on the front. But keeping in mind!

I have recently built a system with the 200r, it's a really nice and affordable case. ( http://www.alternate.nl/Corsair/Carbide-200R-behuizing/html/product/1033775?event=search )

The only thing I didn't like was the partial lack of cable management options in the case.

Why get a small case when you have space enough?

Because I don't like big cases. They seem big to me.

Silvestone TJ08-e.  Its 37.4CM in height it and seems to be basically in a class of its own for small cases.  I wouldn't hesitate to get that one.

Nope, too much on the front.

phenom dimensions: 250mm width, 330mm height, 347mm depth

Aquila dimensions: 265mm width, 403mm height, 390mm depth

Nope. Too thick.

I love my Node 304, a breeze to build in and beautiful on my desk. Only thing you should be aware of is that you have limited room for your PSU. Bigger units will fit but requires some light modding.

Probably the worst photo a person can make, but whatever. Sorry for the "professional lighting" :P

Wow it's even worse now I see it on PC. That's what you get for buying a LG L9...
