Budget (including currency): 200 cad

Country: canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  just kinda looking for a second opinion on a new case (hopefully this is the right place) i currently have a coolermaster h500p mesh in white. (It was way too big to begin with, i just liked it..) but i'm relocating my rig to the living room for vr purposes and need a smaller platform. Currently using an ATX board, i also have another system with an mAtx board, both B450,  so i have room to swap components. (The other case is an antique i had on hand to throw together for my kid during covid, so not an option)  my first thought is an O11 air or one of the varieties. Guess i'm just looking for a second opinion before i pull the trigger?   Sorry for the rambling post, and TIA

If you want to stay with existing motherboards the O11 Air Mini looks good and is fairly small. 

 

Silverstone has a number of more traditional HTPC style cases along with a number of mesh type mATX boxes.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
