Do you want to build a small formfactor pc?

Or do you just have a Mico ATX board already, because those fit in atx cases as well

The new Fractal Design Pop mini air should be really easy to work with https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/pop/pop-mini-air/RGB Orange Core/

How many hdds are you planning to use?

Your m-atx board will fit any atx case if that helps, so you have full choice over both m-atx cases and atx cases.

How many rads will you be running and what PSU will you buy/do you have?

 

HDD drive bays can interfere with psu cables, so a longer PSU can be hard to fit in some cases whilst maintaining 3,5 inch hdd bays.

That for instance is a problem with the 5000D, but I guess you could always just doublesided tape it in another place.

A Be Quiet! Pure Base 500DX might be a good option for you.

Kolink Citadel seems to be decent

TECWARE FORGE M2 BLACK & WHITE mATX MESH ARGB COMPACT GAMING

 

I don't know any of these cases or brands but from the pictures they look decent for thermals, hope this helps

IMO, "easy to build in" isn't all that important. Most people will put their pc together, and maybe clean it out once a year. And most people don't even take their entire pc apart, to clean it. So "it doesn't matter" if you only plan to build your pc once. I would focus on how good it looks, if the airflow is good enough, and if I can fit all my parts. (in the reverse order btw)

With that many drives, have you looked into a server case instead?

I am not aware that any have RGB built in. The last thing to worry about is looks because none of them are designed to be lookers, as they're usually behind walls and thus out of sight for onlookers.
