Looking for case that's more compact than Corsair 4000D airflow but is still atx

ArtemisGladea

Hi, I currently have a Corsair 4000D Airflow. I'm looking for an atx that's a bit more compact. Doesn't need to be travel sized, just not a pain to move around. I'm upgrading to a 3080 soon, so I need the case to fit that. I'd strongly prefere if the case is on the easier side to build in, as I have a slight disadvantage in my hand motor skills, which makes small and subtle movements annoying to do. 

I know it's alot to ask for, but I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Thank-you

I have owned both the 'Corsair Carbide Air 540' and the 'Corsair Series 680X ATX' and both cases we're nice looking, super easy to build in and airflow is fine for a 3080. If you can find any of those 2nd hand, would be great options. 

I now own the HYTE Y60, and it is also easy to build in and should still be available as new, though it's replacement just released, the HYTE Y70.

All three cases can handle ATX with no issues.

Meshify C is quite nice indeed, and also the Meshify 2 compact which is a bit more modern.

 

@BetteBalterZenthose cases are great but also quite big.

 

Jonsbo D41 also looks quite nice and is very small for atx.

after you chose the case, check the maximum GPU length spec, and look out if the certain 3080 model you're getting even fits inside the case

True, in volume they are but as they are kinda "cube"-like, they are actually sort of easy to move around. I've been to many LAN parties with my previous cases there and they have always been easy to move. But sure, I'm a tat bigger than average guy, so if you're "small", they may not be easier to handle.
