best MATX Fishtank?

Fluuwu

In a previous post, I've defined my question insufficiently...
So, here I go again:
What is the best mATX fish tank PC case, that is preferably below 80 bucks?

true, stupid me...
there's nothing wrong with your suggestions, they'd be good cases, but they're not available in my country. So i'm just looking for more suggestions 🙂

I've been looking for this exact kind of thing for the past few months, I think I'll end up getting the O11 Air Mini but that's still a relatively large case, albeit smaller than all the other Lian Li models and shorter in height than most cases.

 

Some other recent options/brands include:

  • Jonsbo (TK 1 / 2 / 3)
  • Zalman (think you mentioned having an old case from these before, they've announced a few new 'pillarless'/glass case ones recently)
  • Antec (CX200M, C3, C5 - none particularly compact though)
  • Thermaltake (Tower 200 / 300 - sort of a vertical take on the form)
  • Corsair 2500X/2500D (largely similar to the O11 Air Mini I mention above, slightly larger, more expensive and no/worse fans, back connect motherboard compatible)
  • Phanteks NV5 (but not really, it's pretty much the size of a mid tower)

 

Re: the terminology mentioned in that other thread, 'dual chamber' seems to be the official adopted term.

 

In light of the above, the Lian Li is the one I think I'll opt for but will hold off for another couple of months until Computex to see if anything interesting gets announced - I'm relatively new to the world of paying attention to PC hardware announcements but it seems like a lot of last year's more covered cases debuted there.
