im in the process of building a new case, ive got most parts but just cant decide on a case for it. the ones i have in mind are Bitfenix Prodigy M Black, Corsair Obsidian 350D w/window, or i can wait till the Fractal Design Node 804 is released at my local shop. the last option is to wait for the Corsair Air 240 (which i love) but that could be closer to the end of the year. 

ive got a Gigabyte AMD R9 290, Asus Z87 Gryphon, and will have CM Hyper 212 EVO and Corsair RM 650 and need all these to fit.

 

if you could help me out, or suggest a case that i havent considered, that would be much appreciated.  

 

 

ps, i do like "box" case, i think they look great. 

 

thanks

The Bitfenix Prodigy M is the best looking mATX case IMO. Can't go wrong with that.

I would say wait for 240 or if you are impatient go for the Node 804 but I think CoolerMaster also has a cube case.

 

PS: Yay a fellow cube case lover!

Hey have you considered the new m-ATX cases from Phanteks? They are not out yet but you said you might be able to wait for a case. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/159645-phanteks-previewed-their-new-mini-xl-and-evolv-case/

Have a look at Aerocool DS Cube as well. Note that it doesn't have a front dust filter, but you can buy those for cheap.
