MiniTower - ATX, Zalman CNPS14X, R9 290, 1 DVD, 1/2 HDD | Does it exist? :)

[duzy_wonsz]

Hello gentlemen of the internet

 

Im looking for a case for some time now and there were many thoughts, about how will I use it.

Im moving my PC alot to friends for LAN parties, but carying a MidiTower around is pretty hard (It doesnt have GPU, but has 2 HDDs and it's heavy already)

 

So. Is it possible to find a MiniTower that has:

1. ATX (Z87)

2. Space for Zalman CNPS14X (Around 18 cm from side to side)

3. Space for R9 290

4. Good cable management. (Best if cables can be hidden)

5. Can have at least 1 HDD (DVD drive ain't necesary and SSDs are too expensive and too small for me )

6. If there is a variety which one has best airflow.

 

If that ain't too much, thank you for your help

SSD would be the way to go so you could remove HDD cages to fit stuff into such a small case.

something like the carbide air 540? Or smaller?

I don't think that's going to be any easier to carry.

 

I imagine Cooler Master HAF XB would be the best solution. It has carrying handles on the sides.

HAF XB looks awesome!
I definitely love it and It's only around 350 PLN, but there is this EVO version ( HAF XB EVO) which is even cheaper.

Should it be XB or XB EVO?

Are you certain all my stuff will fit in?

 

Can you give me any more propostions?

 

Wow! That CollerMaster is huge! (Bigger than my MidiTower)

8KG!! Is it a LAN case Mule Edition?!

 

Hmmm. At Linus it looks very light... Hmmm...

There really are't any smaller cases that fits ATX and your cooler...maybe some HTPC. 

 

I'm not sure about the difference between the XB and the XB EVO.

 

Here is a review though. Guru3D HAF XB EVO Review

Nice! Thank you

 

But, should I save for R9 290 or go for the Case and wait for GPU to get cheaper?
