Have a look at the arc mini R2, the corsair 350D and the silver stone ps07/tj08. All are good cases.

Hi,

I have been using a Cooler MAster Elite 335U (http://eu.coolermaster.com/uk/product/Detail/case/mid-tower-elite-series/elite-335u.html) for 2 years now and want to upgrade. I am using a micro atx motherboard and want the case to be fairly small in width (AKA not a cube case like the Node 804). Any suggestions.

 

I am only using one graphics card with no other expansion slots and a small (around 150mm) PSU.

 

Also sorry if I did something wrong with placing this post. I'm a newbie.
