Silverstone FT03. The one with the silver or titanium finish. As long as it's not black.

forgot about that case....looks like a trash can though. Pretty impressed at the form factor.

BQ looks like standard Lian-LI...which is a good thing. However the looks leave a little to be desired.

 

EDIT: double post my bad

Maybe hold your horses until Computex, which is 6 days away. There are bound to be new ones.

 

Fractal Design Arc Mini is ok though.

Corsair 350D is... Fashion. I guess that's the nicest possible word I have for it.

Nothing beats the Fractal Design Core 1000 for value.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

350D?

 

 

Corsair Obsidian 350D?

 

 

A little too big. If I'm honest the 350D kinda defeats the purpose of mATX. That FT03 is starting to grow on me.......

 

 

Caselabs has a new ALU mATX case

and if you don't want alu i guess the 350D is the only other real option for watercooling.

 

That looks...nice actually

Go mini ITX then?

 

CaseLabs S3

Prodigy - dare I say the name

Silverstone shuttle size

 

I have the Prodigy right now. I like the design but the construction quality and the materials used leave a lot to be desired. Those plastic handles keep cutting my fingers.

 

S3 looks very nice.

 

Right now I'm really leaning towards the FT03. The design is growing on me and the internal layout is genius.

i just realized, that the S3 is  ITX..sorry for the missinformation :D

yeah just noticed. 

 

Can anyone clarify something for me? There appears to be an FT03 and a FT03 Mini. The latter being ITX?

Yes, the mini is the ITX one while the former is mATX.

 

Note: Here's Caselab's mATX case - http://www.caselabs-store.com/merlin-sm5-case/

I've also heard rumors going around that Caselabs is working on another mATX case. This time the size would be smaller.
