I'm looking to "upgrade" my PC by watercooling it and OCing the snot out of it, but I've been struggling to find a nice mATX case which will hold one SSD and two HDDs (from what I've look up, they tend to limit you to 2 drives which isn't ideal). 

Any suggestions? 

 

Forgot to add: I'd prefer to avoid the Air 540, Node 804, and the like... not a big fan of having a cube

Corsair 350D 

Fractal Design Arc mini

From what I've seen, they both limit how many drives you can install :\ 

(Can anyone confirm this?) 

 

-------------------

 

Also, how would a mATX motherboard look in an ATX case?
