I am looking for a good mATX case, to replace my fractal arc mini (not R2).

I am thankful for every idea you guys have, the only thing the case must have is a side panel window :P

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

thanks to all of your suggestions! I checked them all out and i came to this conclusion:

-350D hmm too big and the top where you will see the fan screws bothers me :$

-Arc mini r2 is one of the best cases but it is not compact enough as I only use SSDs and no 5.25 drives :) but otherwise, love it :D

-Air 240 one of the best internal layouts but not enough space for radiators n stuff :$

-Silverstone and Lian-Li ones: sorry I do not like their design :$

- Node 840 had a look at it before but as i would want to take my gaming rig to some parties, well this is simply too big :P

-pandora: I just love it there is just one problem, the locking mechanism of the side panels is very bad :$ hopefully they will revise it and I'm in for it :D and i will mod it slighty if necessary (like putting a 2nd fan in the top and put all my ssd's under the cable management bracket, and so on :D

anyone got some thoughts about the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv? :)

and some fancy cable extensions and some fancy corsair fans :D
