Okay so I am going for an m-atx build but I'm not sure which case i should go for. Having room for a little bit of water cooling would be nice too as my build is going to have an i7 4790k and 2 gtx 980 poseidons right now I have been thinking between the corsair 350d and the phanteks enthoo mini xl However if you guys can think of other good cases please let me know and thank you for helping :D

A consideration might be the s340 due to it being around the size of a matx tower. If you would need more water cooling room, check out the Arc Mini R2 if you haven't already. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

lol I checked them out but didn't like them that much. What do you think of the bitfenix prodigy m? or is it a bit too tight in there?

Simply put, the Prodigy M isn't that good of a case. Were there any other cases that piqued your interest?

You know with a mATX motherboard you can use any mATX/ATX mid tower/ATX full tower cases

It Won't Fail Cause of Me.

lol sorry I'm kinda new to this so I'm not sure if that's how it was done and yes i also liked the features of the node 804 but I think it doesn't look that good

yes i know that but there is no point of doing that since the case would be big i was looking for a small case and do sli as well

Ahh okay sorry, I don't know to much about mATX cases as I'm used to ATX ones

Some of the cases you're looking at aren't that small for matx anyway. 

what do you think of the phanteks enthoo evolv case?

It's a bit wonky but good overall.

Yeah you are right but I really don't like the storage options of the h440 and I kinda like having the option of optical drive when it comes to bigger cases lol

Fair enough, tbf i really dislike the look of 4.25" drives so the h440 is a case that really suits my tastes. the big drive bays IMO are ugly :P

Plenty of room for water cooling, Micro ATX, and decently affordable.
