Looking for a Small Case for college

eatitmonkeyboy

While i am currently still trying to sell my much bigger computer to pay for this smaller build I'm currently looking at a $100 budget for my computer case.

What I'm looking for

-Small (I'm going off to college in the fall and need something that won't take up a bunch of room on my desk)

-Be able to have support for some type of corsair water cooling (maybe a h100i) 

-Have enough drive cages to fit a 1 Tb Hard drive and a ssd

-Oh and of course be able to fit a full sized graphics card. (hopefully a 970)

-Also hopefully a normal power supply but if I can get a smaller case and the power supply won't cost me anymore (besides more scratched hands) I'm all in

Thanks Guys!

Silverstone SG13.

Honestly, if you're looking for a case that's small and won't take up too much desk space, this is your best bet. It's considerably smaller than the CoolerMaster options, and can still take water cooling, a full length graphics card up to 10.5", and a full sized PSU as long as it's shorter than 160mm.

It's tiny.

I'd also consider the Silverstone FT03 or FT03 Mini if you can afford the extra. They're awesome cases with a small footprint.

The corsair air 240 sounds good for you. The only downside is that it can't fit some GPUs. It can fit practically anything but windforce cards length wise, but it don't fit anything with extra height because of the window.
