Best Micro ATX case (possibly with handle?)

Thank you all in advance

With handle?  Bitfenix Prodigy M is the only one I can think of.

Would you say it's good? I mean I heard with some review the handle isn't great on it and that it isn't sturdy but I'm not sure

I have the original Prodigy (MITX size) for a media server build.  The material the handles are made from (and same with the feet) are too flimsy for me.  I don't find it that sturdy.  

 

When I downsized my main gaming rig, I was also looking at the Prodigy M because of the handles because I go to LAN parties.  The original Prodigy turned me off that line (though I understand why it's popular for some).  I ended up settling for the 350D.

Is the 350d quiet?

Just browse newegg, sorting cases by size (matx/mini itx) and check the pix. Most I saw with handle would not support anything bigger than the factory heat sink, so beware the cooling performance. I'm currently using a cooler master N200 and loving it. But no handle.

I have a Silverstone SG10, it doesn't have a handle but it is so small carrying it isn't a problem. Build quality and cooling are good. There are a few drawbacks due to it's size; If you want a AIO cooler your limited to 120mm and looks like it requires some brute force to fit, but there is good clearance for tower coolers. Low RPM HDDs are recommended due to limited airflow for them, but SSD space is getting cheaper. And a Silverstone PSU with their short cable set makes the build so much easier as there isn't much space to stash unwanted cable.

 

Handles seem to be more of a mini-ITX thing.
