Looking for a new case for college

[melchiorvester]

I been looking around for a new case to bring to college that is maybe smaller then my current one to save space.

I have a Corsair 650D right now with a ATX motherboard inside and a H100 rad at the top.

I been looking at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro for a while now and some others, but I wasn't sure if there is anything else better and smaller at a great price point.

 

Thanks

450D, Fractal Design R5, H440 > Enthoo What?

that case is a full tower so it isnt small, smallest case I would say u can get cooler Master N400,500,600 or silencio 652

The Enthoo Pro is actually a very popular case because of how cheap and reliable it is

It's also a Full Tower so you can have enough room for more Hard drive cages, water cooling and SLI or Crossfire configs

But that's the problem for the OP, Size

Never been a fan of the Enthoo Cases, any of them, they just look horridly cheap and ugly to me

That's a pretty subjective "case" right there

Most people like their cases

I personally just like it for the price of a full tower

What's your budget?

How small do you want it?

What are your specs?

My max budget is around $150.

Anything smaller then my 650D?

 

This is all the big stuff in my build so pretty much any case that can fit a ATX board

Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 ATX Motherboard GA-Z77X-UD5H

MSI AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 R7950 TWIN FROZR

Corsair H100

Corsair Obsidian 650D

OCZ ZT Series 650W Fully-Modular 80PLUS Bronze

An NZXT H440 would be nice, but if you want a slightly smaller case it would be the Fractal Design R4

Oh I forgot about the silencio 652. Thats also a very nice case that I will put on my pick list

[melchiorvester]

So my list is at this right now in no order
 

Fractal Design Define R4 Cooler Master Silencio 652S Corsair Obsidian Series Black 450D NZXT Technologies H440 Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Now it is all based on the following in order

 

Size (smaller better)
Cable Management

Fan filters

Air flow
Removable HDD cages
