If you're looking for a case have a look at the Fractal Design Core 500 or the SG13/SG05.

You'll like the SG13/SG05, they;re the smallest cases on the market. All of those cases you mentioned are big enough to fit mATX boards in and totally defeat the purpose of mITX.

 

I love my SG05, but since you have a particularly large card and you probably don't want to mod the case, I suggest the SG13.

The Enthoo is quite large for an mITX case...

yeah thats what I said when I opened mine for christmas today... way larger then my elite 110. I would get the core 500 I think it looks nice and has support for full length gpus. and full height cpu coolers.

1. i am mainly going to have it on my desk and right now i have a silent base 800 next to me.

2. i am looking for function and features more than price

3. i am think most likely the 250d

the 250D is a good case. I just think it costs to much, and I didn't want to give my dad a heart attack...

Someone the other day was complaining about their GPU getting too hot in the 250D due to how close the top panel is to the GPU.
