The Corsair 350D is surprisingly large for an mATX. It's around the same size as your average mid-tower.

Honestly, the 350D and the two you already own are both pretty much some of the nicest mATX cases imo. The BitFenix Prodigy is pretty nice, and some people really like the DIYPC Cuboid cases.

What do u guys think of the aerocool dead silence? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerocool-Silence-Gaming-0-8mm-Window/dp/B00FLC1AC4/ref=sr_1_4?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1454348333&sr=8-4&keywords=aerocool+dead+silence

Hey guys,

Im in the market for a micro atx case, The case has to support at least a 240mm radiator.

I would also like there to be a window on the side panel.

I have already seen the air 240 and the phanteks evolv but im considering the ds cube or the corsair 350d.

You guys recommend any other cases?

I actually like that case a good bit. I almost went with it for one of my builds. The only reason I didn't is because I'm REALLY picky, haha~
