Right now I'm not sure if I should go for the Lian-Li PC-05 or the NCASE M1.  I like the window on the Lian-Li but I also like the watercooling support on the M1.  Which one would you recomend for a build that I want to look good, save desk space, and perform well.  I plan on putting an i7-6700K and GTX 980Ti in the build.

Anyways, Node 202 for console like form factor, M1 for super super minitower, Evolve ITX for large ITX.

Unless you really want one of those cases, I would not get either (super ugly imo). If you did get one of the two, the Lian Li one seems more legit to me. Personally as far as mini itx I would get an NZXT Manta, Phankteks Evolv ITX, or the Corsair 380T.

My legit rig:

How about the Dan A4-SFX? It's actually 42% smaller by volume than the NCase M1.

I don't know if I'm willing to go away from my plan of putting a 120mm AIO CPU cooler and EVGA 980Ti Hybrid in my build for a smaller case.  As of right now still leaning towards the NCASE more.
