"Small" ATX cases?

NinjaJc01

I need to decide on a case for my second gaming PC, and was kind of hoping on finding a small(ish) ATX case (Small in height). Maybe windowed, and I could do with it being cheap. I am in UK. Any suggestions?

Secondary PC:

Are you looking for small height in-particular, or small overall? If it's the former, then something like the Corsair Air 540 is worth looking at, as it's short and fat, seeing as it has dual, shorter compartments.

Build one out of cardboard, like I did. :D

 

Yeah, that might not be so good since I have a cat that eats cardboard.

It'll think twice about it if you make the sides an inch thick and seal them together with wood glue ;)

She'll make holes in the side quicker than you think. She shreds paper too.

Enermax has a small ATX case, the Fulmo-Q. But if you want smaller than that, you'll have to pay through the nose.

or put cat poison on some cardboard boxes.

if they don't have it near you, you can just custom paint it

Your alternative is waiting for the PC-TU300, which will obviously be exorbitant because it's Lian-Li.

Cool. At that price, I might go for the Define S, or the thermaltake knock off of it.

I like it! Imma check amazon quick.

EDIT: At £120, that's more money than my main gaming rig cost me...

Yeah, but the GPU is awful in AAA games. It's butter smooth in most games though.
