Compact mATX case?

Hi, does anyone know a compact matx case that I can put in a bag and bring anywhere?

...

Not really. At least it can fit inside a cabin bag or something.

...

Anyway, I'm looking for this compact mATX case which has its height > width. Yes, I don't really need a slim case like bitfenix pandora. Something like raijintek styx is fine, but I'd like to find something smaller than it if possible. And a case which has 400mm in its dimension is a big no unless there's a good reason for it. Oh, a window isn't necessary but I'd like to have one.

 

Does anyone know a case like this? Sorry for being selfish with so many demands.

Thanks in advance, cheers!

Currently i use a Dell Optiplex 755 Small Form Factor --- has inverted mounting --- but its small enough for me to put in a older briefcase style laptop case, is that the kinda small your looking for?

Hm, is it a pre-built pc? If so, does they sell case only?

Yea its a pre built pc, and dell doesnt sell the 755 series anymore, but you might be able to find a newer series that has either the small form factor or ultra small form factor, but if you choose to upgrade gfx at a later date you will need to get a low profile card

Hm, this is the kind I'm avoiding anyway, see, it's 222 in width and 181 in height. But that's anyway!

Yea, those size cases only work with low profile cards, and an added nuisance is the inverted mother board mount on the 755 with the case standing vertically you would open the case on the right side instead of the left side

Yeah, I've came across several cases that are so slim I fell in love with, but sadly they only have low profile slots..

Yep, I know, if it's inches it'll be around around 200000 mm anyway lol

What I'm talking about is that the width is greater than the height. And that's the type I don't really like. I'm looking for a case where its height is greater than its width. Sorry for the confusion!

white or black?

blue led or no?

i have 8 options and am trying to narrow them down

That's cool!

Blue led would be cool, but if the one without blue led is cheaper I prefer that one.

 

I currently have nothing to do so giving me all choices u have wouldn't kill me I guess lol
