What do you plan on doing with it? Water cooling? Lots of drive bays for storage? Need a internal CD/ROM available?

Probably going to install a corsair h90, 1 hdd and 2 ssds. Nothing else except for gpu and a 760i

http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mini-tower/n200/  this has everything you. Room for a 240mm rad in the front + 2 SSD slots and for your HDDs. Plus a 5.25 drive bay just in case you want to get a CD/ROM drive.

Works best with air coolers for the CPU, though some have squeezed a AIO 120mm rad in. It was the smallest mATX case, with good cooling, I could find when I build my  PC last year.

I have have experience with the TJ08e, Bitfenix Prodigy M, Core 1000 and Corsair 350D so far.
All nice mATX cases if you ask me, all very different cases.

 

350D: big, but other than that is amazing. only thing missing is a dust filter for the top

 

Prodigy M: actually had amazing airflow

 

Core 1000: really well-built budget case. quiet fans, filtered front, no cablemanagement though.....but it still looks very clean inside (have it as secondary PC with a celeron and an HD6870 in it.

 

TJ08e: Love the case, but GPU cooling is not the best unfortunately. CPU cooling on the other hand is amazing. My 6600k at 4.5 Ghz won't go over 70°C with my Noctua NH-U12P.

 

 

I mentioned the Prodigy M above, but today I would probably buy a Phenom M. Same case basically, but not handles. Makes it smaller, which is nice.

Thanks for the replies, the N200 and the arc 2 look pretty nice.

I still haven't decided, the arc looks pretty nice so I'll probably get it.

the arc mini r2 is a great case. even for later expansion or cooling upgrades:
