Anyone know what the smallest ATX PC case that currently being made? I want to get a ATX board most cases I look at are way to big to where I would put it.

 

So far the only PC case that fits is Case-Labs Bullet BH7, Not sure I want to spent 260 dollars on a case.

Current Build: Project Frost
Gaming Rig Build: Project Ice Dragon

The S340 is pretty small. You could mod a large mATX case to fit an ATX board though :P

 

to big, looking for cube sized. Which mATX cases are Mod friendly? If I could get V21 or Air 240 and fit the motherboard in their. That would be ideal.

I'm not too sure... if you were to move around the position of the PSU in any MATX case and possibly cut new PCIe slots holes in the back then maybe the Corsair 88R might work? I really don't know :/ It should work though with modding, the case is 378mm high and the standard ATX board is 305mm high :P

What dimensions do you want to be small?
 

The Prodigy is nice, but if I had to guess, you're talking about fitting it somewhere longways so the width is what you want to be small and the prodigy's width is quite large (it might have a small volume, but takes up just as much space in front of your face or by a desk due to massive width). 

 

If you can put it by your desk, you won't even notice this despite how long it is https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/pandora-atx.  And no cooling on the sides so you can block the airflow from the side of your desk. 

 

There's really nothing wrong with not having a full ATX, however.

 

I am concerned with cooling.  You sound like you want to cram your computer somewhere tight, which is terrible for cooling.  The side of your desk is fine, but dont lock it in a small cabinet.
