Good full ATX MOBO Cases

Sreno1

I am looking to change my current case into a much smaller case. My current case is nice for cooling but it is just too big. 

 

This is my current case: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/full-tower/haf-932-advanced/

 

Price range is $75-150

 

I want it to be black and have a window to show off my GPU

What is the size difference between the HAF 932 Advanced and the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119306 ? I want a case that is smaller not relatively the same size.

one you linked is 21.57" x 9.25" x 20.16"

your HAF is (W) 9.6 x (H) 22.0 x (D) 22.2 inch

 

so smaller but not by much.

 

Do you NEED Optical Drive support? if not there are plenty of cases that are smaller, for example the upcoming Crystal 460x (basically a tempered glass version of the 400C) is (L x W x H): 17.32" x 8.66" x 18.27" which is a SIZEABLE reduction, or the Define R5 (which retains ODD support) comes in with Case dimensions with feet/screws/protrusions of 9.13" x 18.2" x 20.9".

 

Honestly you need to tell what else other then a full ATX board needs to fit, like what hard drives/ssd's, what PSU, if you have an ODD, what COOLING (like do a have radiators, if so which ones) then we would be better able to point you to a smaller case.

I don't need a optical drive I am using the Corsair CX 500W Module PSU, I use 1 HDD and 1 SSD. I will take a look at the Define R5.

what about COOLING? are you water cooled? the 400C is smaller then the R5 since it doesn't have an optical bay and has a variant with a window if you don't want to wait on the 460X's tempered glass, so unless you just need that extra half inch of width to fit a giant cooler sticking off the CPU you might want to consider the 400C if shrinking the size is the key point.

I am considering this case, are the case fans already installed good? If not what case fans should I add/replace them with?
