I have an atx asus motherboard as well as an asus strix graphics card and need a small atx case for taking to lans. I really want a side panel so that I can shows off my hardware too. At the moment I am just using the intel stock cooler and may plan to upgrade the cooler in the future, but I am okay with getting a low profile one if it means that the case can be smaller. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I am using a bitfenix prodigy m which is a rather nice matx case that can handle some serious hardware. Bitfenix does offer a side panel window option that you can purchase separately.

Do they have an atx version because I do not have an matx mobo?

Theres no such thing as a small ATX. What I see in the LAN full ATX cases are just thick panels and handles. IMO Any case could be converted to a lan case if you add handles. Ive always wanted to do something like this:

Can you recommend it? As in do you know anyone who has it and is it any good because it does look good imo?

I haven't used it. There's a video showing a build in it that I think was Hardware Canucks. There are some drawbacks: 2 2.5" drives max and that the max height of the GPU and CPU cooler is limited. I pointed my brother in the direction of that case, but instead he is doing one of those desk cases. If it had better color options, I would try it out.

CPU: i7 4770K  |  Corsair H80i  |  ASUS Z87-Pro  |  8GB Corsair 1866Mhz  |  GPU: MSI Gaming X RX 480 8GB  |  Corsair HX  750
