mATX case suggestions?

[plusgin]

I'm working on a my build atm and have ordered pretty much everything now but the case. Having some trouble with it since I can't seem to decide on one completely yet.

My build is an air cooled mATX Ryzen build with a R9 Fury and ideally I'm looking for a more minimalist tower style with a tempered glass side panel under $100.

I've been eyeing mostly the InWin 301 and the Fractal Define C Mini (if only this had TG) but neither really convince me 100%. I also like the S340 Elite but its a bit too big.

Are there any other solid cases I should be considering?

 

Several of the cases shown at Computex seemed promising as well, but I have no idea on the release timeline on those.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

I've got the enthoo evolv mATX TG and its quite stunning relative to other options in the market. Really stands out and is sort of s340 size but its def used IMO more efficiently. Also I've heard inwin 301 has issues with airflow for some ppl so keep that in mind

Hey that sounds awfully familiar.  Looking at the boxes next to me, I have a black Inwin 301, Asrock AB350M Pro4, R5 1600X, Cryorig H7, 16 gigs of corsair LPX 3200, a 512gb nvme SSD, and I'm currently in the process of unloading my RX 470 on cryptocurrency miners to buy a used Fury Nitro.

 

Because I still need to make an Ikea run to finish building my new desk, I haven't done much aside from mount the motherboard in the case, but I really like the 301.  It's tiny, barely bigger than the Evolv ITX.  Cable management is not amazing if you want to stick multiple SSD's or HDD's in it, so to eliminate those cables I'm just running off the m.2 slots and network storage.  Lots of room to play if you aren't putting radiators everywhere.

 

A Fury Nitro should fit with about an inch to spare, which is impressive because the case is very small and the Nitro is a huge card.

I've looked at the Evolv mATX, it looks like a solid option, but its a bit out of my price range unfortunately. 

Just a shame that there aren't very many options in the mATX world if you want TG

Yah you'd probably be best off waiting for a computex case as at the moment in the matx size this is what's available.

For my last build I used the Aero Cool DS Black with side window . 

 

It was an amazing case IMO.

I've currently got my mATX rig in a Corsair Carbide Series 88R and it's worked out pretty well for me. The case is cheap, compact, and I think the styling hits a nice middle ground between "gamer PC" and "elegant workstation." Cable management could be better, but I might just think that because I'm awful at cable management.

 

That being said, there are some awesome cases being announced at Computex right now if you can wait or are open to upgrading later. I'm planning on upgrading when the Phanteks P300 is released, personally.
