M-ATX cases help

[AP_97]

Hello everyone.

 

I need help on deciding what case should i get next for my rig.

 

My rig is a prebuilt (well technically i choose the parts but it's built by the shop vendor) and i told the vendor to house the build in a minimalistic case. Sadly, those variants of cases have run out and i have to accept my rig in a case called Dazumba D-Vito 685

 

 

I have problems with this case...

 

1. Cheap build quality, like i put it on it's side to clean the power supply fan and the side panel bent

2. No filtration, dust gets in easily and as a result every 3 months i have to clean it

3. I'm just not a fan of it's aesthetics

4. You can't remove the front panel to clean it

 

I'm looking for a case that is:

1. Smaller than what i currently have that supports no larger than ATX (my motherboard is a Gigabyte H81M-DS2 3.0 https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H81M-DS2-rev-30#ov). Also the place to put my PC measures at 300 mm width x 450 mm tall x 430 mm deep, for reference

2. Have plenty of filtration and removable front panel for cleaning

3. Can support ATX power supply (Corsair VS450) and able to fit a Radeon RX 470 reference

4. Have a window. I don't care about tempered glass but i need a window to check of dust

5. Preferably have more than 2 USB front (i have a USB Wi-Fi dongle i put on the front and i plug in my game pad when i play games)

6. Have a 5.5 inch drive bay for my DVD-RW (optional)

 

Price preferably under 100 USD

 

Thank you in advance

Fractal Design Define C. Sleek, understated look. Acrylic and TG options, decent dust filtration, quiet etc.

 

There's also the Mini C, if you want a mATX case.

 

No DVD option, though. For that, you could get the Define R5 but it's over budget.

Sorry, man but it's too big. Looking for a case that only supports M-ATX

You can also look at corsiar 88r and other corsair cases.

Just filter on pcpartpicker and you'll get fewer results to sort through.

Ahh I see, sorry I didn't see it if you mentioned it in your OP.

 

[edit] Also m-ATX isn't a case size it's a motherboard standard. You can get pretty big cases that are still m-ATX and smaller. If you say what size you need to have, if it needs to fit somewhere then we might be able to narrow it down for you.

I'm aware that M-ATX are the motherboard sixe, it's just i need a case that only support M-ATX and under.

 

As for where i will be putting it. I have a space on my desk that has dimensions of ( L x W x T / 430mm x 300mm x 450mm )

 

So far the case that fit into it are the Fractal Design Mini C

No, I'm saying there are cases that are m-ATX and lower that are still BIG, the dimensions are way more help in trying to figure out a case that will fit... the ATX standard you want is also relevant of course, but just saying the Size is the most defining factor in trying to help you find a case.
