Looking for a tiny portable mATX case

Go to solution Solved by Unimaginative Name,

Bitfenix Prodigy M - has handles

Thermaltake Core V21

Thermaltake Urban S1

 

Most of the ultra-portable options only support ITX boards.

I'm finally going to upgrade my case and PSU. I've decided on a Corsair CX550 for the power supply, problem is I don't know which case to put it in. Now I carry around my pc quite a bit, I take it to LAN parties at a friend's house (yes, we still do those), and sometimes I bring it with me when I go visit my folks and stay for more than a week. I'm looking for any good portable mATX cases around 40-60 USD, front panel USB 3 is good but not a must.

 

Thanks.

Inside some old case I found lying around.

Cooler Master had a couple mATX cases I thought, from their Core lineup(if I recall correctly)

Thanks, everyone. I'm probably going with the Core V21, I'm really liking the cube aesthetic, plus it doesn't look to be too difficult to carry around.

The prodigy M is really hard to build in. If your GPU is too big, and your psu longer than standard-ish size, you cant fit one or the other.

Surprised no one has suggested the Silverstone Raven, they look way smaller then most cube cases and this one fits a normal PSU which is damn impressive

GPU's not a problem, I'm pretty sure this 1050ti will fit in even SFF cases. The PSU though I'll have to check.

I was looking for mATX cases, according to the website, the Raven's only good for ITX boards :)

Ahh. I tried a normal ATX sized psu and a MSI 1070 Gaming X. PSU inside bracket could only be mounted on one side or it would hit the gpu.
