What are some small ITX cases? And don't say prodigy, that thing is huge.

 

 

I'm going to be useing a ASUS p8Z77i-Deluexe with a noctua NH-L9 no graphics card. Smaller the better. Slimmer the better.

That's not really on the small side either. It's pretty big.

What are you using the system for?

Do you already have the motherboard and cooler?

That is exactly what I'm NOT looking for. ATX PSU and long GPU support makes the case too big.

I posted in the OP that I have a p8z77i-deluexe and a noctua nh-l9i. Well I'm not going to game on it, I'm going to use simple stuff like MS publisher and maybe indesign.

The problem is that it's an obsidian series case, which means it has flimsy build quality. This isn't up for debate, corsair obsidian cases look great, but theyre built really flimsy, I know its because they use aluminum, and aluminum isn't as sturdy as steel. But I can't tolerate knowing that i can bend the side panel easily with my hands. And that case is as big as the prodigy. Too big for what I'm looking for. It's pretty hard to find a small case. Lian Li seems to have some small cases so I'm looking into them.

This case actually looks pretty good. I'm going to have to look into the measurements before I decide on it though.

How come no one has mentioned the EVGA Hadron? Am I the only one that is completely in love with it?

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
