Small atx case

[mrapoc]

i love my haf 922 don't get me wrong but dang its big.

I've decided i wanna try sell it and get a nice and small case that will

accept all atx motherboards (so i'm not limited in upgrades)

accept all graphics cards (nothing extreme high end, just again so i'm not limited)

decentish airflow

looks sexy

not mega money

will fit a d14 cooler

ssd mount would be cool

usb3.0?

Does such a contraption exist? i'm not looking to upgrade anything else as of yet, but a new case would be nice

The Lian Li PC-A06 meets all of your queries. Will have to double check the heatsink compatability. I sold one on here to danisaur

Looking now

The new corsair looked promising, but I really do want it as small as possible. The kinda size you can stick on your desk and not feel like a total prat

(no offense i'm only joking - yet i feel like one when i do !

)

It is smaller than some m-atx cases due to the way it is laid out. However it can only support a psu no bigger than 160mm

I'd recommend taking a look at cases like the Fractal Core 3000 or the Arc Midi. They are very solidly constructed and not too expensive at all.

Wow those look good! The main contenders so far!

Will they accept "most" psus and graphics upgrades?

 

[fcb]

Yup, they will. If you don't have a lot of hard drives, both the Core 3000 and Arc Midi has a removable top hard drive cage. So that open space there extends the length of video card if it happens to get that big in the future. There shouldn't be any problems with long PSUs as long as you don't plan to install a fan at the bottom as well.

Tom did a fantastic review on the Arc Midi. This may be of interest to you.

Gone and bought it.

Hopefully I'll find the size a lot more pleasing

It's a very good mid size ATX case. As kilobravo mentioned in the other post, it will fit the NH-D14 without any problems and it's a very wide case.
