Micro atx towers or Atx mid towers help!

jerry206 · Mar 15, 2013

I really want to use a Rosewill Line-M micro atx tower http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147166&Tpk=rosewill%20line%20m&IsVirtualParent=1
but people say that bigger cases are better because of more room and better ventilation. but i like small compact computers and its going to be a gaming rig. so should i get a micro atx case? or a rosewilll challanger atx mid?

Get whatever you want...
As long as the case is well designed and has adequate airflow through it there is no performance difference between a full tower and an ITX case, just what you can do with it.

jerry i picked up an antac one gaming case it small for mid size atx case. the issue with mini cases are going to be the max gpu card length the case can use. most will be 9 inch cards do to the hard drive bays getting into the way of the video card. the other issue is that you have to use short hight cpu coolers. most min case dont have the depth to put in a evo 212 cooler. with mini case your going to have to shoe horn the mb in first then the power supply and other parts.

small case..old inside..see that the hard drive bay wont let long cards fit.

Long story short, this is a very small computer case but cooling is great and the parts all fit. However, you do have to do your research to make sure the case is adequate for your needs.
