Best micro-atx case

lostgamer_03 · Apr 19, 2013

Hello guys.

I'm on the lookout for a silent micro-atx case which have dust filters. My current midi-tower case is simply too big for me. Proper cable management would also be great and space for a 120m radiator.

I've already looked at Fractal Design mini, but I'd like it to be smaller.

Since you already say that Fractal Mini is large for your needs, which is a micro atx mini tower type, I assume you are searching for micro atx slim cases...

here is a quick list for micro atx slim cases:

COUGAR Spike is the best I've seen for the money.

I'm with Horseshoe Harry.. Bitfenix should be coming out with the "Prodigy M" case soon which is mATX.

Best i would say for around $100 is Corsair 350D with Window

Antec Mini p180. easily the best looking case

You should give the cooler master n200 a try- http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/mini-tower/n200.html maybe not as small as the other cases but its a great deal!

Very nice case ^

I want to confirm what Surya mentioned about the Coolermaster N200... great little case, and it seems to be on sale everywhere (you can pick it up in Canada for about $39.99)

Built a computer for my mother using this case, plenty of "modern" mounting options (for 2.5 SSDs either in or above/below drive cages, or behind the motherboard. Comes with two fans, and once I tweaked the BIOS fan/temp control settings, the case was basically silent.

She's running a very modest AMD A4-5300 system. For her purposes, the case is cool and quiet, and the system runs smooth and stable.

If you can wait until October, Bitfenix is coming out with a new version of their "Prodigy" which basically supports mini-ITX and micro-ATX.

Take a look on Jonsbo U3, its very compact mini tower with cool strict design.
Unfortunately it has 270mm depth, so putting in top videocards like gtx780 will be pain in the ass.
I made a gaming rig in it:

mobo: asus maximus VII gene
cpu: 4790k 4700Mhz@1.305V
gpu: GTX780ti @1200Mhz
cooler: NH-D14
psu: SS-1000XP
ssd128 +ssd750
sound: Creative Titanium HD

Hey @Lampogriz is the aiflow in the Legacy U3 sufficient for gaming? I'm very interested in this case for my first gaming build. It's between the U3 and the Fractal Node 804. The Node appears to be built a little better, and has superior airflow, but is much larger. Have you done any overclocking and/or temperature monitoring on your system? Any info would be great, since there really is no info online about its temperatures.
