As the title says, I'm looking for opinions on the smallest case that will fit my hardware, keep it cool, and show off some or all of my hardware XD

Asus Maximus V Gene Micro ATX
Corsair AX1200i
I7 3770K
Noctua NH-D14 Cooler
Dual Asus GTX 690's in SLI
32GB G Skill Trident X 2400
1 1TB 3.5" HDD to accommodate
SSD expandability expected (Currently using 128GB MSATA for OS)

I may also switch to the Corsair H100i cooler if it helps fit everything and maintain over clock-ability.

I'd say hands down the NZXT H440. Especially since you don't have a DWR:

Actually I just forgot to mention the 1 optical drive I have in this build. However, after seeing the sleekness of the H440 without one, It would be worth the trade-off. As sexy as the H440 appears, I'd have empty unusable expansion bays and I feel there should be something very similar in the M-ATX form factor.

The H440 is pretty much the same size as my old Thermal Take V9 the build currently resides in. My original reason for changing wanting to change out the case was to make the machine more portable, improve airflow if possible, and to gain some USB 3 ports. The radiator support and cooling capabilities of the mentioned H440 alone now have me thinking about ditching my DVD drive and portability. Then again I could get the corsair 350D and fit everything (regardless of it's specs, I've seen the ax1200i fit in one), but it doesn't have the same visual appeal to me as the H440. I'd really like a mini tower though. Any one else have a suggestion? I'd like as much input as possible.
