Hello,
I don't know wich micro atx case should i buy.

The bitfenix collossus, the phenom and the prodigy seems to be good.
And the corsair 250D and the 350 seems great too.

Is there one case better than the other or it´s just about the look ?
Why the collossus is the most expansive ?

Look @ my signature...that is my build. the 350D is a great size and you can still SLI with the maximus gene vii. Understand that with SLI the cards on the board are going to be pretty much right on top of eachother so you'll want to look into great cooling options for the cards..especially if you're planning on heavy gaming and overclocking them.

if you're getting a maximus gene vii its not an ITX board anyway..so I'm not really sure why you even mentioned ITX.

here's a gretty hefty build in the 350D

It's mainly more a 'look' thing. So it's a personal choice.

Practical considerations - what you want to put in it? Big graphics card - lots of heat - need a bigger case with good cooling. Water cooling?

You can always use a mid tower ATX case. It'll take a mATX mobo too.

I want micro atx case ( not a atx, i'm sure ) wich can handle :

- an Asus maximus VII gene
- 2x4go of Ram
- Seagate desktop ssHd 1to
- Samsgun SSD 840 evo 120Go
- Intel core I5-4670K
- Gtx 770 or a 780 ( still did'tn choose )
- And maybe Corsaire RM 750W

I want the possibility to upgrade to a SLI in the future. Just in case.
And a good sound card ( the chip of the maximus seem good )

your setup is similar to mine...and I have the 350D and love it.

Plenty of room, great cooling once you setup some extra fans.

The 250D is an ITX case, not a mATX case so you cannot use that one..although its a nice case as well I used it for a SFF build at the office.

Oh 250d is an itx case , ok. ITX have only 2 ram slot and can not handle a SLI, and this upgrade may be useful in the future, no ?

350D isn't kind of big for an mATX ? 210 x 450 x 440 mm? The collosus is 250 x 374 x 330 mm.

I got difficulty to choice the case.
The 350D is a little big for a mAtx but seems to have a better ventilation.
And The collossus M has a realy interesting size !
