Hello, if you saw my first post, I was thinking about getting a Matx case and build. Now I want to take it a bit further, and build something small and compact with the Mitx build in mind. I can't seem to come to a decision on what case I want to use. I have narrowed it down to three. The first one is the SilverStone Raven series RVZ01 found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The second case is the Corsair Obsidian series 250D: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The third and final case, is the BitFenix Phenom M Midnight Black: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The current build I'm going to use with one of these cases are:
CPU: i7 4790k Haswell
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII IMPACT LGA 1150 Intel Z97 Mini Itx
Power supply: CORSAIR HX series HX650 650W (For the 250D and BitFenix)
SILVERSTONE SFX Series SX600-G 600W (For the Raven)
Graphics card: I either want to use the 970 or 980.
Ram: Corsair Vengence Pro 16gb

Can someone that has experince in building Mitx cases give me a few pointers, or point me in the direction for something better?

as for maximum compactness.... the cooler master elite 120 is hard to beat as it is very compact but the others have some larger fans and a bit more space for larger coolers.

my vote would go for the 250d. i personally own the 750d and it works out fine. i've seen the 250d in person and its a pretty nice small case. i wish i had an excuse to build in one.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am leaning towards the 250D because I hear how well the other cases in this series are made. It's just that the other two look so awesome, that it is hard for me to decide. I'm not even sure that the Raven RVZ01 can hold a large graphics card, but its design is the smallest of the three and it is said to be able to house large graphics cards.
