I'm looking to try and build myself a new computer soon, but I don't know what case to get. I'd like something small, so I was thinking mATX mini tower. I liked the RV05 tower, but I found a review video and it doesn't look so good.

I'd prefer a slim slot-loading optical drive slot, because optical drives are generally really ugly, and I'd rather put something together that I enjoy looking at. I'm planning on having a video card in their, so real small may not be the best option. I've looked into mITX, but most of the cases are those cube things, and they look kinda stupid to me. The RVZ01 was a nice mITX case, but I'd like more options.

EDIT: My current case is an ENERMAX OSTROG ECA3253-BW. The dimensions being 18.9" x 7.87" x 18.11". Please aim for smaller than this. Considerably smaller.

I do like this case. It looks like it will work well, and it has some liquid cooling options. My only problem is with the power and audio output. I have my computer pushed against a wall, with the window facing out. My desk doesn't leave much room for another option. Unless I find a workaround, this would be a pretty big detriment.

EDIT: The case is also barely smaller than my current case, an enermax. It's also wider. I'll put my current case in my main post.

me too .... I like the fact that they are on that side cause now I don't have to look at the wires. But it sits on a desk so I have like 1.5" between the wall and the desk which gives all the access I need. can leave headset on top of case and the wires hand gown between wall and case.

I don't know if you require an optical drive or if you need one. But this is an awesome mini ITX case. It is much smaller than your current case and has room for even the largest graphics card. Best part of all it's not a cube. Supports full sized power supply and 2 3.5in HDD's and 2 2.5in HDD/SDD. If you need motherboard recommendations for this case just let me know if it's going to be Intel or AMD and a budget.
