Looking for a New Case, Need help with size

man5000000 · May 14, 2015

Hi! Sorry if this is wrong place to put this, I could not find cases on the drop down menu.
I am fixing up a PC I built earlier this year, and want to choose a case that's right for me.
Here's the build so far:

I want either a white, black, or red case for this build. I have around 100$ to spend, but I NEED THE CASE TO BE 16 INCHES TALL OR LOWER. I'm looking for a reliable small case for my small cabinet.
Thank you!

Corsair 100R. Smallest ATX case they make

This one is a flat case so if you have more width than height it will work:

Since you have a lot of components that was the only one I could find!

Looks good for the case itself, but do you if you can remove the bottom rubber to make it shorter?
Thanks

Corsair 100r is 471mm tall which is over 16 inches unfortunately. It's a tricky one because you really need to be looking at mini itx cases, but your parts are those of a mid tower

My width is actually worse than my height, only have about 10 inches to play around with XD
Wish I had the skill to make a custom case, or they made any good Mini ATX Motherboards for SLI

this is the only ATX compatible case i can find that's 16" or shorter; it's a LIAN LI PC-A05FNB; measuring in a little over 15" high; 9" wide and 19" deep. I can't find another one that's even close to 16" or under. most midtowers clock in around 18", and apparently there isn't much of a market for smaller.

that aforementioned corsair 100R is 18" tall; like almost every other mid atx case

It says the height on this one is 19"...
And I know but if I can take off the rubber pieces it just might fit. The space I have is 17" but that is a very tight fit, especially if I'm moving it in and out for upgrades.

nope. correction, NEWEGG is wrong, they have the height and length mixed up.

the case is 15" tall and 19" deep.

that case will work for the OP

And here it says 17 inches tall

yes, apparently newegg is mixing up height and length on a lot of their cases. i was right about the LIAN LI PC-A05FNB; it is 15" tall, 19" deep and 9" wide

I thought i was going crazy for the minute there. i remembered this case because it has a funky front mounted psu, to allow for the shorter tower. So i was a little blown away when newegg claimed it was 19" tall, that would be taller then many "traditional" psu mounted units.
