Hi All-

I'm looking for a high end mid tower atx case that is less then 18" h x 10" w.

It needs to have good ventilation in the front and back as it will be blocked by a panel on both sides. It has to have enough room to support SLI as well.

I was looking at the NZXT PANZERBOX but it seems to be back ordered everywhere. Any other suggestions?

If a mATX mobo will be OK with you then Antec Mini P180 will be a good choice... Its dimensions are 17.1"(H) x 8.3"(W) x 17.2"(D)... just below your max specs...

Edit - A couple of cases to interest you... Silverstone TJ04 http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=tj04&area=usa (but no idea on its performance but its a silverstone)... specs are 8.5"(W) X 17.55(H)...
and
Silverstone KL-02 http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=kl02&area=usa... dimensions are 8"(W) X 17.2"(H)...
they both supports standard ATX boards...

I came across this also Rosewill TU-155 II 500 http://www.rosewill.com/products/s_1271/productDetail.htm
and
NZXT Hush http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/classic_series/hu001
and

Any of these would be good for what you need:

Antec 300 Three Hundred
Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced
Coolermaster Elite 330 Black
Antec 900 Nine Hundred
CM Storm Sniper Black
Xigmatek Utgard Black
NZXT Gamma Black

Yes 18"x10" is the max size I can fit... There aren't too many that are shorter then 18" high but the Antec 300 might work.

As for as budget anything less then $200 is fine.

Thanks for the replies.
 
This is a quality case, I own one, didn't know you could still get them, its 18.58x8.5

The Antec isn't the quality of the Silverstone but because it is that much newer and newer cases are focused on super cooling it will keep your components cooler, the SS will still do a good job the the Antec 300 is fridge like when ts loaded with fans, I own one of them also. :D

Quality and style the Silverstone, Plastic fridge and looks ok Antec.
