I am currently looking to find a case for migrating my current pc over from a full size ATX board to a micro-ATX (which I have already bought and have listed below in my specs). However, I am trying to find the smallest case possible, probably under 12 inches if possible. Here are the two cases I have so far found:
1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811144314
This first case does fit all my parts as I have researched, including the EVO 212 (PC part picker was unable to determine it, but I found a video online with someone using it in their case). However, it still is approximately 14 inches in height, which is kind of large for what I am looking for.
2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163226&cm_re=sugo-_-11-163-226-_-Product
This case is, in my opinion, the best one I have found to fit my needs, although I have realized that my EVO 212 will not fit. I know that I'll have to change out the heat-sink, but which one should I get in terms of performance, price, and reliability if I were to go with this case? Also, does anybody have any idea on the air-flow and overall cooling of this case?
If not these, any further suggestions?
