ATX > MATX

Hi
I recently purchased a Corsair Carbide 200r and it is way too big for my liking.
I have a gigabyte z97 atx motherboard too so i can't switch to a matx case.
Is there any m atx cases out there that take atx motherboards or are they small atx cases available?
Thanks

Fractal Design ARC midi is a small ATX case i think, also has good airflow and support for 2x 140mm fans in the front

^ I just got the Fractal Arc Mini R2 and it's (405x210x484) basically the same size as the Carbide 200r (430x210x497), so the Midi will be even larger....

Just have a browse at all the cases you might be interested in, and check the dimensions to your 200r for a rough comparison.

That's about as compact as you can get in full size ATX cases that are easily obtainable and budget friendly.
Nothing to stop you using that case in a Vertical orientation if that's what you desire.

I've done similar things in the past.

Lian Li's PC-A05 used to be the compact ATX case favourite, but that's now end of life.
