Can anyone recommend a small ATX tower case, no PSU needed

davejm · 29 May 2007 at 13:21

I'm looking for a small ATX tower case, no PSU.

I'll be fitting a mATX motherboard, but I have a decent Antec ATX PSU ready to put in there, hence I don't really need a big case... something nice and compact - and stylish.

Any recommendations?

I'd say a Silverstone Sugo - beautiful case.

davejm · 29 May 2007 at 13:40

Yeah really like the look of those...

I should have mentioned though, I'm looking to spend no more than £40 really.

Silverstone TJ-08, far more room than a Sugo, and can use a larger CPU HSF. Better cooling than the Sugo too.

That's a Ninja! However with it fitted the 3.5" bays are blocked, you'll have to fit hard drives in the 5.25" bay.

I don't really need any room at all in the case. There'll be a mATX motherboard (with onboard graphics, audio, LAN etc), 1 H/D and 1 DVD drive. I'm just looking for a cheap case that will house all of that, and fit my ATX Antec PSU.

Compact and good value... i'd say the Akasa Zen fits the bill.

In WHITE or BLACK (although 'black' is out of stock!

) - your choice!

Akasa Zen is great value for money and looks rather good in the flesh

Lian Li PC-A05.

Doesn't look bad, if it floats your boat, go ahead.

As mentioned the gigabyte case or the zen, both nice cases depending on your taste.

davejm · 29 May 2007 at 16:50

I'm split between the two tbh, although preferring the Gigabyte one slightly... and it is in stock (just).

I would go for that one myself aswell out of those two, the xen is nice but it does have this slight mac-rip about it. Still, it's a nice case, the Gigabyte just looks more original.
