Hi, i'm currently building my first PC and wanted some quick case advice. I was planning on getting a full tower case for better cooling and easier installation, but noticed that all of the sexy cases are Midi ones. Will I be compromising much on cooling and installation getting a slightly smaller case?

The switch 810 is much better and basically the same styling though.

Not really...


What cases you can use depends on what form factor you settle on. What form factor depends on what stuff you want to mount to it, for example how many graphics cards do you want? How big a CPU cooler do you want? How much RAM do you want? How many HDDs/SSDs do you want?
 
All the stuff i'm putting in it is in the thread I linked above. I might crossfire later on when I need it as I might have multiple monitors in the future. I'll only need a few HDD slots (only one right now, but it's safer to have room in case I fill up 2TB) I'll be using a stock cooler for a while but obviously if I end up overclocking it'd be nice to have room for a bigger one.
As you can see, a lot of what I need is in the future because I don't have the money for a load of extras right now. This is why i'm a bit cautious about buying a smaller case, I want it to last.

PS I meant the apollo, not the phantom. The phantom was the one I was going to buy initially.
