Hi,

I'm looking for suggestions on a compact full ATX case...

A mate of mine currently has a Corsair 600T (590mm L x 265mm W x507mm H) and is struggling for space, so we've been looking for a replacement. Smallest full ATX case we can find that is relatively understated, has good cable management and noise suppresion features is the 'Fractal Design Core 3000' which is 480mm x 200mm x 430.

Anyone got a better suggestion?
 
Lian Li A05. Nuff said tbh :). 210mm x 381mm x 490mm.

No noise control built in but you can get specially designed noise blocker panels for the case.
 
how much to spend? would compact footprint be OK?

Lian Li PC-A05N is really compact, but a simple design and a clean build may require some effort (I have this case and like it a lot)

Lian Li TYR X500FX / X2000F / X1000 / X900 all small footprint, but tall (and painfully expensive)

Silverstone RV03 is reasonable small footprint for ATX, but the looks are questionable.
 
"struggling for space" I guess you mean in this room / desk

210mm x 381mm x 490mm (W x H x D) - LL PC-A05NB
425mm x 170mm x 425mm (W x H x D) - Silverstone SST-LC17B
420mm x 116mm x 310mm (W x H x D) - SST-LC04B-300 (SFF psu and riser cards)
170mm x 420mm x 328mm (W x H x D) - JMC R2-toast (but it will need a lot of easy mods)

Thanks for the suggestions!

Some of the lian li cases look nice, I've sent some links to my mate, will see what he says...
