Down sizing from the Corsair 650D

[_Jimlad_]

looking for a new case, something a tad smaller than the 650D but ideally with a top loading socket for adding on the fly drives as i do this a lot with my job

any recommendations ?

Ever thought of using one of those Sharkoon Disk docking stations? Then your PC case options are a lot more open.

Should it still fit ATX motherboard and what is the cooler height restriction? 3.5" and 5.25" requirements? There are cases that include slide in HDD hot plug slots mounted on a 5.25"/3.5" slots, is this an option and have you considered it?
