got a z11 case but needing to downsize , as the wife is moaning, its either a new case or sadly a new wife ha!

but seriously im looking for the smallest case to fit a
z87 mobo with stock cooler
and a r9 270x gpu,
is it possible, not fussed about opticle drives etc
and i dont overclock so hopefully wont need much space for airflow

thanks guys

trying to keep costs down to a minimum, i doubt it would be cheaper to change board and case as to just the case

That's about as small as it gets in Full size ATX on a budget.
No reason you can't use the case in a vertical orientation, I've done similar things in the past.

As legion posted if your needing to use your current components, then that type media housing case is your only bet. ATX is still quite large so you'll need some space.

Obviously you can get some really nice smaller cases nowadays, small form super powerful pc's is where it's at if you ask me. But it will cost you more that way.
