Gaming M-ATX case

Dodgy Bob · 9 Nov 2010 at 12:47

Hi all,

I move my gaming machine around quite a lot and would like a change from the midi-tower. So I was wondering if there was such a thing as a m-atx case that would take an ATI 5850 and was (preferably) made of plastic?

Bob.

nzxt rouge is also an option
as are the Silverstone Sugo's
X-QPACK2
lots of cube lan boxes at every price point

Have a look at the PC Design Labs QMicra V2.

The design on the top of the case makes it very easy to lug around, and it'll take full size graphics cards, and full size coolers, although a tower cooler might not be advisable if you are lugging it about). It has been designed to take a small watercooling loop, although my one has been modded to have two 120mm fans on one side, as intakes and two 120mm fans as exhausts on the opposite side.

antec p180 fits the bill space for long cards, good cooling,quite,great cable managment and a descret look but is not completely made of plastic (why do you want plastic anyway? ugghhh)
missed the first bit does not fit the bill but is an option..

I would recommend my Antec Mini P180 but it is a bit heavy to lug around!

Where do you actually get those from though? Everywhere I look reads 'out of stock'...

Antec P180's look pretty decent to me

Only issue with the Antec Mini P180 is that it's no smaller than a midi-tower, which the OP currently has.

Yeah the Mini-P180 really defeats the point of "small form factor".

Pity as it's quite a decent case, but Antec should have at least tried to make it smaller.
