I've looking at a mATX case for myself. It is going to house an aircooled 6600k. It will be overclocked to whatever I get on stock voltage.

I've narrowed things down to the following.

Corsair AIR 240
Antec P50
Thermaltake V21

Ideally, I want to get as quiet and as small as I can, while still cooling sufficiently. Have I missed anything out? Any other options for me to consider?
 
They are all cube cases, I assume that is intentional.

I'm looking for a cheap matx case actually for my nephew and the Thermaltake H15 seems to tick a lot of boxes.
Will you be running a dedicated GPU?

Yes, I quite like the idea of a small cube. I'll be running either a 960 or an R380 in the case.

Decided to go for the Antec P50

I was looking at the same ones and i would recommend the Thermaltake V21, the layout is very nice. good options for watercooling if you ever want to change in the future.

Corsair is just too bulky and the antec is on parr with the thermaltake, has options for optical drives however the case is 5mm - 10mm too small for graphics cards i have tried.
 
i went into the blue nerd smurf hi st shop to look at the corsair air 240 just to check it out...couldnt believe how cheap and plasticy it was....glad i went and had a look first
