Hiya

Getting a bit sick of the size of my Antec P182, and I'm considering downsizing parts of my rig so it'll fit into a smaller mATX case. So far the Silverstone TJ08 is the current favourite but just wondering if anyone's had any experiences with other similar cases?

I'm not looking for a complete SFF solution. I have a ATX PSU to fit into it and a rather tall HSF in the form of the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 so a tower layout would be ideal.
 
TJ08, NZXT Rogue (issues with long psu's and some coolers), Mini180 (Not that small, but awesome cooling ability)...

I was on the verge of replacing my mini180 with a tj08, but its easier to upgrade (watercool) a mini180
 
Former TJ08 owner here. I don't think the Xigmatek will fit in it though if you install the mobo & cooler on the separate tray 1st though.
 
How about a Lian-Li V350?

Will take the PSU, and with a Scythe Mini-Ninja should overclock well. I've had 4GHz Orthos stable out of my E8400 with it.

The V350 is s great case, one word of warning the Mini-Ninja will need to be fitted with the mobo tray in the case other wise it won't clear the back of the case as I found out :o put in a couple of Noctau fans and you've got a nice quiet system.
