Micro ATX suggestions

cliffo88 · 3 Jan 2015 at 22:21

I was planning on buying a Corsair Air 240 for my new build but the Palit Super jetstream 980 I bought won't fit in it it seems.

Any suggestions on another Micro case? Will need decent airflow as the GPU isn't reference, but still small, smaller than a midi anyway.

I like the look of the 350d and the Fractal Arc Mini R2 but can't decide on these. (anyone chime in on these?)

I like a fairly 'sleek' (plain/boring:roll eyes

look, nothing too flashy or 'gamery'.

Ideally I'd like a window.

I already have an X99 micro board, the cpu will be cooled with a H55.

So if anyone has any they can recommend, then please share!

Thanks

I have an original Arc mini and it's a great case compact but plenty of room to work in.You could also consider the Define mini it the same as the Arc just with a door and the noise isolation foam.They are slightly larger than an average matx case but makes life so much easier

Both look like well designed cases, I like the fact the Silverstone is smaller and the reverse motherboard design would show off the graphics card quite nicely!

The Arc Mini R2 is bigger, but does look nicer...time to look up some builds in the Silverstone I think.

Got any pics of yours inside Apem?

Have you had a look at the Aerocool DS range?

Just have, the DSL cube looks great, I love the horizontal mounting of a micro ATX board.

I'll look for some reviews.

Thanks.

Yeah I like the Aerocool DS cube but thats front HD rack looks like it blocks a lot of air flow.
