Hi All
Currently got a modded Silverstone TJ07 case, been amazing and best case I have ever owned however..........
time to down size.
Been out of the loop with cases over recent years but am looking at a small form factor, cube type case and wondering what the best options are.

It is to house my water cooling loop and the standard insides (however I have got the over sized Corsair Professional Series HX1000W Power supply)

What would you suggest?

It will house:
i7
Asus Sabertooth
6Gb Mushkin RAM
2 x OCZ Turbo SSD's
1 x 1TB storage Driver
1 x 6970
1 x Oversized PSU
1 x Xfi Titianim Sound Card

Swifttech apogee XT CPU Cooler
Lang D5 Pump
Either 2 x 120mm Rad or 3 x 120mm Rad

So you're looking for a case that can still house everything your current case can, but be smaller than your current case....

Depending on the Rad thickness, the only case I can think of that would handle what you want is the CM690ii (that's also smaller.

The Corsair 650D can house a 240 slim in the roof, and a 200m in the front though, although I think that requires you removing the HDD cages (can't quite remember though so may be wrong...)

It clearly covers it for that case:
- Maximum Compatibility: VGA Card length: 300mm / PSU length: 140mm / CPU cooler height: 105mm

Lian Li in general also have similar specs for all their mATX cases on their site.

Maybe take a look at this:

Maximum Compatibility VGA Card length: 350mm PSU length: 220mm CPU cooler height: 125mm

It will fit your PSU, but it might be an interesting challenge fitting in WCing, or finding a CPU cooler that fits, even the Noctua NH-C14 would be a struggle:

im currently working on my own lian li v354 and it will take 3 seperate 120mm rads, its a really nice case to work with can mount 2 2.5 inch drives in the base and with some careful placement should be able to get the 3.5 inch in there. also on a side note the best matx board for 1366 is the rampage 3 gene
 
Ok thanks

SO are you saying that the v354 will house a dual 120mm rad ok in the front?

I am only WC my CPU so will the GPU have enough airflow in one of these small cases?
