Hey guys

I'm looking for a new case that has decent airflow for an sli setup and is much smaller than my current storm trooper.

The cases I were looking at were

Corsair air 540
Phanteks enthoo pro
Corsair 450d

Must have a window and easy cable management
 
Doesnt look like a good airflow case

and not too fond of the design either, im edging towards the corsair 450D.

Would that match my storm trooper for airflow? thats the only thing im concerned about
 
When you say desk friendly case I'm guessing its gonna go under the desk not ontop?

540 is basically twice as wide but about half the height of most PC cases, if you've got a wide desk you're have no problem.

Got mine sitting under a Ikea Malm desk with plenty of room.

Thats the desk i'd ideally like to fit it on
 
Thats a solid wood desk i got! had it for 10+ years

I might just ikea a seperate small stand for my case :D
 
450D is the best case i have owned, i swapped out a storm trooper for it as well.

airflow is so much better, you can have 2x140mm in the front and nothing in the way of them. but as you know, the cm storm trooper can only have 120mm fans and has the horrid HDD rack system.

the 450D also supports two SSD sledges behind the motherboard tray and supports watercooling better.

the only downfall i found with the 450D was cable management behind the mobo tray, it lacks places to fix the cables to so makes it abit more tricky and time consuming.

hope this helps :)
