Just like the title says. Im trying to find a pc case that will fit a full ATX motherboard, unfortunately i need it to be under 430mm tall, 400mm would be ideal.

I idealy dont want to spend more than £100. But please let me know if im out of touch with case costs.

im looking at sticking a 3070 in it when they are available. so id like it to be able to fit full size GPUs, and be air cooled.

If this isnt possible, the height thing, i think ill have to look at changing motherboard and everything and in that case could someone recomend a good mobo. I dont think ill by overclocking anything, and more usb 3.0s the better.

Many thanks.
Brian.

A couple I can think of:

- Raijintek Thetis
- Lian Li O11 Mini (you need a SFX PSU)
- Coolermaster Q500L

I owned a Thetis, it looks brilliant but has unconventional cooling - that being said, it can adquately cool components it just won't be as good as lets say a Meshify C.

Are there any more suggestions?

The Thetis looks interesting, but there seems to be issues with the PSU cabling and GPU interfering with each other.
Id be all over the Lian Li 011 Mini but trying to find a 750 sfx psu is proving difficult.
A lot of the Coolmaster Q500L review talk about it being very hot, Ovenmaster being used at some points.

Thanks again.

As long as your PSU is 140mm (as was mine) - you won't have any issues with cabling. Here's some pics of my old one:

The other one I can think of is the Sliger Cerberus X - which is absolutely amazing, but the case is expesnive and you need an AIO really.
