Please recommend me a solid built case that takes an E-ATX motherboard?

Hi guys,

My motherboard had become faulty so I've ordered a replacement that is now an E-ATX, so please can anyone recommend me a really solidly built case to take this motherboard, things to consider:

* Not too big a case please, this has to sit on a smallish table (my current case is the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass ATX which is just a tad too small)

* Price approx £150

* Gun metal colour or white will be great, but black is ok

* Needs to take a 360mm AIO CPU cooler

Thanks guys

It will. Isn't this like your 360mm AIO cooler?

Fractal Design R6 will take EATX boards up to 284mm, Rampage VI extreme comes in at 278mm and don't know too many bigger boards then that. Currently only black is around, but there is white and gunmetal versions landing soon I believe (sorry not sure how to do that fancy formatting so only got links)

Also some options from Phanteks which support 360 Rad no issue with plenty more to spare under £150 starting with Phaneks Pro in white: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-enthoo-pro-mid-tower-case-with-window-white-ca-016-pt.html

Next step is the Luxe in white : https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-enthoo-luxe-midi-tower-case-white-ca-005-pt.html

The Luxe TG in gunemtal is a notch over your budget at £160, but is a looker: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-enthoo-luxe-glass-midi-tower-case-gun-metal-ca-066-pt.html

Excellent thanks, I'll check them all out, though the Luxe TG is looking good so far

The NZXT case is the best looker.
