Really? - Are there no decent mATX cases ?

Any suggestions please ?

Must have good looks and good airflow - I'm stumped

Define decent?

Lian-lis are sexy. PC-V353, PC-V354 or PC-A04 would be my picks from them

Then there is Silverstone. The FT-03 looks nice and has great airflow.

And Fractal Design. I really like the Arc Mini.

I've spent all night looking at those and am much disappoint.

Isn't the FT03 kind of high ? The Lian Lis are really over priced.

I'm leaning towards the old SG03 and maybe modding it for better airflow

It is no higher than most ATX cases but takes up a fraction of the space.
Lian-lis cost a lot because they are ALL aluminium.

I don't really know what you want a case to look like tbh as the ones I listed cover pretty much all bases. I guess the SG03 is nice and small but why are you obsessing over airflow so much?

Think the arc mini might be a better option

WRT Airflow - I'm probably going to have a 2500k oc'd and a gpu in there so it's going to be fairly toasty - don't blame me - blame the guy I'm building this for :mad:

Silverstone Temjin TJ08B-E is what I will be using - 180mm Air Pentrator fan should put some nice airflow through the case. Not the smallest case around but will be nice downsize from my current tower.

I love my Arc Mini, good looks (in my opinion), airflow is decent as well (stock fans aren't great but after replacing/adding to them you will see good airflow). I'm planning on using a TJ08B-E soon, I think it looks awesome and that 180mm in the front should create great airflow.

I went for the Silverstone SG03-F as it was the smallest decent case I could find.

Lan Gear Da Box 100. That wasn't hard was it
