small case with good cooling

Hey Guys

I am in the process of building a desk for my office so I can move my rig out of the lounge. Problem is the case I have is the gigantic Silverstone fortress FT02 and the office is a VERY small space. So I need to be able to make the most of the space I have which is why I need to downgrade the size of my case. Can anyone recomend a smaller case which is good with cooling (the smaller the better, but still needs to fit an ATX mobo) Because of the space constraints I will probably go for water cooling as I suspect this will be a more efficiant way of cooling in a small space?

Any recomendations/advice would be appreciated.

The fractal Design C is smaller than most ATX cases and is good with air cooling.

In Win 303, lovely looking case and ideal for watercooling in a smaller case.

That Win 303 is nice, also on the look out for a smaller atx case for daughters build.

Hmm, Not really considered optical driveless chasis. I guess I could always get an external drive if I decided I really need one. Both nice cases though. Makes me wonder wether I should downsize to mini atx, never owned mini atx, would I be limited to what graphics card I could use due to size?

No limit to the gpu in the 303 and I went for an external drive for the few times I use it.

well thats a coincidence! just bought the latest issue of Custom PC and they are using the 303 in their sub £1000 8 core build! Think its an omen!
