Smallest ATX case?

jac4593 · 26 Jun 2013 at 04:57

I'm wondering what my options are with smaller ATX cases, I'm currently sitting on an Antec P182 and looking for a new case.

Initially thought of another case the same size but I feel like the smaller the case the better it would be for me. Are there any cases out there *without* the front bay?

I will only need room for 2 SSD's in terms of storage so it seems like the front bay would be a complete waste of room, but I've never seen such a case :confused:

Edit: I guess something similar to this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-426-LL&groupid=2362&catid=2277

These are some of the smallest full size ATX cases you can get.
PC-A55A (W) 188mm x (H) 375mm x (D) 455mm
PC-A05FNA (W) 210mm x (H) 385mm x (D) 500mm (one you mentioned)

Another very small case I was unable to find on OCUK is the CM elite 360

Any reason for full size ATX? considered MATX?

GMC make a few R2-toast, R5-canon R7-troy (I have a R2-toast)
Very small at 180x420x380 - but cheap construction and not sold over here anymore.

I see where they got the name from, really does look like a kitchen appliance knowing my other half she would try dispensing coffee out of it.

Mainly because I want to keep my current components before upgrading CPU architecture next year.
