Spec me a case

[Alexrose1uk]

Hi Guys,
Looking for recommendations here because the range is a bit mind boggling.

I've done a bit of parts scrounging, and filled the gaps, and managed to put together a relatively nice HTPC. The trick is that the old Antec Sonata II case it's in is just a little bit too big for the room it's in.
(42.5cm H x 46.3D x 20.6W)

Ideally, I'd like a case that'll take an M-ATX motherboard, an ATX PSU and ideally, the Gelid Tranquillo cooler (which I believe is 153mm high, so perhaps ~17cm wide to account for standoff), and be as small (with ok airflow) as possible.

Given our room aesthetics, white would also be a bonus.

The machine doesn't need much in the way of 5.25"/3.5" drive bays, as I'm running the OS off a USB stick, and it will only have a maximum of one DVD drive. Additionally the machine only uses one PCI-E card for graphics/HDMI capability.

Am I going crazy or wasn't there another thread with this exact same question? Anyway, my suggestion of the Fractal Define Mini still stands. It does come in a white version too but having the seen them both first hand the black version (which I own) looks sleek and elegant while the white looks cheap and plasticy due to the differing materials on the front door.

Yes there was, apologies.
I started this thread, then realised realistically, it'd probably be better in case central.

Thanks for your feedback guys

Krooton, I have indeed looked at that case! My other half quite liked it. Only downside is it's still about the same size as the Antec. Colour might win her over though.
