SPEC ME - small full atx case

widdyst · 21 Dec 2016 at 12:51

Hi all
Im hoping you can steer me in the right direction for a new case.
I am going to try and bag the 6700k bundle when it comes back on offer next week, But this will require me picking up a new case.
I currently have a matx setup in a carbide 240 and parts to be re used will be corsair 1200 psu, corsair h100i cooler and zotac 980ti amp (big card).
I am looking for the smallest / most suitable without being huge atx case to house my kit.
Its a while since i bought a case so not sure whats good and bad right now.
I do like the dual chamber design in my 240 where the psu and cables are in the back so if there is a design like this i would defo be interested
Dont want to go crazy on budget and would prefer under £100 BUT would pay more if it was something really nice.

Check out the Cooltek W2, which now comes with a glass side panel. Had one myself and it's a very premium case without being silly money. Compact but super easy to build in also due to the dual chamber design.

Phanteks Pro M is a good shout. Corsair air 540 maybe?

Really liking that with the tempered glass. Good size and dual chamber nice find thanks.
Size wise its hardly bigger than the carbide 240 just need to look into its cooling ability

I can speak from experience having owned one that it's an excellent case. Definitely beats anything else comparable in size. The Phanteks Pro M is a nice case, but obviously a bit bigger. Has the optical bay also which may not be to your liking (or need), but good case for the money no doubt. Personally, I'd have the W2 again though... I do miss mine, I only got rid because I went full custom and it's a bit tight for that. Sold it to a friend though so I still visit it occasionally haha!
