I'm basically in two minds atm, I love my mini p180 but with it comes limitations... For instance I want to upgrade to a full atx board and take advantage of bulldozer when it comes out but at the same time I love the size of my case and the cooling efficiency it provides.

Is there any new cases that are similiar to the antec mini p180 but around about the same size? Not interested in fractal cases, built a system for my brother using the R3 and the build quality was shocking!
 
Not too big.... I want something sturdy like the Liam li's but a small
Mid tower that's no bigger than a mini p180 that can fit atx boards. Wouldn't mind removeable HDD cages too.

I know I'm being picky but I'm a perfectionist lol.
 
Liam li a05? I see there's a few variants for this case, what's the difference? Quick summary please :)
 
I think the a05b doesn't have vented pci slots and some other things too, the a05nb has vented pci slots ad other things, and there is a new model that is coming out with the motherboard tray the right way up with a 140mm fan slot in the roof
 
The latter sounds so much better, I wouldn't mind a too blow hole for extra cooling. Also it says in the spec that 270mm max gpu card length... I'll need to measure the GTx 570 I have to see if it will fit :S
 
Err, I don't know. I had a Lian Li 1200 and they are around the same size, but the FT02 is much heavier and sturdier.

I'll have a look at reviews and see then, would be better if I could see one in the flesh. Someone post pictures maybe of your rigs?
For a small atx case, you could get an antec skeleton

I do like the skeletons but I don't like the idea of an open case since I'm all for sound dampening.. Another reason why I got the antec mini p180 Aswel. Think I should have put that in my first post sorry :(.
