Which Case

There are many many cases better for the same sort of price. The only thing you're gaining with those two is less depth, at the expense of everything else.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Lian Li PC-A04B Aluminium Midi-Tower Case - Black £82.99
1 x Corsair Obsidian 350D Micro ATX Case - Black (CC-9011028-WW) £75.95
1 x Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 High Airflow PC Case - Black (CC-9011070-WW) £69.95
Total : £228.89 (includes shipping : ).



And also the Fractal Design Arc Mini R2/Define Mini which are available elsewhere.
 
The Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 looks quite good but then so does the Phanteks' Enthoo EVOLV.
What is the price of the Phanteks' Enthoo EVOLV?
 

The thing about the Evolv and Mini XL is their size.
I was pretty much set on the Mini XL untill I actually started measuring it compared to my H440.
It's pretty similar if not bigger than the H440 which defeats the point of mATX.
Yes, it does allow a lot of WC options but if that's what your after, why not just go with the Enthoo Pro(full ATX) or other similar ATX cases?
The Evolv on the other hand is slightly smaller than the H440 which is a plus for me as I'm downsizing.
I'm looking forward to the Air 240 but may give it a miss depending how easy it easy it is to fit 2 240mm rads in there.
Also been looking at the TJ08-EW and the PS07 and it seems they're WC support isn't oine of the best.
Best of both world's would be the Arc mini R2 or 350D, or even the Define mini.
 
Atm i have a corsair carbide 200r and it is way too big for my liking which is the reason i want a small matx case. I don't water cool so that should make more options available.
Size, aesthetics and silence is main priority for me here.
Thats the reason i was looking at the bitfenix prodigy and aerocool ds

The evolv is just the right size for me, not too big or small. Just the waiting game is annoying.

The air 240 is too cheap looking.
 
Between the Aerocool Dead Silence Gaming White/Black Mini Tower Windowed and BitFenix Prodigy M 'Yang' MATX Cube Case - Black/White; which one would be the better choice?

Silverstone TJ08-E all the way.
I've built a lot of mATX rigs into this case.
Stealthy, compact and unobtrusive, it's still the best case in it's class.

I'd swap the AP-181 front fan though for a Phobya 180mm G-Silent if you want it whisper quiet.

Take a look through this build I did a few weeks ago.
Whisper quiet and powerful, gfx card is temp while I wait and see if the GTX 800's will power a 34" superwide screen.
