Short ATX case?

[generalv]

It seems I'm needing to find an ATX case that is a little shorter than normal. The computer shelf on my desk only has 16 1/4 inches of clearance, or about 410mm I think. All of the ATX cases I can find are too tall by about 1/2 inch. Anyone know of a case that would fit? I would prefer the color to be black also.

LIAN LI PC-A05B Black - Case uses a reverse airflow design and has 2x 120mm fans for good ventilation.

If you decide to pursue the A-05 route, here is some reading.

If you don't like the reverse airflow of the PC-A05B, Lian-Li also makes the PC-A59B. It has front-to-back airflow but also has the power supply over the CPU, restricting your CPU-heatsink choices. There is also the PC-V600B (upside-down ATX) and the old-school PC-3077 (all-drive-bays front).

Yes, I favor Lian-Li.

Cool, thanks. I hadn't really looked at Lian Li because they are typically too expensive, but that one isn't too bad.

Another vote for the A05, love mine.

Get the A05. You won't regret it. I recently build a computer for a friend using this case. Truly simplistic design and it's compact. You get a touch of elegance in a compact design. If I could sell me antec 900, I would get this case. Cable management is doable too.
