good case?

It's a good case but it's just as large as many ATX cases out there. Hence why I generally don't recommend it for those looking for a SFF case.
 
Im thinking about buying this too. Does anyone know if it will fit in a sugo pack?
 
The case is less than an inch shorter than an antec 300, wider, and an inch less from front to back. It's a mid tower pretending to be a high end matx tower. It's nice but not small.

I Agree its large for a mATX, but feature wise the antec 300 is not on par.

To compare it to a p182 this is 4 inches shorter .2" wider & 2" shallower. Still not a hell of a difference considering that the p182 is a mid tower atx.

That being said if the build is in mATX because you need it to be small then thats probably the wrong case. If however your doing mATX because you dont need the extra space from a regular ATX, but could do an atx if you wanted then this is a good case..
 
i liked it because it doen't looked cramped, but if its that large i'm not sure its what i want either. i was looking at the lian li v351.....but i'm worried my 5850 will not fit in it.

i could use some more suggestions on sff cases. but remember i need to get a 5850 in there,and at the least a 650 watt psu(atx). so what do you guys recommend?
 
So I Dont own a v351, but I believe that you can fit a 5870 in there.. Or a GTX 295. So either way the 5850 should be fine with whatever atx psu you want.

I think it will actually hold the length better then the p180
 
Yeah, one of my biggest gripes about SFF builds is that nVidia and ATI insist on making the video cards longer and longer. Its not helping the SFF gaming segment. The 5970 is about twelve and a half inches long. Granted its a high high end gaming card but nVidia and ATI really need to figure out how to get their products micro sized down. I just feel they are going in the wrong direction with bigger and better technology. They need to put more effort into smaller and better technology.

Even more so with Intel pushing mini-itx. They need to get on board before laptops take it all over...which is pretty close to happening now.
