looking for a "small-ish" ATX case

so I was thinking of getting an ITX board/case but before I commit I'd like some suggestions for some of the latest cases that can handle an ATX board but yet still be kind of small.


I'm using a HAF 922 right now and its pretty big. If its kind of quiet that is also a big plus. I have 4 hard drives but I could cut that down to 3 (and only one optical).

Thanks in advance!
 
Rosewill does some cheap smallish cases, in the adequate catagory.
The Blackbone is on sale, cable management is poor, not sure the longest video card possible.
Redbone is the bottom mount power supply version.
Lian Li? Sentey?
 
this is what I picked while looking for a small ATX case but I wish I went ITX :(. you can call it the new Lian Li A05 (same dimensions) but it'll be hard to fit 2 video cards in it (GTX 670's will fit but GTX 680's won't) and cable management isn't the best.
 
PC-A05 is probably the smallest only because it's deep to compensate for the short height.
There are some cases around the 17" height dimension like the FD Core 3000 and the Corsair 300R. Typically though I've found that that's the shortest ATX case you're gonna find.
 
thanks guys

After looking them over I think I will stick to the original plan. New case/motherboard (ITX).
