I have decided to do a mid-cycle refresh on my computer and have decided I want to go with small form factor system. You can see my current setup in my signature. My goal is to keep my proc and ram, and switch to a mATX motherboard and go to a smaller case. I like the size/shape of the short/squat towers that allow a mATX motherboard to lay on the bottom. I have looked at many on Newegg and Amazon, but I have only found a few options that meet 3 specific criteria:
1) Short/squat form factor (I wish it had a name to ease searching)
2) Will fit my current (large) Seasonic power supply
3) Has space for a 120mm fan for my Corsair H60 water cooler.
The options I have found are:
Apevia X-QPACK-NW http://www.amazon.com/Apevia-Aspire...35Z6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331613509&sr=8-1
Apevia X-QPACK2 http://www.amazon.com/Apevia-X-QPAC...2962/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1331613509&sr=8-4
Aerocool M40 http://www.amazon.com/AEROCOOL-M40-BK-Steel-Black-Retail/dp/B001DQY6BE
Aerocool Qx-2000 http://www.amazon.com/AEROCOOL-Qx-2000-EN52863-Steel-Retail/dp/B003B8LZ5C
Currently I am leaning towards one of the Aerocool's because I think the fold open top will be easier to work on. Are there any other cases I am missing/should consider?
Thanks in advance for any help!
