Tired of my Antec 900 and its size, i want to step it down a notch. Something i can put on my desk w/o taking up 1/2 of it. I want to try and get a lil bit quieter and less lights :p while maintaining most of the "cooling"

Any ideas
 
Good choice. Gawdy, Immature cases can scare off dates and don't look professional.

You're going to sacrifice air flow though, no matter what... really.

Here are some cheap options:

I've owned this case, and liked it very much. The front air filter has an easy to remove, locking clip that is easy to clean. The air flow is decent too. Rosewill isn't a good name, but who cares... I would buy this case again

The lian li ao5b is very popular, has great build quality, looks professional, and is relatively inexpensive for a lian li case. The air flow isn't great, but it's also very small!

The cooling wont be too much of an issue. Last night i turned all the fans off minus the back one and my temps pretty much stayed teh same. CPU stayed @ 30ish and GPU @ 50ish. Onlything that concerns me is cable mang and GPU fitting
 
There's a SFF section here. If not so dramatic even though you just said "smaller case" the A05, apparently the smallest ATX tower to be found, is sworn by LL fanboys across this board who'll flame you to death if you think it looks poopoo.
 
Yah, the A05 is probably your best bet.

BTW, what'd you do with that Neo650?
