Hello everyone, I have been looking for a very specific case and haven't found anything that works so I am turning to you.
I currently run a CM Stacker 830 evo case and I love the case; however, since I have sold a large amount of components out of it and travel with this case often I find that all the extra space is now being wasted. Now I am looking for a small case, and I have stumbled across a few I liked (namely Lian-Li PC-V354) but I have a ATX board which cannot exactly fit. I have looked at SilverStone cases and I do really like the idea of the motherboards being sifted 90 degrees but none of the cases really strike my fancy (I would prefer a cleaner looking case).

I am mainly looking for a case with as few 5.25 bays as possible (I sold all of my optical drives, I didn't want/need them) so I would definitely be interested in a case without any 5.25 bays. I also have 3 hard drives but I am willing to cut my backup out of it, so effectively I would need at least 2. I would also like to have the capability to Crossfire again so if possible I would like a case with enough space for two dual slot cards but this again isn't necessary.

The smallest case with decent airflow is what I want to obtain.
P.S. I also plan on moving to a H50 or H70, so that can be used in the decision.


Specs in signature.

Thanks for the help guys.
 
The Lian-Li PC-A05 comes to mind. Other than that, I can't think of any really tiny full ATX cases at the moment. Keep in mind that the A05 also doesn't have great airflow to begin with, but you can fix that with a bit of modding if you're up to it.
 
you could switch to matx board and use all your stuff and stuff it into like a thermaltake armor a30 case?
 
If I could sell my motherboard for a decent price to cover the switch to a matx board I would be fine with doing that.

I was just curious if anyone knew of a case without 5.25 bays that was small and innovative.
