MATX case with 5 PCI slots
I know the norm of MATX cases are to have 4 PCI slots.
I'm trying to locate one with 5, I've been eyeing the Coolermaster N200, mainly cos it's pretty cheap and compact.
But I really need 5 PCI slots.
I know the 350D has 5, but it's alot bigger and about triple the price.
I currently have a Arc Mini and it's been great so far, but I want something else now
Suggestions?

The 350D may be expensive, but it really is a very nice case.
If you are planning on having it around for 10 years+ the price is well worth it.
Re: MATX case with 5 PCI slots
Off hand the 350D is the only current mATX with 5 slots I know of, I think you're pretty much stuck with it.
Big question is why? the only reason I can think of is sli/crossfire, have you considered water cooling? not cheap but the Arc mini excels for water cooling in an mATX frame.

The 350D is not the only mATX with 5 expansion slots.

Thanks I was sure I'd seen another one at some point

It sounds crazy. But I managed to pick up a very cheap 460 with a waterblock for a crazy cheap price. So bought it for physx
So you're right
I wanted to have a gap between the cards
Re: MATX case with 5 PCI slots
Well then you could just cut the rear pci bracket down to a single slot as you'll not need the 2nd slot for venting.
Also with blocks you should only really need a single space between cards not a double space.

Forgot to say Thanks to AEGIS
I looked at that case but don't really like the front
