Best Micro-ATX Case

I'm currently looking at the Silverstone TJ08 and the NZXT Zulcan Micro. Can anyone post any opinions of said cases or suggest an alternative option?

Cheers

tj08 is very good.

I like the Antec NSK3480, it's a shame you have to buy it with a bundled psu though.

A cheaper alternative to the TJ08 is the CoolerMaster Elite 341, both look very similar internally.

Are you looking for mATX mid-tower specifically, or media centre / low profile / cube cases as well? I personally like the Antec Minuet for a low profile desktop case, and the NSK1380 for a cube (although as I keep saying, it's just not as good a case as its predecessor, the Antec Aria ;) ). In the mATX towers Antec's Mini P180 tenhds to be very highly spoken of.

And yes, I am an Antec fanboi, but at least I know it :D

It's basically a micro-atx case to build an i5 based lan box inside :)

The Lan Gear Da Box 100:

As the CAT says, Da Box 100 is the gamers MATX cube style case, and incredibly small too.

Look into the InWin Dragon Slayer. Good cable management, full size video cards and PSU's

oooh i like da box and the mini itx one!

Have used the TJ08 and it's awesome :)

Depends on what you mean by best! :) (Appearance, value, performance etc)

There are some quite good cases here http://www.xcase.co.uk/ including some with mini ITX form factor. I have bought from them and there CS good - and they are will ing to chat. The range of PSU's they sell is limited and not a brand/make I recognise, so if you do buy from them, buy without the PSU.

But I wouldn't call it a LAN case, it's not that small or light...

Thanks guys :) Your posts make for some interesting reading and some thought is obviously needed

DaBox is the one I would go for.

I love my SGO3, no complaints whatsoever, the case temperature is awesome, no overheating, excellent airflow etc.

Here is a thread I made ages ago about my build.

Does that motherboard only support DDR3 up to 1.5v deluded guy?

Yup, according to the manufactures website...
