EDIT - it's an ATX !!

Hi all.

I'm looking to downsize my Corsair Obsidian into something, well, smaller.

Will be doing away with all the water-cooling gubbins and going back to basics.

I'm running an ATX motherboard but wondered if anyone had any suggestions / reccomendations for a small case which would take the mobo?

By small do you mean overall volume or any of the specific dimensions.

For example my Fractal Define C (same chassis as the meshify c) is overall volume pretty small for an atx case (check it's dimensions) with little on the way of vertical clearances. However cases like the 011 Dynamic are shorter because the PSU is not underneath the mobo but wider to accommodate it on the side.

Thanks both

I have (and old but adequate and perfectly working) x79 board and i7 3930 (currently watercooled but will swap to air-cooled) coupled with a 7900 and powered by a CX 850M PSU.

I am just after something a lot less obstructive than this huge thing sat next to my desk, so small, I suppose in dimension terms so long as the PSU and CPU cooler fit :D

Thanks guys

Will build my next system in Raijintek Thetis.
It fits ATX PSU, ATX motherboard, a large CPU cooler and a largeish graphics card in only 210 x 360 x 366 mm
