Small quiet budget ATX cases for i7-4790k
Are there any recommended budget cases that will fit an ATX motherboard which are quiet? The only thing in the case will be the i7-4790k (using the integrated graphics) with a cooler master hyper evo 212 cooler, ATX power supply (though I could get something smaller potentially), and a SSD. The smallest case on the SPCR recommended list is the Antec Solo II at 40 liters (vertical case) or Silverstone GD01 and LC17 HTPC at 31 liters (horizontal case) and Antec Fusion Remote Max at 38 liters (horizontal case). In general I prefer vertical cases but I am open to other suggestions.

Solo II is a solid choice.
Another that its on sale atm is the Fractal Design Define S Silent Computer Case $69.99, that was reviewed also by SCPR Fractal Design Define S Tower Case.

Thanks for the recommendations. Isn't the Fractal Design Define S Silent the same size as the Define R5? I have that case now and need to find something smaller.

You want smaller in ATX? Antec Solo II will probably be a small as it can be with the standard layout.cycleback wrote:Thanks for the recommendations. Isn't the Fractal Design Define S Silent the same size as the Define R5? I have that case now and need to find something smaller.
If you want smaller the only way would be a case that has the PSU not below the Mobo, thus allowing a smaller height overall (the height you save is the PSU height), Lian li is a brand that does this type of cases, from what i remember the the LIAN LI PC-A05 A and PC-A51 were the one that use this style of layout, i leave you a couple of videos for you to see if thats what you are looking,

I cant seem to find it too easy, i believe the new iteration is the LIAN LI PC-A55B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case.
