    Default Looking for small ATX case - any ideas ?

    Hello Gents,

    Due to interesting life developments I need to relocate to a smaller place and as a side effect I need to reduce the size of my PC to fit into said smaller home. I dont really want/need to change the internals but the case - a chieftec dragon mid tower - is way too big and heavy.

    So I need to find the smallest case that a normal ATX motherboard will fit into - also just to complicate things as I use a fairly powerful setup I would problally need to keep using my current PSU so it need to be able to take a normal PSU as some of these small cases have bespoke smaller PSU rated at 300 W or less.

    If I cant find one I may have to replace the motherboard with a mini or micro ATX but this is the last resort as I dont really want to spend a lot of money if possible.


    So
    - Smallest case possible (desktop, tower, anything)
    - ATX motherboard will fit (30.5cm x 24.5cm)
    - PSU standard size (or bloody powerfull 400w +)

    Any suggestions please ?
