1) Slim case, width less than 188mm.. (Im fine with itx and mATX)
2) Have a slot for DVD-Rom
3) Able to fit a SSD and a HDD...
4) Able to have a GPU card... (Basic card)
5) Slots for Cooling fans for cooling purpose.. (No Nature Air Flow casing)

Actually not sure why you need such slim case. Is it because of space constrains?

If you dont mind something slightly bigger by 15mm more look no further than the Corsair Obsidian 350D.

Better finishing. Looks way nice. Yet small.

He meant bitfenix prodigy. They have the itx and mATX ver, but both are same dimensions.

Bitfenix Prodigy - itx
Bitfenix Prodigy M - matx

In Win BL series: 1 x 80mm fan slot but only offers low profile expansion slot


Silverstone GD series chassis: many 120mm/80mm fan slots, offers full standard profile expansion slots and ATX PSU

Ya... space constrian... Sharing a table with my wife... Trying to set 2 computers on it...

Im trying to see what type of slim case I can get, but if i decided to get a width of ard 180mm or more... Most likely I would go for Lian Li A04, PC-V360 or silvestone TJ-08E...

Personally I think the 350D is not really small for a mATX, its almost the size of a ATX case..

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.. :)

I bought 2 compact casings due to space constraints.
1. Silverstone sg02. Can try this with a simple setup.
2. Lianli pc-v354. U can use longer gfx card with this case

Both can use standard 5.25" optical drive

Both have small footprint

Im ok with long depth and height.. But the width is too wide..

it seems that the Silverstone GD series chassis is very wide, are you suggesting to make the casing "stand" up? Would that affect the airflow?
