porting over to micro atx

[chong]

other than FT-03, any matx casing WITHOUT drive bays?

like the node 304, but that's itx. i havent used my drive in... 3 or 4 years?

I was looking for the smallest matx case that could squeeze in beastly gfx cards and cpu hsf. The closest I found was the SG09:

It has a hole for a slot-in optical drive though. I found the front of the SG09 ugly, so waiting for the SG10 instead.

I am planning on the same thing, moving my current rig, (Yeah Q6600, still running), into a mAtx casing, of course price is my number 1 concern, below 75 dollars in total plus the additional fans.

Short list a few of them based on local pricing
1. MS 120 ($62) OR 140 ($59)
2. Fractal Design Core 1000 ($59)
3. CM Elite 344 ($59)

I had ask nigel for his opinion on the 3 of them and he had recommend the Fractal Design Core 1000. There is quite a number of extensive review online on this model. Based on the price i think Core 1000 is our best value for matx casing one can get locally.

What you guys think? Hope i can find my answer in this tread also

Fractal Design Core 1000 is good to go ONLY IF the chassis is going to be located on desk left edge as the I/O ports and buttons are on the bottom right corner of the front panel facing the right side. It only crowns the quality segment.

Sharkoon MS140 is going to best it with identical interior construction.

IIRC, around June? But not sure how long it will take to release in Singapore.

Usually 3-4 weeks after announced worldwide release.
