Phantek Enthoo ITX isn't even small to begin with.

ITX ≠ small

At 34 litres, it definitely crosses into mATX zone.

Though it is indeed a downsize from your 58 litres CM Enforcer, you should consider Silverstone Milo, Sugo series or Thermaltake Core V1 around 18~22 litres for a real and effective downsize.

Unless you are dead set with Enthoo's chassis design language...

I prefer to order online, so Silverstone Sugo SG08 and Thermaltake Core V1 will be better.
Any recommendation for CPU and mobo?
