What are the common options in SLS shops for slim matx casing?

Which shops tend to carry them?

This afternoon went down walk walk look look see see myself. The commonly seen one is Vios S607. Saw some mini-itx casings from InWin BK644 and BP655 and Cooler Master 110 and 120. TradePac, MyNextCom, Best Buy, Laser, Costronic and Bizgram have some casings on display outside their shops.

AIMS Resources like never open one leh. The door shutter always down.

Oh I wasn't aware. Thought they would open till 6pm or 7pm like most other shops. I dropped by SLS from 4pm to 5pm.

AIM Resources is at the backlane one near a T-junction right? I remember it is the first shop at a bend/corner.

I wasn't trying to squeeze it into a TV console. Have a matx board with only integrated graphics in a midi tower, so exploring options to reduce the casing footprint on my table. Hope this clears things up.

Btw, what is the series naming convention by In-Win?

What's the difference between the BQ, BM and BP series for their mini-ITX casings? And the same for the BL and BK series for mATX casings?

Anyone knows?
