What are some of the more popular mATX cases available in SG or have delivery to SG? I looking for one that can support 2x 3.5, 2x 2.5 minimum, no need any 5.25 space, and must be small. When I say small, I don't know how to be more specific, just want it to be smaller than an ATX case.

key factor usually is : going IGP or powerful GPU? If the latter usually have to take into account how long GPU can fit inside the case loh?

I am aiming for an AMD Fury, and if the case is really nice and I really want it, I'm willing to get a Fury Nano.

worked with some really small casings - for discrete GPUs even can fit the default cooling CMI so may need to use cable ties/etc to mount 120/140mm if possible :s13:

Got case to recommend? Ideally can fit a typical Fury (non-X), don't think I'll be using one of those coolers with a sealed loop, just gonna use a normal hsf.

Have one mATX overseas had issue with those GTX Gigabyte Windforce cards.. not length wise but height .. cannot close lol Later i at home measure the casing again ^^ Fury non X might be an issue buy Nano think most mATX casings happily accommodate bah ^^

Any specific dimension restrictions as to how small the casing u want, in terms of the L x W x H? :o

What is the usb 3.0 usb header like ah? Can plug onto mainboard right? I a bit traumatized by my 650D one which is basically a pass through behind the case to plug into the back. :s22:
