Yup, Cooler Master ATCS 840, good choice, removable mb tray.  Corsair Obsidian 800D, very big, but looks too "sedan"  |

Due to lots of traveling, now thinking of getting a smaller atx casing, actually i am a fan of ah lian a05 until i read about the casing having air flow(heat) prob. However, they said the prob can be corrected by modifications with i am not going to do cos lack of skills and tools.
so now some most important criteria for my casing is the dimension (not bigger than a05 in term of volume), then the net weight must be less than 5.5kgs.
after searching around, i found some alternatives using A05 dimension as my guideline (39,200cm3 )
1) xigmatek asgard (35,830cm3)
2) thermaltake v3 (38,640cm3)
3) CM elite 335 (37,132cm3)
can anyone comment about the quality of the trio? besides, feel free to recommend other casing that might suits my needs

I found my current HTPC fan noise level are pretty annouying. hence 1st step i did is changed the CPU heatsink and fan to fanless CPU heatsink (CM gemini II). Now CPU temp ~ 35C and MOBO~45C.
im no expert and need some recommendation to choose a casing for my HTPC considering silent is priority and running with typical temp for both CPU and MOBO.
Some shop had recommended me to go for CM sileo 500 for dead silent and silverstone KL01 for cooling. Please advice ... my budget limited to 500rm.

Silverstone raven rv01 can attach 1x 360 radiator at the rear, but in your case u want 2 360s.... I think, Corsair Obsidian 800D, will fit most, 1x 360 at the top and another at the bottom.... |
