SFF usually = m-ATX or smaller.

BUT...someone did manage to mod an ATX board in the the XQBOX long time ago... with the PCI Slots etc facing the side instead of the back.


anyway, u wan small case with atx board u should take a look at Lian Li V600 or Lian Li A05.


u could also check the XQBOX ATX HTPC cases HERE

have u tried taking a look at what lian li has to offer?

i prefer them over silverstone's steel cases


the PC-P50 has been catching my attention lately and is being sold for RM699 HERE

u can also use that thread to check out prices....though unfortunately theyre a lil expensive as theyre the new distributor prices...

the old distro which was ATE was actually cheaper....u might still be able to get from ATE in lowyat plaza...but itll most likely be last stocks...theyre still the place to go for Lian Li though

dont limit urself to the PC-P50 (though i find it to be a good case, especially with the 100% tool-less installation)

go to the thread i linked and see the cases within ur budget and google them for reviews and judge for urself...

there are other lian li sellers in garage sales...u can use their threads to check out prices and models as well


oh....n check out lancool k-62 as well....based on the P50 but with a better HDD cage....and about half the price....unfortunately, its steel.

K62 is a TRUE tool less case...even mobo screws oso tool less...

and the PCI slot tool less design is so far the only one that TRULY works. the rest all doh.gif

as for handle...even if i move the case around alot...i still wouldnt be bothered with the handle..

and all black=win

give exact numbers for budget

"not too expensive" is NOT an indication of budget.
