Good morning sifus smile.gif
I'm planning to change my current casing (CM K280) to a smaller and plain-looking m-atx case (taste changed, like it small and simple now tongue.gif ).
So I'm currently eyeing on the Fractal Design Core 1000, do you have any other suggestion? hmm.gif
Budget <RM250 laugh.gif

Fractal Design Core 1000:
Awkward HDD positioning
Top mounted PSU - inhale hot air from CPU cooler & GPU
Single intake fan
Rear fan only fit 92mm which is rare / hard to find good one
Bad cable management space

But I also like the appearance...

Add few more RM to get Fractal Design Arc Mini R2...or see my previous post for cheaper option.

Thanks for the case interior analysis notworthy.gif But I don't really like the CM N200, cos the width is a bit wider (202mm vs 175mm) it looks fat tongue.gif
And I just found out SilverStone PS08 is quite affordable (RM129), is it good? hmm.gif

EDIT: Top mounted PSU taking in hot hair from CPU & GPU will harm the PSU? hmm.gif
