    I want a small case for a full ATX motherboard. It needs to be something that can go out of sight, and be easy to take to Lan's. And I already have all the parts to put in it, so MATX/ITX is a out of the picture, unfortunatly.


    I would quite like one of these 210 x 381 x 490mm

    But its out of stock.

    Has anyone got any ideas on a similar sized case?

    I considered this, as its cheap, and still not too big.

    The final option is a Scout. Quite a lot bigger 219 x 495.5 x 489, but would be very easy to take for a LAN.

    I'd be tempted by the last one, although it's bigger , having handles will make it easier to move about.

    The smaller they get the harder they are to keep cool, so bare that in mind.

    OK. This thread is reopened as SCAN informed me yesterday that the Elite 360 is now discontinued.

    Any other ideas?

    Buying a coolermaster instead of a lian li is like buying a honda civic over a rolls royce.

    Having owned an A05B i can say you are getting alot of case for your money, the quality is superb, you wont be disappointed. Although the price has crept up, i only paid something like £57 delivered when i bought mine last year.

    A05NB; lovely case from lovely case-makers. Amazon have them but they're brutally overpriced. Anyone else got any suggestions? Try e-mailing Scan to see if they'll be back in stock.
