Compact mATX case like this (or like ncase m1)

[Evan]

Anybody know of any nice presentable cases for mATX or ATX boards.
Focus also being of small size.

Like an ncase m1, but not currently in production

Bullet BH4 mATX Case - Customizable
And bh7 for ATX are possibles.

Would not mind 1 or 2 spots for 3.5" otherwise just looking for 2.5" mounting for half a dozen or so drives.

Anybody know of anything nice ?

That's suitably tiny
But I need to do some more research on cooling or maybe you know, can a 2u supermicro active heatsink work and is there otherwise enough airflow ?
Looking to cool something as large as E5-2680v4

I did see the case s like 'phanteks enthoo evolv matx' that look to have some serious cooling, tidy looking (but I hate and don't need windows), and not too massive with the reason being also available locally so no need for stupid shipping charges.

Hi. I hope you still haven't bought anything. This should fit exactly what you need.

Says it's mini-itx not mATX.
Having said that it's certainly a small case that's a Budget option compared to the ncase m1

Not got a case yes, in desperation I may use 1u for the systems as don't have to be on 24x7 so could make them portable in a rugged rack case (like used for music guys)

But does not help me for a 24x7 on in house system which is what I really want.

The other option is caselabs bh4 I guess.
Can't believe there is no small mATX cases that really work
