Best micro atx desktop case?

[perdomot]

Just bought a new desk and my old full tower case is just too big so I've been looking around for a small desktop case with good ventilation and cooling for the hard drives. So far, I've been looking at the Silverstone Sugo lines and Lian Li PC-350 series and wanted some feedback on these or other good cases. Thanks.

Nobody using these cases?

I haven't used any of those, but I recently had been reading a lot about them. Those two, and the NZXT Rogue all seemed to get good reviews. I wound up going with a Thermaltake RS Wing 201, not micro, or a "desktp" persay, but it is pretty small, can fit matx/atx, and while it is a bit flimsy in a couple areas, it is pretty decent for $40 and keeps it pretty cool inside.

NZXT Rogue. It's not small (or light), but it'll be difficult to find another SFF case that beats its cooling / ventilation. It can hold a tower CPU cooler as well.

It's worth a look.

Not sure what sort of quality you are looking for, but for cheap:

I got this Rosewill case for another comp. Uses two 120mm fans. Small case, but still roomy because of its width.

It seems that new cases with a similar design have been added since I last checked, I don't know about the airflow from the front intake on those but on the case I got it is excellent.

That Rogue case looks like a great option for a DIY WHS box with all the internal drive bays.

I checked out the Rouge and its a great case but I have an issue with the hdds not having active cooling with a fan. Friend of mine has an X-QPack case and the two hdds which are in a similar position as the Rouge get very hot. The two cases I've been looking at have fans on the hdds to keep them cool.
