Case recommendation - 19" tall or less

[MrDudeMan]

I really like the Fractal R4, but it's over 20" tall so it won't fit in my desk. The maximum height I can deal with is 19".

ATX size mobo
2-3 hard drives max
1 optical drive
smallish video card
at most 1 PCI-E add-in card

I'm not very concerned about cooling because the PC is not overclocked and the video card is either going to be integrated or low power. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. I've been browsing newegg for 30 minutes and I can't seem to find one I like.

If you care about USB3.0 front ports the Corsair 300R is a good deal when on sale (under $60). But it's 19.1" tall, so I am not sure if that 0.1" is too much for you.

Good find. It's 19.1" long, not high, so this may work great.

L x W x H:

19.1" x 8.3" x 17.7" (19.1" x 8.3" x 18.5" with feet)

If you like the R4, you're in luck since the Arc Midi is only $70 right now. It measures 18.11" tall.

Arc midi for just $70 is awesome. Includes 3x140mm fans and a pci slot fan controller

However, for your needs you could basically go with the smallest decent ATX case, e.g. Antec One $45 AP shipped. 17.2" tall
