Looking for mini tower

[imported_Irse]

I would to know if there is a mini tower that will accept an ATX board and have an intake fan, a rear fan and a fan on top of the case. All fans being 120mm. I have found mini towers with front and rear fans but I will be using a Corsair H50 for my CPU cooling and it will use the rear fan. I would like some of the heat to go out the top. Is my thinking off or will the front and rear fans be good enough? Thanks

Antec 300? How "mini" do you need it?

I guess as small as possible with the fans I want. I don't know what is considered full, mid and mini tower.

Can't find a mini tower that will accept an ATX board with the top fan. This one still looks very good and has two 120mm fans. Lian Li cases generally are engineered to be very cool.

This might not fit the bill for you, I'm not sure, but I thought it looked promising despite the 190mm fans

I was looking at that one but no top fan concerns me. That looks like the best of the mini towers. Thanks

Thanks. Thats a mid tower. I think I will stick with my CM590 if I'm going with a mid tower.

Don't worry about not having a top fan. Since it's a much smaller case, the volume of air that needs to exchange is much less, so a front/rear 120mm should be fine.

Antec NSK44xx runs cool and is small for a case that accepts full ATX motherboards. No top fan though.

Thanks. Those look interesting.

The smaller the case, the more airflow you will need. You have to balance it. You have to offset the heat build-up in a smaller case. A top fan is really unnecessary. Just get a case that provides an intake 120mm and and outtake 120mm and you will be fine. If you need more advice, just pm me.

If you are willing to have a "horizontal tower", I recommend the Silverstone lc17.
