Shorter Version of Enlight 7237 case?

[dejacky]

Over the years my Enlight 7237 has become too large for my taste. After measuring, I concluded it would be perfect if I could find a case with only TWO 5.25in bays at the top instead of 4 as in my Enlight 7237. Then, I'd put the powersupply near the bottom of the case instead of the top. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

I'd recommend the In-Win S500. I'd put it in the same class as the Enlight in terms of ease of use and functionality. It's also smaller, and that's what you were looking for.

Enlight 7150 AP is the shorter version you're looking for...

I don't see any 2x5" drive case that will take a std. ATX mobo - all want mATX. The smallest are 3x5" (~17" high) and all have the PSU at the top.
.bh.

Thanks,
maybe it's time I just stop modding and buy a Shuttle SN45...it looks so nice. <hand reaches for wallet>...

Doh!! My bad, I missed that little part sorry

Just out of curiousity, why would you want the PSU at the bottom of the case? I don't see what good it would do since you would have a little extra heat from your PSU rising into the area of your CPU. It wouldn't hurt it or cause any damage, just curious why somebody would wanna do that.

The whole idea was to get a case that was shorter, thus not having the top two 5.25 bays and since there wouldn't be enough space at the top for a psu, I'd just put it somewhere in the bottom of the case with a very carefully planned out airflow pattern. I might get the SN45 if it doesn't have problems like the sn41g2. So expect a large cheap hardware sale if I do that. Thanks again everyone.
