Small, ATX case with good cooling - Suggestions Please!

[Ilmater]

I would like to find a very small PC case that holds an ATX motherboard that's cheap and has good cooling. Also, if it comes with a built-in power supply (like many Micro-ATX cases), I want it to be a quality PSU. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Not ONE person has any ideas?

small and good cooling is generally hard to find.. depends on what 'good' cooling is maybe.

i don't really have a suggestion, but just from exp, smaller cases will just be warmer anyway you look at it..w/ conservative cooling anyway.

I don't need excellent cooling, just good cooling. How about this: does anyone know of a cheap, small case that fits an ATX board?

how cheap is cheap? I have the Antec PERFORMANCE II SX635BII and like it alot. for $75 it is nice; very good setup, sturdy construction.

The Chenming 601AE-B is also nice is you want a side panel window. Same great design, with added fan on side window.

Those Chenming/Antec/Chieftec clones are huge though. Have you considered a LanBoy or one of the clones? I just ordered a black Chenming X-Sonic which is basically the same case as the LanBoy cuz I wanted something smallish and light for portability.

The Antec slk 1600 and slk2600 are about as small as you'll find with decent cooling. They breathe reasonably well, so the 80mm fan(s) do just fine. In order to go any smaller, you'll have to go with a side-saddle psu arrangement, which basically defies good coolng...
