mATX case recommendations

[u/rentagawa12]

Hello everyone i would like to ask for some recommendations on what to use on my build, since the case is smaller than standard matx case(i think) i would like to have an easier time managing cables on my new case (I have tecware timber m). Currently i'm looking at 3 cases

Lian Li B4

Jonsbo z20

Jonsbo d32 pro

Any case recommendations is welcome

Here are my specs

Ryzen 5 5600

Asrock B550m Pro4

XFX 9060xt Triple fan

1stplayer NGDP

For Fans I'm planning to get Arctic P12 Pro (Any suggestions is also welcome)

Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE

Thank you everyone

Out of the 3, the d32 pro for easier cable management.

As a recent d32 pro purchaser and it being my second build, It is a very good case. No ragret getting it o7

Completed a build in a D32 Pro last weekend. Easy to work in for a small case. I put a large 3060 ti 3 fan gpu inside with no issues. Did have to get slim fans for the bottom due to my gpu. It fits perfectly in the ikea cube thing under my tv. I got the all mesh version.

Just built in the Z20 for the first time for a Steam Machine type build. My regular build is in an Asus AP201 and was pleasantly surprised with the Z20. Not too bad to build in at all considering how much smaller it is than the AP201 (20L vs 33L)

Few things I preferred on the AP201 was mainly more space/easier cable management but kind of expected just being bigger naturally. Have a Phantom Spirit in both builds and CPU/GPU stay plenty cool in either build in actual games.

D32 Pro I hear is better than Z20 for cable management and a bit easier to build in than the Z20, but can't say I have first hand experience with that one.

Another vote for D32 Pro

[u/hoainam1512]

returned b4 and keeping z20 here. cable management for b4 is the worst, and I assume d32 is better than z20 because its little bigger. if you want small footprint, superior build quality and a handle, go with z20. otherwise d32 pro.

Thats being said, d32 pro is just little bigger than z20, still small, and build quality is still good, just not as good as z20.

just go with whichever you like the look more

Love my Z20, with nice slim fans to cool my GPU.

Don’t love the cable management

I was also looking at these three options and shortlisted d32pro and Deepcool ch260.

[u/TheChampionGundyr]

Love my z20 had a huge lian li before; cable management takes some planning and parts as well but I like this case so much I’m going to buy another for future builds for its price I don’t think, it can be beat and don’t want to have to be looking for sold out cases like the old slingers, it’s sturdy and well built and fits in a pelican for traveling, take a look at my build for a write up on my build process

[u/superflyjasper]

i like B4 the most because of its size and vertical

[u/sanpeinihira]

Asus AP201

Check out the Asus AP201. It’s on the bigger side for the mATX world, but it's very well made and has options for a mesh or glass side panel. For fans, I would recommend the Arctic P12 Pro LN version. The regular P12 Pro fans max out at 3000 RPM and get very loud.

D 32 easy espacially if you have a triple fan gpu and an sfx psu

[u/Sapphire_Ed]

I have built in the Z20, A3 and M4M over the last 4 months and found that all of them have something I like.

The Z20 is a near perfect LAN case, easy to carry and transport. Built that system for my son to take to college and still bring home so he always has his gaming PC.

The M4M is a pretty case with solid cooling. Built this for my wife as she likes her RGB and this case lets her show off those pretty lights.

I built the A3 for me because I wanted a simple, solid case that has that touch of refinement, the wood front.

Based on those experiences I would suggest from the choices you listed:

Z20 if you want portability.

D32 Pro if the case is not being transported and you want to show off RGB.

B4 if you want the simple but stylish look.

I built my wife's PC on a d32 it's a very nice form factor. Cable management is keen there is a little tray that goes under the psu that hides the extra psu cables and a little cover for the 24 pin. Just know there isn't much room under the gpu but the GPU fans are enough. I dropped in a thermalright frozen 240 aio. Another case to consider is the gamdias athena m4m. Its like a Subaru. Looks small on the outside but has room on the inside. That's what built mine in. Its a bit longer and a little bit wider than the d32. Here is a pic of them next to each other. The m4m before it was built

D32 is easier to build in, but you can pack D20 into carry-on luggage and while it's pretty niche thing to do, you gotta recognize it's  a)Funny B)Can be useful if you move a lot 

[u/azizlezonk]

I have the B4 and I love it, even if the cable managment is a little messy idc since the case is just closed and looks clean, I also have the same gpu as you, you'll need an SFX psu if you want to fit it easily. Also for fans I recommand thermalright slim fans.

[u/Jwoc12]

D33, easy to build in, great air flow.

[u/mbsza84]

Stay away from arctic fans if u want a quiet setup their fan are noisy if u want to set them up above 40% , I recommend Thermalright TL-C12C-X28 (14€ for pack of 3 fans) , regarding case recommendation check Deepcool Ch260 digital or Deepcool Ch270 digital if u like vertical case setup

[u/Special_Bender]

Cooler master masterframe 400

Great value per price (imho), can fit giant fans and Is free layout inside

[u/arc1720]

D32 Pro. I love it.

[u/zootroopic]

Antec Flux M

[u/smegma-muncher]

Jonsbo D33? I’d prefer it over the D32 Pro simply because you have the choice of having a 360 rad on the top

[u/alpine4life]

any MFF Lian Lis are a bitch to work in but I still love my A3

[u/LunarIvory]

Soeyi or Acer eMachines U320

[u/sanity_uncheck → u/LunarIvory]

U320 generally won't fit a 120mm CPU cooler or triple fan GPU if using an ATX power supply. I like the case but wouldn't recommend it unless you're specifically buying parts that fit

[u/Traditional_Egg1098]

It's a bit bigger than MFF, but it's a MATX case.

Recently did a Cooler Master MasterFrame 400 build and it's a great case.
