Ok, im having a some problems finding a small (as small as possible) case, that can fit a TRUE, mATX board and a SG-850, and still looks good!
I like Lian-Li and MM (just so you know my style :D)
Is it even possible to find a case like that?

Just do some modding on the case, Would it really matter if the cooler was sticking out of the case?

Ditch the TRUE and use a Scythe Zipang.. more than enough for a >4Ghz Dualie. DFI P45 JR mobo, fits great in the LianLi V350.

But getting a TRUE or something for a lanbox would mean you'd have to up the size of the case a fair bit. Have you thought about making your own acrylic case?

I just ran into this problem of wanting a "small" case that would fit a TRUE...They don't exist, at least not for my requirements. There are a couple small towers made by Cooler Master like the 340 and 541 and then there's the Antec Mini P180 that might work but if your looking for a SFF type case, the only cases that come to mind are the NZXT Rogue and the QMicra v2, and neither one is "small". Not real sure on the QMirca fitting a TRUE either, I read somewhere as long as there is ~161mm between the top of the CPU and the PSU, it'll fit. Problem is not all MoBo's will have the same socket height which could cause a make or break situation. I wound up going with the Rogue myself and had to spin the TRUE so it was 90° from a normal case setup.

I'm not sure whether it would help, or not, but check out the Thermalright Ultima, rather than the Ultimate.
It's supposed to cool, almost, if not as well as, the Ultimate, and the reduction in height might give you a little more to play around with. :shrug:

The lanbox you very limited on height for coolers.

Noctua NH-C12P, Scythe Zipang, or Scythe Shuriken are my suggestions. The C12P or Zipang are excellent coolers, not much "weaker" than the TRUE.
