    Best matx/mitx case?

    As above, I'm looking for a nice matx/mitx case which can take a GTX570, full size psu and 4 hdds and a ssd.
    Currently have a Fractal Arc Mini, would like to downsize if possible.
    What would people recommend?

    Also would like to use a H70, since I've already got one, although I guess I could buy a low profile cooler, in that case what would people suggest? (i7 870)

    Current front runner is a lian li 351, since I won't be using any optical drives, fitting the hdds should be easy, especially if I go for a mitx board. (because I can get it for £50)
    Thanks

    Yeah I think I may go for it.
    Since it looks like I'm going for a mitx board, it's between that and a Bitfenix Prodigy, since I've seen pics where you can keep the top hdd cage even with a long gpu.
    Anyone else confirm it?

    Lian Li PC-Q08 seems like it would fit all of your needs.

    Yeah, only issue being cost/availibity.
    Also, a full size PSU makes the case difficult to use, and sadly can't use a H70 with it, which would mean buying another heatsink :/

    Just seen the SG-03F/04H
    Not sure how I'd missed them before.
    Look quite good, enough room in the bottom of the case for the hdds, especially if my board is mitx.
    Only issue would be cooling wit them all so close together.

    Anyone had any experience with either?

    Ended going for the v351 since it was half the price of the other lian li cases (2nd hand, but perfect condition)

    Cool, the v351 is a nice case. Always got to jump on a good deal when you can. I always favored the Q08 myself, though. On a side note, I did see a Prodigy the other day - pretty sweet case too.

    Had a Q08 in the past, was quite nice, but is quite fiddly to play around with, especially if I were to use a full size PSU!

    Now just got to work out what mobo to go for...
