3 Micro-ATX Cases Compared

qmicra imgAnandTech compares three micro-ATX cases: the Antec Aria (US$100), PC Design Lab Qmicra (US$300), and Ultra MicroFly (US$90).

"Smaller and smaller cases are sure to come through our labs as customers clamor for ever more stylish and hidden computers to fit into their homes and offices, and it's nice to say that for the most part, we're still seeing improvements from our perspective. All three cases we looked at here were great examples of putting an emphasis on quiet computing, but in their own right each unit brings a unique offering which deserves recognition."

The most affordable one is the MicroFly, where you can actually get it for as low as US$50 if you skip the inclusion of the 400 Watt power supply. If you would like the smallest case among the three (think LAN parties), the Aria would probably be your best bet. For the seasoned modder (and maybe someone with the extra dough), the Qmicra is the one to get.
