ASUS Prime AP201 33-Liter Micro ATX White PC case with Tool-Free Side Panels and a Quasi-Filter mesh, with Support for 360 mm Coolers, Graphics Cards up to 338 mm Long, and Standard ATX PSUs

I love this little case. Originally bought it for a secondary PC, but it became my main PC case when I upgraded and wanted something smaller. There's plenty of room for just about anything you would want to put inside. The description says it will take a 338mm length GPU, but the first on I used was an XFX Merc 319, which is slightly longer than that (340mm.) It fit with no problem while at the same time using a full ATX power supply and an air cooler, with 2 exhaust fans at the top. That's because the case allows you to adjust the placement of the PSU to either accommodate a larger GPU (move the power supply up) or a 360 mm radiator on the top (move power supply down.) Fitting both would be tricky with a full ATX power supply, but you could do it with an SFX. Just make sure you are using a modular PSU if you're going to go with a max length GPU. That's really a good idea anyway since with a case this size there isn't much space to hide a lot of extra cables. Building in this case is easy. Every panel comes off which makes it a breeze. About the only thing that could still be tricky is getting the CPU power in place if you're using an AIO and you install it and the motherboard before routing that cable. To be fair, it's the same way with most cases, so if you're used to PC building you know to run that cable first just in case. I went with the mesh version for airflow, and temperatures haven't been an issue at all, for CPU or GPU. My current setup has a much shorter GPU than before so I have a 360mm radiator installed at the top with the ATX PSU moved down enough to easily fit it. I have 2 fans pulling air in from the bottom. Depending on how thick your GPU is you may not need any fans at the bottom. I was concerned about not mounting any front fans for intake, but it has not been a problem. There is enough room to mount one fan in the front if you are using an SFX power supply and can move it down to the lowest position. Right now I have 4 fans pulling air out (3 on the AIO, one in the rear) and 2 at the bottom pulling air in. It may be better for dust purposes to move that rear exhaust fan to be a bottom intake, making the airflow more or less even, but as I said, I have not had any temperature issues so I'm not worried about it. Keep in mind, only the bottom has a dust filter, so if you have negative airflow like this you'll have to do a little more maintenance for the dust pulled in from the side. Or I guess you could buy some magnetic mesh for the side panel. One possible downside for some--there is no reset button. In the center of the front panel is the power button (which has a white LED when on), with two USB 3.0 ports to the right and USB-C, headphone and microphone on the left. If your PC hard freezes and you need to reset, you'll just have to long-press the power button, wait for it to turn off, then turn it back on. Finally, a word about looks. This is a simple case. It isn't flashy. Even if you use RGB components it isn't going to be very flashy if you go for the mesh version (although you CAN see the lighting through the mesh and it's kind of a cool effect.) It's meant to be minimalist and that's just what it is. As I write this, the white version (which is the one I went with) is $20 more than the black version (which was not the case when I bought mine.) With that price difference, I'd definitely go black for better value unless you really need the white to match something else.

TLDR: Small case that's easy to build in with a lot of nice design decisions None of the side panels have screws. They pop on and off with a little a small effort so they're easy to remove while installing your components and don't have any small pieces that you risk losing. The front I/O connectors and buttons are all in a block that's mounted to the frame. The front panel has holes cut for these connectors. That makes it so you can take the front panel off without pulling the wiring for the front panel I/O. The case can fit a standard ATX PSU and has the PSU sit so it pulls in air from the inside of the case and exhausts through the top of the case. It's easy to get the PSU into place and there's a piece of metal to "hide" the PSU behind so you don't see it or the cables through the mesh. I like having intake fans under the GPU. It keeps the GPU nice and cool while gaming. There's a spot on the back where I'd add another intake for the CPU if my CPU (Ryzen 5600) ran hot enough to need it. There's enough room before the PSU for some cable management but I wish there was just a little bit more space between the motherboard mounts and the back panel. I had some trouble getting connectors for fan splitters and extenders to fit. My motherboard only has 2 fan headers so splitters are a must but the cables just aren't long enough to get the connectors to the bigger space past the motherboard near the front of the case.

I really like how this case is designed. Granted, I mis read the specs and got it for an old itx board. It's as big, yet wider than my Lenovo legion tower. But, I installed the board in it. Everthing went in, no problem. It's got the space for fans and water cooling. Didn't do water cooling. But nice for future builds. My only issue is there's no optional 3.5 drive bay cage. Not important. But I don't like having to lose a fan to install a data drive of any size. Makes it feel like I lose a bit of fan space. But, the itx board was in a cramp, tiny case prior to this. And the temps improved dramatically. I am considering ordering another one in the future to put my Lenovo in it (it can be done with these legion tower PCs). The mesh sidings really does help with air dissipation. The fans just help giving it some static flow. I also love that the tool less panels latch/unlatch well. Just remember, it won't fit a full ATX board in it. But mATX and ITX is fine. Oh, my only complaint is despite the roominess. The space behind the Mobo wall is too thin. There's enough room if you spread the wires about. But if you like to keep cords bundled together and routed in one area. Not going to get that between the back of the Mobo and case panel. Also, this case was designed with a modular power supply in mind. So.... you'll not going to be able to hide all the power wires behind that backplate that is designed to bundle all the wires slack behind it.
