Hi, im currently using a Corsair Carbide 540 but needing a replacement.

Anyone got any suggestions for replacement?

My main considerations for it: ATX mid tower and height less than 45cm (due to space constraints, sadly)
Price-wise im okay in general as long as it is within a reasonable range, and that the case design looks good.

Considerations include being able to fit a ATX mobo, and height less than 45cm due to my space constraint.

I've been looking thru some, but the height of the cases are just slightly over 45cm.
Can't seem to find any that i like and height beneath 45cm.
 
Why are you replacing the current case?
Can you post any specifics on type of case you might like.
Do you like to display the case or place it under a desk?
Do you like specific side panels (glass) and RGB lighting?
Do you need space for large GPUs?
Could you post your system components.

Do you like a case like the NZXT H510i/H510

The USB ports as well as the on/off buttons are faulty. I have been opening the case to use the mobo on/off button to turn on my computer.

I dont really have specifics for case i might like.
But i think i prefer a smaller case after using the relatively huge corsair 540 for so long.

My case sits on top of my desk, so i wld like one with a nice side window to display the parts. And of course RGB would be good but not necessary.

Regarding my parts, ...
i7-6700k
Corsair H100i
ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming K6
1x HDD, 2x SSD
GTX970

I hope the above information is sufficient.

If the case is under warranty, Corsair will provide you with a front I/O replacement panel. I have purchased it for $10 online.
Oh wow nice case. Perfect dimensions as well. Thanks!!

My case was bought about 5 years ago. So i highly doubt it is still under warranty. I might find replacements online then. I'll consider it. But that case u recommended looks so good and tempting.

Besides style, and good looks, the Fractal case build quality is very good. It is very easy to build on it and has excellent cable management.
It does not support optical drives though.

I think it is ok. I could do without an optical drive.
Really thankful for your help.
Very extensive advice.
