Recommendation on best compact Mid Tower (ATX size case)

[stevenh777]

Hi, can anyone recommend me a compact pc case for atx size motherboards?

Almost all cases listed here support ATX sized MoBo. Also, most of them are within your budget as well. Though, since list includes all tempered glass side panel cases from Phanteks and Corsair lineups, it also contains full-tower ATX cases which are too big for your preference (e.g Enthoo Lux TG).
