Hi. Pretty new to this site so any help would be appreciated. I'm starting the process of switching my current PC case to another. I have a small room and the case I have now is too big. Looking for a microATX Mid tower. Any help finding another case that fits all my parts? Thanks in advance. Budget around $100 or so. And definitely wouldn't mind a sexy case.

You just want less floor space? Any old mid or micro ATX tower will do.

Certainly other shapes on offer that will put the motherboard in the more traditional upright position.

But low volume cases often cater to SFX power supplies and ITX boards, so it will still be roughly the same volume. There are cases that are longer where they put the power supply in the front. But you have a 3.5" which a lot of true low volume cases omit as well, that and a full size power supply. Low volume cases are also usually very expensive.

Partpicker is going to do a good job of getting you a list of cases that will work with your hardware. Nothing really jumps out as a solution to me. Maybe the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv or Fractal Design Mini C. BitFenix Prodigy M is a bit of a classic, but not really much smaller than what you have.

Yeah I don't mind the height of a case. it's the width I'm having trouble with. Fitting it onto a desk.
 
Cryorig H7 is a popular replacement choice, though ludicrously priced at the moment. Must be low on stock at the moment. 1.4 cm shorter and cools better.

BeQuiet Pure Rock, Pure Rock Slim are decent enough. Deepcool Gammaxx GT would probably do in a pinch.

Plenty of true low profiles coolers Scythe Big Shuriken 3, Noctua NH-L9. Or even the NH-D9L.

Or you could break out a water cooler.
