Hey guys, I'm getting kind of sick and tired of lugging my gigantor NZXT Phantom to LANs and was wondering if there were any good E-ATX mid-tower cases that could be recommended?
I've been looking at:

But it's discontinued, although this looks good:

Any thoughts?
Edit: My case is not an E-ATX case. Here's another option option though: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146073
I've had this one for over a year now, it's nice

Both of those cases don't list E-ATX in the motherboard sizes, but do they work with it?

Corsair 922, very lightweight and (fairly) cheap.
I recently switched from the massive Antec 1200 full-tower to the CM HAF 912. It's simple, small, holds enough fans in the right places and can store 2 large GPUs (might have to take out the removable HD cage though). Best of all it's $50-60.
Or there's the slightly larger 922 listed above (it's CoolerMaster, not Corsair btw) :P
Hm....for E-Atx I don't know. but for ATX, I have the storm scout and the bolted down handle and makes carrying it waaaaayy easier.

Same mounting holes throughout all the AT- formfactor, just make sure there's enough clearance.
How about a server rack?
Milk Crate?
MicroAtx?
Oh I didn't know that actually, I always thought that it had a different layout. Learn something new every day, I guess :D
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147023 i have this one and it rapes and is cheap. one problem was when i got it part of the motherboard tray was slightly bent and when i built the machine the tip of it was touching the bottom of the motherboard and was shorting it out so i had to bend it back...could have happened during shipping but reguardless its prolly the best bang for your buck...best airflow i've ever seen in a case under 100 dollars
If you're wondering whether a case will support your MB or not, just count the PCIe slots on your MB and see if the case has enough PCIe slots.

that's not the case with an e-atx motherboard....OP has to make sure there's enough side-to-side clearance.
e-atx: same height as ATX but wider than ATX.
