Jonsbo
4.3
(41)
"I have the z20 and it has room for 2 140s each on top and bottom then 120 on back. My build is all air cooled and I'm loving it."
"Z20 hands down the best case. Top quality, 20 litres, atx psu, fits all gpu’s, can take 240 aio or air cooler up to 160mm height, glass panel, all mesh, premium packaging, has a handle, relatively cheap."
"Can highly recommend the Z20. Here is my build with a Suprim 5090 and 9800X3D and AIO cooler"
"I liked my fractal torrent compact, then I downsized to a jonsbo z20. Absolutely love it. The handle is amazing, the build quality is surprisingly good."
"Jonsbo D32 Pro. Seriously."
"I think the Z20 is probably the best matx case; looks great, good part compatibility, easy to build in."
"I quite like my Jonsbo D31 Mesh (w/screen, but that's optional). Couple of decades building in SFF it was a welcome change to have all that space, but the case has good tooling and finish, surprising for the price really."
"Just built in Jonsbo D31. It’s amaizing. And fits 360 AIO (check my last post for examples). And cheaper than Asus."
"+1 of Z20 too. What a joy to build in this case"
"+1 for the Z20. gonna be doing an all-white rgb build in there possibly this weekend and mocking up the parts that i have so far, it seems like it’s gonna be a great fit and a good time"

Lian Li
4.3
(21)
"MATX cases that I've used and would recommend to anyone: Lian Li A3"
"I am partial however to the A3. I think it's the best looking that isn't dual chambered, and is the most thoughtfully designed."
"Lian li a3"
"Lian li a3"
"The Lian Li A3 is top 5 for me"
"Lian Li A3 and Jonsplus Z20 are a couple of nice ones"
"The A3 is a great one imo, very flexible and pretty affordable."
"Case are great, feels quality and secure."
"Lian li a3 or o11 mini"
"The A3 with the correct component choices will work great"
#3
Fractal Design
4.4
(19)
"Get the Fractal Design Meshify C Mini. It's a solid choice for an mATX case and has good cooling options."
"33.4 liters - Fractal Design Meshify C Mini (or Meshify 2 Mini)"
"Otherwise get a mATX like fractal pop mini air."
"I also like the 804. Fairly roomy compared to ITX."
"Fractal Node 804."
"Fractal Design Node 804"
"NAS? Lots of drives? Fractal Node 804."

"Plenty of space inside to work on it and way way smaller than the Antec P180 that I came from."
"Fractal Meshify Mini C."
#4
ASUS
4.3
(15)
"33.0 liters - Asus AP201"
"Asus AP201 is hard to beat price/feature wise, and /r/mffpc's favorite."
"Asus AP201 mATX case can comfortably fit that card."
"I just did a build in an Asus Prime AP201. It was very easy to build in and airflow won't be a problem in there."
"ASUS AP201 recently released and is only $80 - $85 (depending on SKU and retailer)."
"AP201 if you are using those thick rad AIOs like the ones from Arctic. If not, Dan A3 is basically the AP201 but way smaller."
"ASUS Prime AP201 White (glass) would also need fans with this one."
"I have an Asus Prime Ap201, and I quite like it"
"I know many like smaller but big fan of my AP201."
"If you want a little bit more room to breathe then go with the ap201"

Deepcool
4.0

"+1 on the CH260. The only thing I don't like with this case is that you really have to screw a lot."
"You should also check out CH260, the new case from deepcool"
"If you’re not in the US the new Deepcool CH260 is a good new option, the layout is similar to A3/AP201/D32 but it can accommodate 2 120mm fan in front."
