I've been looking at different mATX cases for cyber monday and so far I'm thinking about getting this one.

I'm more looking for either a compact case, or a box style case like the Cooler Master HAF XB Evo. Any suggestions?

I have this case http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DDCDH2 I really like it because it's kind of squat, and its a true microATX case, it's pretty small. It comes with a giant 180mm fan that runs quiet at low RPMs and pushes a fuckton of air.

Not sure about building in it, large GPUs or air coolers might not fit.

The current tower I have, and this is what I have that fits into it:
System Specs: http://i.imgur.com/JNeqzGr.jpg
OS- Win8 x64bit
Motherboard- ASUSTeK Maximus VI Gene
Processor- Intel i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (Overclocked @ 5.0GHz)
Memory- 32GB (8GBx4) DDR3 G-Skill Ripjaws
Video Card- EVGA GTX 780 (Overclocked)
Monitors- 25.5" Asus 1920x1200 + 27" Asus 1920x1080 120hz + 50" Samsung Slim TV HDMI
Sound Card - Creative Sound Blaster Fatal1ty Champion
CPU Cooling - Corsair Liquid Cooling
Hard Drives- Vertex 2 64GB / Vertex 3 64GB (x2) / Vertex 4 64GB / WDC 300GB Raptor / WDC 1TB Raptor / WDC 1.5 TB (x2) / WDC 3TB (x3)
1200 Watt PSU

I would recommend this tower, I have 0 complaints about it and there is plenty of back space for wire-management and I like the way the case comes apart for easier access to parts that should be hard to reach. It's not on sale on Newegg or Amazon atm, but it might be elsewhere, just have to check. And for the record, those HD's are not all in HD bays, when my brother built this case, he literally velcro'd 4 HD's to the interior-chasis of the tower, two on top and two on the side.
