I must admit to having something of a soft spot for highly compact ATX cases. One of my personal favourites of yesteryear was the Antec LanBoy – a very compact and well built aluminium ATX chassis much in the vein of the PC-9 which had a lot of the features of higher specification chassis, while still being very affordable.

Sadly though, the PC-9 has been a disappointment, and it’s not just the ludicrously high price that’s put us off. While the all aluminium construction and solid Lian Li build quality is there, aluminium chassis from competing manufacturers like Akasa and Cooler Master have generally better built quality.
