any suggestions?
love my 650D but it's kind of big.
needs to fit an atx board and two gtx 580s... a window would be a plus.

Unless you're willing to get a Micro-ATX board you may be SOL. An ATX motherboard AND 2 long GPUs is a tall order for a small form factor case.General_Xmotherboard is pretty new and there is no chance of return so i'm not really willing to go micro-atx right now. HDD cages are not needed, so i don't think the gpus are really that much of an issue in this search.
If you want the lightest case ever

Should fit your gpus.
It's so light this, so it's portable.
If you really want a more portable case with a handle and can fit your 2x580s you will needa microatx motherboard.
I use this case with a micro atx motherboard, works great.

psu in the front, don't know if it would fit the gpus with that... and hopefully it's a changeable psu because there is no way i would run two 580s on a **** psu.It takes a standard ATX PSU. And it'll fit your 580's with a couple if inches to spare. You'll just need to mount your hdd in the top 3.5" bay instead of the bottom...[QUOTE="superclocked"]$49.99 - COOLER MASTER Elite 361MuD3
i have an old 360 elite laying around and it can barely squeeze a 6850 in it if i try real hard. MuD3You would just need to put your hdd in the top 3.5" bay...

the lian li PC-A05FN looks the most promising to me right now... but i don't know if the second 580 would fit with the psu installed.MuD3Lian Li cases are overpriced IMO, otherwise I would've recommended one. But if you have the money to blow, go for it :)

And it has a perfect setup on the side for my radiators, so I wouldn't have to dremel the side panel like I did with my old CM590... Very cool! This definitely looks like a case to have on my radar, the only thing that would make it better is if it was a little wider or taller to fit a full-size ATX mobo like the Elite 361, then it looks like it would easily be the best SFF case for full-size components.
