• Oddly specific help request: Small form factor tower case under 17 inches tall?

Figured I'd make a new thread since the mega got closed and garry wants us to start doing lots of small threads anyways. I've never owned a gaming PC (or a desktop in general, all I've ever had is laptops). Been thinking about building one this summer. However, my desk has a shelf above it permanently attached to the wall giving me about 17 inches (43 cm) of vertical height to work with. Anyone recommend a good case that'll fit under it? I don't care about RGB or window panels, just needs to have good ventilation and relatively easy to work with as a first time builder. I was looking at the Cooler Master N200 but it's a half inch too tall. I'd rather not get one of those ugly square box cases either. Any suggestions?
the fact of the matter is that with 17 inches to work with, the box compromise is going to have to be made an mATX board is a known size, and so is a PSU trying to have them be on top of each other is pushing 15 inches without the case itself you're gonna have to go with a box
Oh, you're right. I was totally looking at the wrong number. According to their site, it's just under 15 inches tall. While looking around, I found the Corsair 200R (which is on sale, is better reviewed, and is just under 17 inches.) I might go with the Corsair. Thanks for the help though!
