I have space crunch on my desk and I need to rearrange my setup. I have an year old desktop config ..ASrock B450 pro4 mother board and other components purchased last year. I reused my old Bitfenix Merc Alpha case. Now the case is too big on my desk for the setup to rearrange. I do not want to discard my pc but thinking of getting a new sleek and slim case. What are my choices with a budget of upto 5K for a slim case?

Please note that
1. I do not want cheap generic chinese makes
2. RGB is good to have but not compulsory
3. Provision for DVD drive is good but again not compulsory.
4. I do not have any HDD disks and no plans for adding them.
5. But I may plan to add a graphics card next year.
6. Open to online buying

Let me know your suggestions please.
Thanks.

You can try Deepcool dukase, I had it, it very good black aluminum/steel construction and I liked it very much. Particularly because it had a window but no tempered glass. (I had bad experience with tempered glass earlier)

Its looking good. But still it is full tower and large in size. I need a slim and compact type case. Any suggestions please...

This isn't full tower, it's mid tower. I think mid tower is best compromise, with fans and additional setups. Usually micro ATX cases aren't well built.

If you can get another desk, it would cost you 2k for a basic one from Ikea.

I wish I had that luxury. But no space to add another table.

Price is around ~10k

Everything else available is cheap china made cabinets around 2-3k .. you can get one from Zebronics at local shops.

*www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-PRO-rev-10/sp#sp

Please try to suggest which is best for ryzen 3 3200g with durability in concern.
