Trying to build a smaller Micro atx pc, stuck on which case to pick
I've been trying to pick a good pc case to build my first ever pc in and decided to go Micro atx so I could easily move it between my desk and TV. I'm kinda stuck what case to pick because I wanted to be able to move it easily (carefully of course I don't need one of those mini pcs with a handle) and good airflow with easy-ish cable management for my first build. My top picks right now are:
ASUS Prime AP201 (mini tower, slightly bigger than an average mini tower matx so it has more cable management space but wondering about its other factors)
Lian Li A3 Microatx Mini tower (I love the design of this one and like how compact it looks but everyone says cable management is tough inside of it)
NZXT H3 Flow (Mid tower so it is pretty big and no headphone jack is a turn off)
Any help for my first build is appreciated!
