>Those dimensions That case is huge for a mitx build, user.
Tyler Smith
Exactly. I'm going from a SG09 (23L) so I'm thinking something like the the SG13 or SG05. I've never worked with a case that small so was looking for recommendations on cases that can hold a RX 480 sized card.

Have them, but I game mostly on my PC and travel a lot, typically in hotel mon-thur every week. My monitor is easy to take with me since I can just wrap it in a towel and put it in my suitcase. My PC is another story due to it's shape.

I used the Silverstone Raven RVZ02B latest build, brought it with me on business trips and vacations, fits in a regular sized suitcase well. I tried to use a Corsair Graphite 380 T, but it was a bit too big for my needs. The rvz02b fits cards up to 11", but it requires one of those special sized PSUs. Cable management is a bit of a hassle too, but it's going to be if you're going with smaller cases.
Levi Harris
Because I can't put a M.2, 6700K, and a 1080 in an xbone
Caleb Miller
I have this case. It has bad GPU airflow. It's placed too close to the PSU on the bottom. It will not fit 2.5 slot cards.
Alexander Edwards
>power and reset buttons so close to ports
Christopher Phillips
Say the RX 480 consumes as much power as AMD says, what sort of SFX PSU can I get away with. I also have a 3570k.
I'm currently looking at SFX only cases, but am curious as to what the smallest case is that can fit an ATX PSU and full sized GPU.
Jaxon Russell
A high quality 450W PSU is enough for a system with a GTX 980, so I guess you can make do with less for an RX 480. But finding a high quality powersupply less powerful than 450W might be tricky.
The Seasonic G-360 maybe, but I don't know if that's enough to power the entire system. Works well enough in my server at least.

I have the SG13, it's nice, just very cheap. I'm actually upgrading to the node 304 for better airflow and better cpu cooling options.

real nice case for mini-itx, definitely might pick one up for my end of year build

Can I get 1440p/60-90fps performance from a laptop at around $700?
Jason Rivera
Node 304 was my second choice after the SG09, but those are in the 20L range. I decided at the time to just go mATX since the SG09 was already pretty small. I'm looking to go down to around 11-12L if I can. I'm willing to buy a SFX PSU to facilitate it. Eventually I plan to upgrade the CPU and mobo, but for at least a year I am going to stick with my 3570k and whatever mITX LGA 1155 mobo I can find. Likely will have to settle for an H61 board, but I don't OC anyway really.
Josiah Edwards
Not that bad. Since there's not a lot going on in there, it wasn't so bad. Plus, a fully modular PSU helped. Most of the cables are tucked out of sight in the bottom half of the case.
Jeremiah Nguyen
I ordered a Fractal Define Nano, it's due to arrive within the next few hours so maybe pics.

Go smaller.

The production A4 is a bit bigger than shown in that image: 200 x 112 x 317mm

My Define Nano S arrived, its looking pretty sweet.
David Davis
That's what I was thinking but others say it's much harder to deal with.
Chase Martinez
I'm pretty keen on the rvz02 and the node 202, I really like that form factor, ncase is probably the best case for regular components tho
Christopher Gomez
I have one and it pretty good, BUT please check if your graphics cards fits qua there is a problem with 1000 series from nvidea as they are wider and the 6/8 pins will fuck you over so you can't close your case
Mason Thomas
that's an unfair comparison as the fucking prodigy is a monster of a case.

Thoughts on the Corsair 250D?

It is a case. It is rather small. It has a nice aesthetic. Based on experience with Corsair cases, it's probably quite nice to build a PC in.

Luckily I can bodge.
Took the fan mounting bracket off, stuck the rubber grommets from the AMD mounting kit to the fan and zip tied through the heatsink fins.
Probably the cleanest looking build I have done. Still need to purchase a graphics card for it and another SSD though.

Do you literally have two fans stacked on top of each other or is that picture playing tricks on my eyes ?
James Lewis
Reflection of the 120mm fan on the mounting bracket which can fit a 140mm fan.
And that mounting bracket is in contact with the rear case grill, while the motherboard screw holes were almost half a cm away from their standoffs.

Is this an mATX in the Nano S?

but it does matter. See the physical difference in the bullshot versus the actual computer case? It's obviously square, but the other picture makes it look ob longed and retarded, thus manipulating what the user sees

I am building a 125 cm high system. This means I cant take every graphiccard. The strongest would be the amd nano or a gtx 960. The gtx 960 will be good enough for trips.
The case I will build myself, so that the thing has just the right size with as less tolarance as posible. 240 x 125 x 17

node 202 everyone should know this. 90 degree pcie is the future
Jackson Baker
They need to make it so that you can open up and close the middle cable hole. Not enough clearance for AIO cooler blocks to fit through.

watercooling is a retarded meme that needs to die >still has fan noise >extra pump noise >inevitable leaks >pump just stops working for no reason
>but muh 5-10 celsius difference nigger, please take a bullet just use a proper low-profile air cooler and get a decently gpu model with proper cooling
Jace Martin
also please tell me that you're not OP and you actually want to travel with a fucking watercooler inside your case. this must be a troll, otherwise you're just retarded
Logan Garcia
watercooling actually did die off for a while some time ago but then nvidia released fermi and the nvidiot mouthbreathers resurrected it
Nolan Rodriguez
In this case, you might want something better than a low profile or topdown cooler.
op didn't say what cpu he has and i'm pretty sure there's nothing for mitx that can't be cooled well and quietly with a pretty good low-profile cooler on full cpu load
Ethan Carter
stop posting huge mitx cases, you idiots. can't you read the thread? actually, op's faul for not posting this requirement in his initial post
Ian Cox
if only people were aware of how shit their preferences are...
Jordan Wood
if this is your option i rather go mATX instead
Adrian Smith
lian-li has options similar to the fractal node 202, with the same 90 degree pcie thing, but for mitx, matx and even atx
You're going to find out pretty quickly that those dimensions will need an extra 5-10mm, at least, to actually work in reality.
Jason Young
OP here. I don't even OC my CPU and plan to go stock cooler or low profile.
That node 202 does look nice. How sturdy is the PCIe extender/connector? I'd be putting this in a bag/suitcase and then driving 70+ miles. I've been taking my GPU out before I drive now since in the SG09 the GPU hangs like in a normal tower.
John Flores
post your build.

Joshua Young
Slight problem. The only ITX LGA 1155 mobo I can find is the Asus P8H61-I. Same pic as OP. The CPU placement is right next to the GPU and the 4 pin connector on the other side so I won't have much/any room for a cooler. Even some of the low profile ones I've found extend past the screw holes a bit.
At this point I'm leaning toward the Node 202. One of the smallest cases (~10L) and horizontal so it would be easy to store in a suitcase.
Can anyone recommend low profile cooler that would fit this board? Am I limited to a stock intel cooler?
Ethan Hill
I don't recommend this cooler due to its sheer size (probably won't fit the case you're looking at) But you can see on the RAM side the heat pipes come up within the mounting holes and you can rotate it to mount upward if you want.
It's a GeminII S524. Perhaps they have some similar design coolers that aren't as tall or you could put a slim fan on it to fit. Something to think about.
Henry Bailey
its a new itx case from Xigmatek that was shown at computex. Looks promising. Has a handle and a removable frame for easy building.
Jaxson Jenkins
I wonder who actually makes these cases as they have been sold branded as Raidmax and AZZA.
Even has a nice little blank area for the logo of "insert your company name here".
Anyways, it's a bit big for a travel size ITX case. If I was traveling with my PC I'd want to cushion it between some clothes/towels in my suitcase instead.
Cooper Taylor
What are the best extremely small cases, like mac mini or intel nuc case size?
