What is your current Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX case?

Whay?

In-Win D Frame Mini in red colour, modded it glossy white instead

Thinkin about modding it's backplate, it's aluminium so a bit hard for an easy mod, may use plexiglas instead and by modding it's backplate change it from ITX to full-size ATX

I recently picked up a Zalman T5 that was mistakenly priced at $9.95!
Going to move all my used parts into it, then sell a New/Used build to recoup some of the money I spend on this passion.

Maybe because I got it before the second one came out.

Good point...

Sharkoon QB One for my router and a similar Sharkoon case for a trash system.
My main rig is stuffed into a Corsair Carbide 400Q which is pretty compact for an E-ATX case.

Currently, I use the CoolerMaster Silencio 352. It's a pretty decent case, but it has very little room for cable management.

That Skarkoon QB is beautiful...

Total piece of crap but it is cheap and very small.

Definitely not a small case but its getting 720mm of radiator in a month or two which will fill it up nicely.

the case im planning to have my next build in is


really nice looking and slim case and waiting for mini itx mobo for ryzen

Currently a Bitfenix Prodigy.

Hopefully moving the 4790k+Fury to a RZV02 and doing a mATX Ryzen build in a Caselabs BH4.


So tempted, do you think the front fans get enough air though?

IDK, but it got really positive review from OC3D, and Tom Logan there don't skimp on cases...


If there were airflow issues he would have mentioned it.

Going to get it, two 140mm fans in the front and two 240mm rads up top.

I know the last time this thread was updated over a year ago now, but I thought I’d just try to rekindle the fire, so to speak… I upgraded to the Enthoo Evolv Mini-ITX case, purely to improve cooling, the issue I had with the RVZ02 were:

  • No support for 3.5" drives
  • SSD’s were getting too hot from the GPU the which was on the other side of the a pretty thin piece of metal
  • Heat issues in general

This new case solves all of the issues I was having, not to mention that since I’ve upgraded my cooler to the Corsair H80i V2, I think my CPU has hit about 50°C at most, which I find beyond epic!

[This isn’t my build, just look at how sexual this little beast of a case is though!]

Should probably put this here:

The Handbag

The build with some pictures:

The Plan was to put stupid power into a tiny box. I had to make changes unfortunately.
No, that nano is not working in a case that limited on airflow around the PCIe slot.

I had to switch that for the Sapphire 570 ITX, which is not bad… but, you know…
Otherwise the build was very manageable, not easy but also not terrible.
Most of the stuff is already mounted to the board. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Test with PSU sitting outside the case.

It is really just strapping cables together mostly.

Other than the GPU switch I also downgraded the CPU to a 2600, removed the back I/O cover to allow for more airflow and I only connected the red drive LED for power, just for looks.

Later I switched the RAM to something faster because … well, I got it cheap. :stuck_out_tongue: I am running this at the 3200 speed and timings though.

And that’s it. :slight_smile:
It’s not as crazy as I wanted it to be but still a lot of oomph in a package that small.

Specs:

My current system is a completely silent, passively-cooled Streacom DB4:

There’s a Ryzen 5 1600, B350 mobo, 32GB of RAM, 2TB of SSD and a GTX 1050 Ti inside.

It runs Ubuntu 18.04.

Full build log and some thermals over on Wordpress.

I’m currently using a Fractal Design Node 202. Would love to get my hands on the Louqe Ghost S1 MkII though

Stuck a 2400G build in an In Win Chopin:

It lives behind the TV now.

I’d love to get ahold of a Louqe case too if they weren’t so damn expensive.
