I've been looking around for a 2nd hand mid-range windowed casing for 3 - 4 months :s22:

I can wait for awhile longer :s7:

Patience is a virtue :s13:

Jonsbo's W2 is bulky yes and a quite a lot bigger than the W1.

so how about FD's Core 500?

In fact if you want to fit 280 just buy a Phanteks Evolv ITX.

If I were you, I will just buy a mATX x99 board. The x99e-itx has so many sacrifices and if you didn't know, only the h110i may or may not fit in the bracket.

With mATX you can far more options. Corsair 350d! or fractal define arc mini r2.

FD core 500 a little tight in space... And im not sure if its the design problem, but they force us to bend the given psu cable at such a tight spot... cable management is a little hard..

Don't use a long PSU would be the solution :) Bending is alright what do you expect? Tiny ITX cases also have their cables bent.

Yea. Of course or else I won't recommend it.

What hardware are you going for?

Evolv itx so big man , it's like a matx case aready

Try finding even a mATX case that does what it does. Same goes for the bitfenix prodigy but nobody complained?

The 350D is bigger in every dimension except width because the evolv itx allows you to fit damn wide heatsinks or 280mm AIOs without hitting the motherboard.

I had a look and the Corsair 88R is also bigger in height and depth.

The good reason for an evolv itx is simple. It allows you to build normally without running into compromises or difficulties faced by all SFF cases

I want really small build so that i can put it on my table move around to living room to play game using big screen.

I am looking for this build.
Asrock x99 itx 5960x (going to change from Asusx99-a)
EVGA 850 G2 (hope can keep this powersuplly )
H110i maybe gotta change to H100i
1 TB SSD and 2.5inch 1TB HHD, maybe will add 905 pro
GFX using loan GTX550 maybe will change to Quardpro


so far like the size of SG08 , F305 and 250D (quite big ).. lastly NCASE M1 but they only start shipping at Jan 2016 very slow....

Now Noctua C14.
Had tried H100i GTX before, fits in but tubing too tight to squeeze.

Nice how long you wait for your Ncase to arrived? I really hate pre order...

So that mean it's fit.. Need to change my h110 liao.

Saw you are using short PSU, full length can't use or you prefer smaller PSU?

If can't fit my EVGA 850 I might need to skip this case otherwise my overclock 5960x not enough power.
