Save your rare tfx PSU, they are expensive to replace.
inwin chopin uses a proprietary psu form factor, not even tfx or flex atx. tfx or flex atx shouldnt be too expensive if u look for the right places, while im not even sure where to source a replacement for the chopin psu...
You just need a new ITX case though which is like $100 for a nice one.
taobao has a wide selection of itx cases, a good number of which are pretty cheap. even with shipping u can get quite a few at a price comparable to getting a budget matx/atx case locally. did a quick search and found this for about $60 with shipping:

can also look up the sff case spreadsheet on the sffpc subreddit, has pretty much every sff case and can filter based on ur wants.

I'm going to swap out my SG13 with a Tecware fusion (Putting it sideways so it is 30cm deep). You want to do a trade? I need a small non-GPU case and I can't be bothered to troubleshoot my Realan C3.

Or just go Tecware fusion like me lol.

Change to a better SFF case, if you put that way.
What if you accidentally tip, touch or drop something.
You will fry the entire PC easily since it is expose
and electrical current is running.

You can consider Cooler master ITX case like NR200P etc.
Take note of your power supply, not sure which PSU you are using.
Do get a good PSU also.

nr200 technically has support for atx psus, but u need to 3d print the brackets yourself. until then, u have to cough up the premium for a sfx psu. it is also quite a bit larger than the chopin. personally i would choose my current case (sktc s200) over the nr200 every time as it is roughly the same size while having better compatibility (matx mobo + atx psu) barring vertical gpu mounting and watercooling.
