Please recommend me a HTPC case

[QuantitativeNoob]

I know its kinda rare to find "flat top" or non-tower casings nowadays. I think they call it HTPC casings.

Can someone recommend me a HTPC case available locally which supports ATX mobo?

I know the existence of 2 (CM & LL) but there is a restriction to the GPU length and height.

Other than lian li pc-O7s, I don't recall any atx slim chassis. Unless you change to an itx mobo, then your chassis choices will be better.

Hi singupingu, the PC-07S is too short (85mm) to fit a proper Glim require something at least 130mm.

Check out thermaltake G3. Desktop style. Fits your requirement.

What is your budget and what is the size of the space that is needed to fit?

It's okay!

Bingo! CM Elite 361 was one of the choice. But according their official specs the max length allowed for the GPU is 227mm and the max height for the fan is 122mm only.

I'm looking at purchasing a pair of 4GB Radeon RX 460 for my new Ryzen 5 project.

If u look again, the cm elite 361 has a removable hdd cage which if u do so, can support gfx card up to 312mm. So as long as u choose a cpu cooler to fit the height it should be ok. Consider a 80mm or 90mm fan cooler, or go water cooling.

Budget between $100 to $200... Cause I'm trying to limit the entire Ryzen to around $1000 to $1200. Well definitely need some room for future graphics upgrade. But currently looking at 2x RX 460 or 1x RX 480.

I'm just curious, if I remove the HDD cage, where do I park my HDD? Because I'm considering putting SSD + HDD.

Assuming u dun put 3.5" floppy drive and 5.25" dvd or blueray drive, u can put your ssd in either slot and hdd in the other slot.

Another possible option is since there are ssd that uses the pcie slot, u dun need to put that in the drive slots liao.

Don't know where to find 3.5" floppy drive anymore
Hmmm good idea. But it also leaves me with just a choice of 1x SSD + 1x HDD with no other.

Does anybody know the height of the AMD Ryzen's Wraith Stealth or Wraith Spire cooler heights??

I have also found some suitable casings by Factual Design and SilverStone. Only problem is I don't know if our local dealers got bring in those models or not.

But just to confirm, how many SSD and HDD do u intend to put inside?

Have plans to put 2x SSD and 1x HDD.

U can put the HDD in the 3.5" slot. And should be able to put 2 SSD in the 5.25" slot with the right adapter.

 

[QuantitativeNoob]

Sorry I lost you here. I thought we assume that I take out the 3.5" inch, so where is the other 3.5" slot?

For the 5.25" slot it looks like there are 3 correct?

The other 3.5" slot is the open one for the floppy drive, u can place your HDD in that slot.

For the 5.25" slot there is only one. The bottom 2 slots are taken up by the PSU.

Forget about it and just stick to single GPU since crossfire is problematic and inconsistent. And just find a slim dual expansion slot chassis like FD Node 202 or Silverstone ML08
