Recommendation for MITX Case

[donalduck]

Currently using Corsair Obsidion 250D. Looking for something smaller that can still fit in full size GPU and water cooling for the CPU. Any recommendation? Was looking at Phantek Evolv Shift Air, but seems that it's out of stock here.

Loving my Lian Li Tu150, you can consider.

Initially I bought Shift Air, but realize my GPU(5700 Gaming X) too thick, had no choice but to sell it. do take note if you are still getting shift air.

My question is where do you want to put the case and does your desk have sufficient space? From my experience, while the smaller form factor is nice, the reality is that most ITX case are too big for the computer table and too small on the floor. I've used the Corsair Obsidian 250D previously and while the casing and airflow is good for an ITX case, it is exactly how I mentioned that its too big for the table and too small on the floor. This is likely the same for most ITX case I've seen.

Then I suggest you measure before you make a decision. Do note to also account for some space at the rear where all the wires are because you will not be able to push it all the way to the back with all the wires in the way. Most lower profile mITX case are quite long at the sides so as to improve compatibility with long graphic cards.

Would recommend my 5 year old Silverstoned FTZ01 but then I see TS want water cooling....

I think it will be very tricky to install a water cooler into an ITX case due to the size of the case. Plus due to limited fans in the case, the area surrounding the CPU will be very hot if there is no airflow towards the components.

maybe google for sandwich class cases? those are the type that usually conform to small on desk spaces. personally im using the geeek a50 model which is small as heck. But they have the geeek a60 model which is few cm taller to accomodate dual radiator all in one cooling. just might be what you're looking for.

Depending on your table and room - for me, I like the look of Cooler Master Elite 110.

I'm a user of ex M1 Ncase V4 and now getting the V6.
U can take a look at this case too, it does support water cooling AIO or customized CPU/GPU water cooling.
Alternatively you can search taobao for some small casing too.
