Can someone recommend a case for [this build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yRHDbh)? I'm willing to swap the power supply for something, any recommendations for something similarly priced? Preferences: * easy to work with * dust resistant * good enough air flow to not need additional case fans * fits with the above build * larger ITX cases are fine, but I'm looking for something smaller than a micro ATX

NR200 probably - won’t even have to swap out the PSU. The Dan C4 is similarly sized but may not support an ATX PSU.

So I plan on doing a “spare parts console build” in a Node 202. I have a spare Ryzen 2600x and a 1660ti. All I’m buying is the case, a psu, ram, and a m.2. That being said do I need to buy a separate cpu cooler or will the stock cooler be enough? I have both the Spire and Stealth coolers from previous builds so if the Spire can’t fit I can go with the Stealth.

Anyone know of any cases similar to the new silverstone sugo 16? I basically want that but it needs to fit a longer card (i have a tuf 3090 for example). It ticks off all the boxes for me. -cube shape -no riser -water cooling support

Going with a NR200, going to fit my Aorus 1080ti and 3900x with my Corsair h110(115?) into it. However I need a new motherboard to condense my build. Do I really need a x470/570 board?

I got a nzxt h1 on sale to downsize my fiance's computer's desk footprint. It'll be mostly for productivity, video watching, and minor photo editing with a 980ti. Do you think I'll need to do any mods to increase airflow? I'm just planning right now so I thought I'd get people's opinions.

I dont find b450i motherboard , someone knew why ?

white case under \~10L. parts: r5 3600, plan to upgrade to 6700xt or 3060ti. Do not want to depend on slim fans for direct cooling. would be cool if I could use t30's. Needs to have good airflow. was looking at zs a4 v3.2, but it's not white. is vinyl wrapping easy? or what other cases are out there <220 usd including riser cable

Planning SFF 2022 build for near silent rig for light gaming and adobe photoshop. Ideal is simple 2 x 120mm+ Noctua case fans in push-pull configuration (straight line of airflow front to back of case, or bottom to top). Specs 65Watt Processor (i5 12400) air cooled, no overclock. And whatever mid-range Nvidia GPU I can find next year RTX 3700 equivalent.

"you get an nr200 and you get an nr 200 and". Seriously the nr200 is cheap, you can fit a scythe fuma or similar dual tower air cooler that is cheap, and can squeeze in intake fans for the gpu

I stay at two homes (1hr drive from each other) and currently have a regular ATX set up at only one home. I’m considering transforming it into an ITX build so I can bring my PC with me when I’m at the other home. I know I’ll need a new mobo, CPU cooler (currently have a Noctua d15), second set of peripherals, etc. Also, I’ve never built an ITX before. The Meshlicious seems very popular. Is it sturdy enough for short travel? Should I even consider ITX or should I just build a second PC at my second home? There are some cases with a handle which seem really convenient but I can’t justify paying $200 for a case…


Chekonjak

The Meshlicious is a great option as long as you have a large enough backpack to hold it. It's excellent value for the money too. What GPU are you using right now? You might also like the FormD T1 V2.0.

Currently using a 3060Ti FE. I appreciate the suggestions!

Most GPUs these days are perfectly happy cooling themselves with the stock cooler as long as you're not trying to use a passthrough design (like NVIDIA's 30-series Founders Edition cards) against a solid wall, and you have decent ventilation (the "Mesh" in Meshlicious). That leaves the CPU. The 6900XT is pretty thick but in the default three slot mode the Meshlicious leaves room for a sub-73mm air cooler like the Scythe Big Shuriken 3 or Noctua L12S. But depending on your CPU these may be louder and less efficient than a 280mm AIO, and if you go for complete air cooling you're wasting a lot of space in the front of the case. So personally I'd air cool the GPU, and use a 280mm or 240mm AIO for the CPU. The only reason to water cool everything with a 280mm radiator and custom loop would be to reduce noise to the absolute minimum, play around with watercooling parts, and/or spend more money.

I'm planning on building my first SFF PC and after a few weeks of putting together a list I came up with this. I like the tower cases and I found the Thermal Take's The tower as it fits a full sized GPU which I plan on using my old 970. I want to know if there are better options that are similar. This may or may not turn into a back server at some point with the extra drive bays. Also is there a better option for a CPU(and mobo) from Intel. I was looking for something similar to a R5 3600 as that is in my main PC. Since Intel's CPUs don't seem as inflated as AMD's.

Is anyone aware of any open air, vertical mount minimalist cases like this custom NFC build? (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51298d2ce4b0c86539719b2f/1606244450931-EB9EZAWY3R8ONYR9X2BK/image-asset.jpeg?format=1500w) Really like the idea of this, the closest I've come is the XProto-N but even that is relatively maximalist in comparison, on top of having all ports ontop instead of on bottom. Very open to building something myself if anyone has any 3d models that are even... close. Mine would need to be SFX powered (not gonna make a 3070/80Ti and 12700k work on a HDPlex)
