Compact mini itx and SFX case needed

Pickers · 24 Aug 2018 at 18:21

Hey all,
I have an old mini itx motherboard and SFX power supply that I wanted to cram into a small space and run headless for storage of key documents.
Can anyone suggest a cheap basic case? Second hand ones seem hard to come by.
I don't need to add gfx card and will put in an SSD.
Thanks!!

Thoughts on the Silverstone ml06-E?
Its seems unless I go for a Pico PSU, then this is the smallest I've found...

Looks good to me, I would have suggested DAN case but that would be a waste unless it is used for a high end system.

Gosh that silverstone case is only 10cm wide, doubt you'd find much smaller. They are normally good quality too.

The other option is the Antec 110 mini itx case. I have use one for 7 years as an HTPC, has a built in power supply to, though only 80w, but is fine for a low power system.

(ignore the 90w claim it is actually 80w)

That looks internally identical to the ML09 I've just built. I have a thread in Project Logs describing how it all went together but I'd say go for it as long as it's a reasonably low-powered CPU and a low-profile HSF.
