Diddy ATX case

Flareon · 21 May 2008 at 20:54

Looking for a case to fit a standard ATX mobo in with an 8800GTX but not much else. It's all externally watercooled so I want to keep it as small as possible.

Any thoughts?

looks at below post. Ooooops. That's what I meant!

A05! I want one!

any chance of something like a A05 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-087-LL&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=187) fitting it?

Yeh the A05. Honestly that's what I had in my above post..... *shifty eyes*

lol.

Yeh I had that in mind previously for my server case. Thing is though the A05 isn't that small. It's actually deeper than a standard case, slightly shorter and just as wide.

Any more ideas guys?

Doubt you'll do any better with standard ATX though.

Which dimension is most important for you. Depth?

Silverstone - LC04 (115x420x310) 300w psu
Silverstone - LC02 (100x380x295) 240w psu

inc power supply are low wattage (warning - older stock has 220w psu's)
but will still run a single card solution (case uses riser cards)

Antec NSK4480 is one of the smallest towers at 420x200x420 (H,W,D) 80plus 380w psu inc with is nice

LL PC05 - 381x210x490 - short but deep
LL PC-V880 - 160x380x465 - if you can find one

LL PC-V800 - 160x380x440 - as above
NZXT Duet - 148x455x455 - poor air cooling but ok if water cooled
Compucase 7106 - 154x426x430 - cheap
Mcubed classic - 145x430x450 - over kill for Watercooling
Mcubed mini - 90x430x380 - as above
Aplus Case CS-GL-3 (153x370x452) - cheap with small frontage

why not get a M-ATX board?

Flareon · 22 May 2008 at 22:52

Thanks, shadow. Amusingly the V880/V800 seem the best choice...

MATX is an option but I would have to find a decent board.

Flareon · 22 May 2008 at 23:18

Tempted to get a Sunbeamtech UFO acrylic and mod it if the 8800GTX won't fit. Can't be much in it as the card isn't -that- much bigger than the board and acrylic is easy to come by/work with.

nearly used a black V800 for my recent build - but got the silverstone CW01 instead as it was silver, and really liked my previous silverstone - one of the worse decisions I ever made :rolleyes:

the cube looks good at at H 300mm x W 295mm x D 380mm its a nice tight design for a ATX case :cool:
