Does my dream case exist... ITX, glass panel, inverted MB

[d_brennen]

Looking to build a SFF around the AM4 platform and looking for a decent case. The PC would be on my left hand side, for reasons, so I'd like the window side to be the right hand panel. This would obviously mean inverted MB and also means the GPU shroud would be visible, which is nice.

I've seen ATX cases like this but not ITX.

Criteria:
Quality construction (Alu?)
Understated/clean looks (not gamerzz bling)
Decent thermals
Filters if possible
Not gigantic for ITX but space for a decent AIO
£150 landed

I'd consider mATX too if the size won't be too much bigger.

Ideas? TIA

Raijintek Metis Plus?

Main drawback against your spec would be the window; it's small. But fitting a full-size one is a common mod for this case, and not the toughest DIY job really. Will check out modding posts for it, really wanted an off the shelf solution though.

There's also a Chinese knock-off version that already has a full side window. Not easy to order outside of China though.

The knock-off looks better than the real deal Was considering the Metis actually but the lack of whole glass panel is off putting. Windows are so last millennium

Slightly over your budget, but ITX. Inverted motherboard tray. Supports full size GPU's. Full aluminum.

Free CPU cooler with it too

Probably a great case but too garish for me. I loved my Mini P180 back in the day, that looked smart (for the time)

Also, browsing on my phone but don't see the mention it cooler

Raijintek Ophion? (although you wouldn't see the GPU - sandwich design).

It got a real panning on a review I saw for noise and temps, though they tested it with no fans as it comes with none (who does this?!)

This one

It's an option I'm keeping in mind. I'd use an AIO in the roof and a slim intake on the bottom, but as you say the GPU is on the "wrong" side. And squished against the glass

I love my Raijintek Thetis, but it's probably bigger than you want. I have a full ATX builld in mine.

Thanks, think I'm going with the Thetis, there's not much choice for what I want in ITX

Ok thread bump, I'm going to compromise somewhat and move my desk about but I think I've found a winner: Metallic Gear Neo G. OCUK don't stock it at the moment though. Thoughts? Never heard of them before but apparently it's a sub brand of Phanteks

If you wind up ordering one, I'll be interested to see how you get on. I basically went through the same list as you, except without the inverted layout requirement. Both Neo cases were on my short list. At 25.2 litres, they're the smallest ITX case I've seen with a traditional tower design.

If OCUK don't come through with stocking this case I'll just order from the big river, but I'll give them first refusal as I use this forum Space is at a premium but I don't really bother with bleeding edge overclocking these days, and would rather not deal with too many SFF issue either
