i5 7500 or Ryzen 5 1400 for SFF?

What are you doing regarding the cooler?

Must be a pretty small case if a stock cooler won't fit.

Edit: sorry, didn't see your post that the stealth cooler on the 1400 fits.it should still be fine e for a 3.6 oc if not 3.7

Darn that thing is narrow. Does it include risers/cables for pci-e cards to fit sideways? (Or am I just looking at those images wrong?)

It does, I think you can see it more clearly in images on the Silverstone website. I think it's like a PCB riser sort of built into the case.
Now wondering if there's anything sorta similar in size that's a bit wider so has greater cooler clearance.

But I do like that case...

That case is actually really nice. I can see now why the cooler is an issue though, I thought my old case was narrow and limited me in terms of coolers but that thing is on a whole new level. I wonder if you could fit the smallest aio in there somehow?

Now thinking about this case:
My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Silverstone Raven RVZ03B Mini-ITX HTPC Case - Black (SST-RVZ03B)= £94.99

Total: £105.49
(includes shipping: £10.50)

I don't like it as much, but it does have a bigger cooler clearance that I think would allow me to use the Wraith Spire cooler on the 1500X or 1600.

I hate choosing cases, My last case which I only replaced recently was bought back in 2003 or something like that, It's just so hard to tell what the case will be like without actually prodding it a little bit.

Since the goal is to take it to LAN parties I like the handle, but I guess the size is the important bit.

So small you could leave it at your desk.
