ITX Case Advice!

[Jackabamba]

Need some advice please, Currently have a H200i and love it but want a smaller footprint. What are the best Mini ITX cases out there? Ncase M1 looks great but cant find it in stock anywhere. Really not bothered by clear panels, Just want a minimal look.

Thanks in advance!

What type of case are you looking for, htpc or tower type. I've got 2 Fractal Design Node 202 and just like the understated design.

I love the Ncase M1 to be honest but there is only 1 on ebay!

echo this !

though mines been modified for triple slot GPU and ATX board

if you happen to have ATX PSU thats under 150mm in length then you can use that, believe Tamzzy has done this

I like the TU150 but it isnt much smaller than the H200i, H200i is 334mm, TU150 is 312mm
The Ncase M1 is 140mm! I dont think there is anything that matches sadly

M1 pre-orders will reopen around the 2nd of May, directly from the Ncase website. They don't (officially) partner with any resellers.

Good luck. PSU prices have gone silly over the past few weeks.

Currently have an InWin Chopin housing a 3400G - Doing a bit more 1080p gaming with the missus in the living room currently, and the case and APU are showing their limitations.

Got a Cougar QBX coming on Saturday which I'll throw the 3400G and my old GTX 970 in to - Looks to be a well reviewed case for the price and a reasonably small foot print.

 

[Jackabamba]

Cheers mate, Ill check it out

 

[Jackabamba]

I tell you what that case looks good! I think I might get this one....

 

[Little_Crow]

Just to note, the Cougar QBX requires that the PSU be no longer than 140mm, and that the socket on the back is a particular orientation.
I was hoping to use my old PSU, but it's 10mm too long so have had to buy a new one.
