Been struggling with this one - trying to find a horizontal case that is 21cms high or less (or 21cms wide or less on a vertical) that can fit an ATX mobo, standard sized PSU and 280mm radiator (and a decent sized GPU but nothing too large, 3080 FE for example). Already got the parts as it's mostly my old PC parts. Looked through a bunch, the Silverstone HTPC cases looked great but fall down on radiator support sadly and hard to find others.

Think the most promising I've found is Phanteks P300 running it horizontal while unscrewing the feet. Any other suggestions?
 
280 rad may be difficult. But, a steacom f12c may fit the bill for the rest of it if you dropped to a 240 rad.

Looks like a hifi too.

Mine at the moment... ATX board, 3x 120 fans pushing air left to right and the PSU sucking air from the Cpu side as well.

There are rails that cross above the Cpu which are slotted for fans / rads. Not sure they would span to 140mm wide, but they are adjustable as you can see in the pic. . I'll measure if you want.

Height is limited to 135mm cards, but you may squeeze a bit more. My GPU is a 1080ti mini in there.

That looks great! But these are not really available nowadays sadly. Seems to mostly fit the bill though.

Joking aside, I am thinking of moving on from mine back to a tower. Not sure what the rules are for selling stuff out with the members market. (I don't have enough posts yet )

Apparently you can mount the 280mm radiator at the top of the case - quite impressive. And I'm guessing a 3080 founders edition which is only mms taller than the PCIE bracket would fit easily within the case too when I eventually decide to replace it.

Is a real shame it's not available to purchase new. Shame you aren't a part of the members market because we can't trade outside of it.

Think I found another case that totally fits the bill in the Sliger Cerberus X - but it is expensive and will take a while to order!
