Hi im planning on building a small but capable gaming mini itx pc with one of the new amd kaveri APU's and i'm currently trying to find the smallest mini itx case that could fit a low profile gpu such as the msi r7 240,I currently have my eye on the Streacom ST-F1C WS but i can't find any videos on youtube about it and i can only make out by the pictures that it seems to be one of the most compact cases ive seen yet.

Can the Streacom ST-F1C house a low profile gpu or can someone else give me another recommendation.

The last and main thing i would like to say is that the main reason i wish to find the smallest case possible is because i want to pack it in a ruksack as i frequently travel between two country's.
 
No it can't.

You need:

1) a small case
2) realistic components for a tiny case
3) power supply which can power it all

What you might like is the Jou Jye 568i or 528i which comes with a 250w psu, it's not flash but it works.

I have one myself and it fits into a rucksack with a 17" screen, keyboard and cables easily.

You also do not want a R7 240 which is 85w, you want a low profile 7750 which is 55w and performs better.

For a CPU you should be looking at about 65w or less. The wattage isnt because the psu cant handle more its because the case heats up due to the tiny space being rubbish at cooling.
