mITX cases - Are there ANY that support a 240mm radiator?

VincentHanna · 31 Jul 2013 at 08:17

I know it might seem strange, but I'm trying to build a PC that'll fit on my AV Cabinet under the TV and I picked up a fairly reasonable Cooler Master Seideon 240mm liquid cooling kit.

But are there actually any (smallish) mITX cases that it'll fit in? Ideally without having to lose the optical drive (as it'll be a blu-ray player as well)

Does it have to be ITX?

If you want ITX the Prodigy is the only one i can think of, though it is as big as some mATX cases: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-073-BX&groupid=2362&catid=2279

Another option (mATX) would be the Parvum S1.0: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-PS&groupid=2362&catid=2278

Ideally ITX yes, only because I was trying to do away with my PC desk completely.

I know the Corsair 350d does as well but again, it's mATX and still rather large.

What do you think of the prodigy/Parvum? Suitable?

They are both smaller (much) than the 350D

Parvum is too expensive for me and not keen on Acrylic for that sort of cash.

Assuming you can take the handles off the prodigy, then it doesn't look too bad, though I would prefer front power/usb ports and I'm pretty certain you can't have an optical drive if you install a 240mm radiator, which is a problem.

It sounds like what i'm after doesn't really exist at the moment, but there's probably things in the pipeline.

Sounds like the Ncase M1 may suit you: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ncase-m1-prototype-a-mini-itx-case

Though its only a prototype and not sure when/if it will be sold.

You would need a SFX PSU too..

Traditional tower Wise the PS07 would work: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-214-SV&groupid=2362&catid=1092
