Monolith cases?

Relentless81 · 24 May 2020 at 08:32

Hi,

Is that what they are called, monolith style cases?

So they have a small footprint, can be chimney air flow design with intake through the bottom and exhaust at the top.

Some examples are nzxt H1, Silverstone lucid, phanteks shift

Anyone know of any others? I'm after one mainly because I want the smallest footprint possible but struggling to find one so wondering if I've missed any.

The H1 is unavailable and I'm not keen on the aio anyway, the Lucid will only take a 2 slot GPU and it only comes in black, the Shift Air looks pretty ugly with the mesh and nice with the glass but is a hot box

Really hoping there is something over missed?

Thanks

What are you looking to fit in there? Maybe some other options out there for you.

A B550 board and a new CPU, possibly one of the new XT CPUs and an RDNA2 GPU but my Vega 56 for now, can you think of anything, not bothered about ITX or MATX just want the smallest footprint, can be as tall as it likes

Sliger SV590. But it's expensive.

Looks interesting I'll have a proper look into it thanks

Read into it, not for me. Adhesive feet on a £250 case, no ta. Looks like it's built for water cooling too

Thanks for the suggestion though, I had completely missed it otherwise.

Curveball option: Motif Monument?

[Edit] Sliger Console/Conswole? Zaber Sentry? Skyreach 4 Mini + power brick? Those are all pretty small footprints.

[Edit 2] DSE Breathe? Velkase 5 (although good luck getting one)?

[Edit 3] Salvo S402? Some kind of Modivio xCase? Fractal Node 202?

All Sliger cases are built in the USA. Hence, overpriced and with corners cut

Nouvolo Borg would have been a good shout. Except they made the case too short for most GPUs. You'd need an ITX (single fan) card. But at least there's space for a half decent CPU cooler.
