I'm doing a small build using a Mini ITX motherboard but not having much luck finding a mATX/ITX case with a front IO that includes a USB Type-C port?

I'm using a standard ATX sized PSU and will be air cooled.

I found the Phanteks Eclipse P200A but it's got the PSU mounted on the ceiling taking in warm air so I'm not too keen on it.

Nzxt h210i should have one.

I did consider that but it will only fit a 2 slot graphics card, not enough clearance for my gtx 1060 which is almost 3 slots.

I'm thinking about getting a seperate PCI slot adaptor to plug into the mobo's type-c slot like this Akasa one.

This is neat.

Lian Li also have one "Lian-Li Lancool II-4X USB 3.1 Type-C Internal Cable". I saw one of those famous tech reviewers on youtube mod his existing fractal case to fit it on.
 
Do you mean the PSU taking in warm air inside your case? If so I don't know what PSU you have but my fan never really comes on and I think that goes for most modern PSU as well. I'm looking at this case for myself as well.

I know it's not a massive problem having that oldskool psu-top design but I prefer having it pull cooler air from outside of the case. In the end I bought the Thermaltake Tower 100 though it's still in the post.

It has a daft/quirky design but it's one of the few small cases I came across that that can fit a large gfx card, tall cpu air coolers, atx psu and has a type-c 3.2 gen2 port.
