SMallest ATX Case (i.e. not SFF)

Riiya · 31 Aug 2006 at 23:52

Hi I just want to ask if anyone knows which is the SMALLEST ATX case I can get atm.

I want to see what I can get without getting an SFF PC

Thanks.

Lanboy is about the smallest a full sized ATX case can get.

Thats what I use right now!

Wish it didnt have the side window tbh though

It looks very good aswell, a thread with some pictures in floating about this section.

Search for black lanboy and it should come up.

What about a Lian Li V600?

They look stunning, have quite poor cooling and cost a fair bit, I think the G50 is the better of the two.

Although the v600 is a contender for the best looking case ever.

My silverstone LC-17 is pretty small, 425x425x165mm (WxDxH) iirc. Great cooling too with some good fans and looks good.

Lanboy is very small but easy to build in.

Heres a pic of mine with the X1800XT squeezed in: Click me!

I've actually got the cooling within acceptable bounds now - the Conroes run so cool, the crappy airflow doesn't actually matter anymore. And it is soooo good looking.

Thats cheating a bit as you halved the heat output, but I know what you mean, 3700 at 2.8ghz with 1 case fan at 5v in the Sugo, yet the Athlon XP was about 40deg hotter with the same fan config.

Every case has a use, but I can not see why you would take a v600 over a PC7+ just purely on being able to hold a system, looks aside.

You can't ignore the looks, surely. One is a well made square box and one is a thing of utter beauty. I've got all the drives stealthed with the proper panels and it just looks smooth. Plus it's black and we all know black is best!
