Looking for a small PC case that will accomodate a True Heatsink. My mate wants to get the smallest case possible that will aslo fit his beloved True Heatsink! Any recommendations? Thanks.
 
The true is fairly broad, and fairly tall. Dimensions are 132 wide, 64 deep, 162mm tall measured on the one sat on my desk.

I'd have thought most will fit it, have a look at the case dimensions. It'll have to be more than 162 wide, probably by about 4cm. Its an estimate, but any case wider than 20cm should be fine. It fits comfortably in my 180mm wide matx case, which is a 20 quid gigabyte effort and tiny

matc or atx? If atx, he wants the lian li 105n. If matx, there's some more competition.If mini itx, none of the cases will hold it.
 
if you get a smaller cpu cooler it will not make that much difference, your case has to be a decent size, it just about fits in my p182!
 
My mate likes the True so much he wants to build a system around it!! He would like a Micro case if possible. Antec make nice cases like the Mini P180. He is the same as me though, he hates doors!! The interior looks ace though.

Its an Matx board he is after. He doesn't overclock but wants a good CPU. Preferably a Quad or Tri core one.
 
Another vote for the A05 - great little case - but just as deep as a standard tower.
Also a TRUE will fit in a NZXT Rogue - bit of a pig to fit and needs to run paralell to the psu but it works.

+1 for A05

P182 small? I don't think so... House mate has one. Its massive compared to my PC7+ (which also takes a TRUE120 happily) and it weights more than I do! I wouldn't recommend that as a small case.
 
Oh, it's not? Always looked small in pictures, my bad
Got to love heavy cases. My akasa has nothing but dampening tape and radiators in it and weighs silly amounts already
