Vertical PC cases

[matt3344]

I'm looking to make the jump to AM5 platform soon, and would ideally like to make more room on my desk for other things, as I currently run a mid-tower which takes up a lot of desk room. I had been looking at the Corsair 2000D, which looks like a giant Series X with mesh. Perfect for what I need. The issue is there are no listings for it anymore Most mini ITX tower cases won't fit my GPU, as I have a chonky Merc 310 XFX 7900XTX GPU (344mm length without a support bracket). Is there anything similar that would fit this 30+cm 3 slot chonk of a card?

TIA

How about the Lian Li B4?

Slightly smaller than the Corsair but MATX so wider choice of motherboards and not paying MITX prices.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Lian Li B4 mATX Mesh Black (SKU: CAS-LIA-07995) = GBP59.90

Total: GBP67.89 (includes delivery: GBP7.99)​

With a compact 21.3L volume, the B4-mATX delivers impressive hardware compatibility, supporting M-ATX motherboards, 360mm AIOs, 140mm ATX PSUs, and up to 358mm 4-slot GPUs.

Deepcool CH270 can fit 4 slots. Matx too.

Thanks both so much! They both look like great cases

I was looking at this but the Hardware Canucks review put me off. I don't like the idea of the GPU cooking the PSU. Jump to 4:05 if my link doesn't.

I'm going vertical, so I would get a 1 degree improvement though

Not defending the case, but a SFX PSU with individual wrapped cabes would maybe be better. (Corsair SFX for example)

As for the PSU getting cooked, i wonder if it would have been best to keep the AIO as exhaust and switch the case fans to intake.
That way all the heat is not been dumped into the case. Also his AIO did not fit properly because he used thicker fans than normal.

Like i say i'm not defending the case as i have no experience with it, just me wondering.

WIN!
I'm not necessarily going vertical but wanting a switch to a smaller case from my Fractal Torrent Compact so that I can put it on, rather than under, my desk. Everything's pointing me at the Lian Li O11 VISION-M right now, although it almost has the same footprint as my Fractal
Between that and the rather meh selection of mATX boards right now I might go ITX instead - just sucks that the boards cost basically double.
Edit - I had my filters wrong on ocuk. Plenty boards to choose from with some really nice ones way under £200

Some more fiddling might have solved his issue I guess. I haven't given it enough though tbf.
