Need a new case...requirements inside

[EarthDog]

Looking for a new case... the smaller the better. Like, MicroATX (likely using Mini-ITX board).

Reqs.....

* Must fit 3.5-slot+ (150mm) and 360mm long GPU
* Must support ATX PSU
* Must have FRONT USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gpbs) Type-C port
* Must support 3x120mm AIO


What's out there?

Thanks in advance for the help!

ITX/mATX that supports 360mm rad and 360mm graphics card is pretty much ATX

Maybe APNX V1. I guess the VGPU version is still unavailable, but the regular one supports long graphics cards and has a GPU holder. Maybe you will find something better.

V1 - APNX | Build Your Story

The APNX V1 mid-tower case delivers exceptional performance and sleek aesthetics. Its dual chamber structure and 45° angular intake design accentuate an environment engineered for cooling.

If you wish to write a review/preview, I can get you a sample

Yeah. The 360 AIO will be the challenge for finding an ITX.

I guess even harder with a 360mm/150mm and 3.5 slots for a graphics card. I don't think any small case has so much space.

I suppose I can go down to 2x120/140mm, but that means I'd have to buy an AIO. 9900X should be fine underneath it.

I'm trying to use existing parts as the monitor is going to kill me in this upgrade.

Corsair 2000D supports 360 AIO + 365mm graphics card but up to 3 slots. It's cheap, but probably because it doesn't sell well.

I wish more chassis specs would list WIDTH for GPUs too...

Lian-Li Q58 is very close to your Req's.


EDIT: The Lian-Li A3-mATX actually fits the bill, but the airflow for that build would be atrocious at best. lol

I have Jonsplus i100 Pro. It's +/- the same, but for ITX and one slot less on the bottom (still large holes and space for slim fans). No matter how the graphics card was installed, the airflow was a problem for a 250W card.

Jonsplus

JONSPLUS is a sub-brand of JONSBO,and the core guiding ideology of the brand is

I doubt any small case will have good enough airflow and enough space for a large 300W graphics card.

 

[EarthDog]

It will house a 5090 so, it would need airflow..........

Looks like ITX isn't a thing for that... damn.

APNX case is winning.......but not much smaller than my Y60....

I still have some review cases on hand if you're looking to save a little green. JLMK

I got this one for my wife. Supports full triple width GPU and a full sized PSU.

Does not support larger than 240 rad and does not have USB-C.

This would work, but no 360 radiator... https://www.newegg.com/white-thermaltake-the-tower-200-series-mini-itx/p/N82E16811133509 The next step up (300) gets you everything but the Mini-ITX capability.

Thanks guys!

no front panel USB-C = dealbreaker
that Tt case won't handle 3.5-slot wide GPU.

The one in your link is also SFX/SFX-L PSU not ATX and will only house a 240/280mm AIO. It certainly does look interesting though.

Yeah, it looks like additional sacrifices, read $$$, may have to come into play. Nothing like a 1KW SFX PSU, lol. There's a difference between physically won't fit and, 'damn I need to pay more money'!

ITX tax, Corvette tax...all the same.

 

[unsafesteagle]

modular swapping on front panel led , usb , switches etc..
thatd be a nice feature.
