  1. Thank you for the ideas. My favorite of the ones you posted is that 301C, but I think the 'handle' on the glass would interfere with the desk mount as it has a lip that comes over the top to hold onto it. The Cougar 330-X looks like it will have a similar issue but in the opposite direction. The NR600 reminds me of the child of an NZXT H500 and Fractal Design Meshify C. I actually really like the aesthetics of it, considering its design I think I would prefer a ODD in it and I am struggling to find a vender with the ODD version for sale. The understated logo on side is wonderful. Amazon is cross promoting the NR400 with ODD to me which is, unfortunately, 210 mm wide. GamersNexus has a positive review of the NR600. I wish it had USB C, but will keep an eye this one's availability. The Versa J24 seems like a good case too. GamersNexus has a review of the J24 as well and confirms my suspicion that the RGB of the upgraded model isn't worth the price. That's sort of the killer for me as the only place that has the J24 is a third party UK seller asking $87 in shipping. The Cougar 330-G isn't terrible. It's not my favorite, but it does check some of the boxes and it does fit the size requirement. Thanks again for the suggestions.
  2. I am looking to mount my PC under a new standing desk, however the mount only holds a PC that is between 3.75 to 8.25 inches (9.5 to 20.9 cm) wide. Right now I have an NZXT H200 that is 8.27 inches (21 cm) wide. While I could probably make this fit by shaving a mm off the mount's padding, I am also having issues associated with my now out of warranty STRIX z370-i motherboard. Since I am likely going to have to replace my motherboard it would make for a good time to get a new case that better fits under my desk. I am having a really hard time finding a case that is narrow enough for this mount. What recommendations do you all have? Here is my attempt to predict follow-up questions. While I like the small form factor of the mITX cases, I am not married to that form factor, and since it will be out of the way I am less pressed to for a lower volume case. I am willing to move up in case size if it will fit in the desk mount: 3.75 to 8.25 inches (9.5 to 20.9 cm) wide 12 - 20.5 inches (30.48 - 52 cm) tall 50 lbs (22.67 kg) Fitting in the PC in the mount is my biggest concern right now, but if beggars can be choosers I would also say: My existing components: One optical drive bay or none I rarely use my OD, but it is an internal blu ray in an external case I eat up storage, right now I have: One m.2 (boot) Two 2.5" SSDs One internal 3.5" HDD + m.2 Optane Two internal 3.5" HDD in external USB 3.1 gen 1 cases I would love these to be inside the case... My GPU is 289 mm long with an AIO 120 mm radiator EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 HYBRID GAMING, 11G-P4-6698-KR 11.37 x 5.06 inches (289 x 128.5 mm) My CPU is cooled with a 240 mm AIO NZXT radiator I might consider replacing this with a new AIO radiator, if it made sense I prioritize lower temperatures over lower noise It will be under the desk, so I expect an additional barrier for the noise No acrylic windows (glass or no window is fine) In my experience acrylic windows make noise as temps change The sound acrylic makes annoys me and I don't want to risk it I would really like front USB C and / or USB 3.1 Gen 2 I have a MacBook Pro, so I have been moving to USB C peripherals. I wouldn't use front audio Easy to access and easy to clean intake filters I have a phantek case that requires removing both side panels to access the front filter. Drives me nuts. We have cats... RGB: Don't care... but... I have iCue (Corsair) compatible keyboard, mouse, and RAM. I am testing the Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard FLOW (PC/Mac) feature so the Corsair peripherals may be replaced. My workflow is pushing the need for more RAM, so that too may be replaced eventually My Asus motherboard has Aura Sync and it has trouble remembering to shut off at shutdown. NZXT's CAM software is fine, but I wouldn't run it if I replace my CPU radiator. Budget... I am not going to provide one I expect a lot of discounts/sales over the next few months There can be other factors that justifiably impact price and I don't want to rule out a case because of something like material quality or low production numbers. Dreaming... After a long, long time I am about to get my DVM degree, so being able to etch / sticker the Aesculapian V rod on the case would make me oh so happy.
