Looking for flat mATX HTPC w/ height restriction

mwomp

I've got some nice parts to fit into a mATX case, but the space I have to place it is limited. 33cm (~13") deep, 9.5cm (~4 1/2") tall, and 55cm (~22") wide. Ideally it wouldn't end up being less deep than what I have, and can go an inch or two more deep, but strict height and width. I don't want to worry about budget right now, just want to see if anything even matches. Also, I don't care about glass/showing off, because it'll be tucked inside.

 

Cryorig has one that Linus reviewed a while back, but it's an ITX (and missing a disc bay)

I DID see that LianLi has one, the OS6X or whatever, but that thing costs $300 and isn't the right dimensions. It is a really beautiful case, though.

 

Hardware:

  mATX x58m w/ low-profile Noctua heatsink

  GTX 1060 SC - Single Fan

  650 GQ PSU

  Blu-ray drive
  4x USB hub (can skip if case comes with 4 usb, or can just get an external hub, but I have the hardware and it looks cleaner)

  2x SSD


My idea was that a full-sized GPU could be mounted horizontal with a riser.

 

I have it mapped out in rough correct cm, as far as if I were to build it myself, but wanted to check if there are existing similar cases because I don't own any tools and would rather save the time. Is my layout misguided? I haven't seen ANYTHING remotely close in a cheaper budget for this kind of layout. Everything's all boxy or missing the drive bay.

On a similar note, does anyone have any advice for making custom cases?

Thanks a billion

The only thing that comes close is this:

But it cant do full height GPU's. What kind of GPU are you looking to put in this thing, something for gaming? You can often find low profile 1050ti's for decent 1080p gaming.

Ah yes, I think I've peeked at that one before. I have a GTX 1060 SC single-fan, so it's short but not low-profile.
After letting YouTube autoplay LTT a bit I saw a server rack, so I'm browsing those on Newegg currently. Thanks for helping
