need helping finding the right mini itx case

[decimusbell]

Hi all

I'm looking for a case, as close to what you see in this pic. The pic shows a poorly photo-shopped Modivio case- http://modivio.com/

I need something that will hold a itx motherboard, proper sfx psu - e.g. corsair sfx450  and room for cable management. 

More importantly is is able to fit enough fans to keep cool- but also it doesn't have a space for a graphics card. I don't want the annoyance of having wasted space where the graphics card would go. 

Any thoughts from anyone welcome.

Just get a NUC type machine? Like the ASrock Desk Mini with a cheap used R5 2400G, dunno if the bios supports the Ryzen 3000 CPUs without an update.
 

Otherwise there's these kinds of cases with Flex ATX power supplies.

sorry all,

but i dont like either of those options 

 

not keen on the flex psu- would much prefer the sfx unit from corsair- 

nuc is way too small for me- its generally not powerful enought.

and the 2 cases are not very nice. 

i dislike cube cases but of the fact they stack components rather ,badly on top of each other- used to have a shuttle pc years ago and that just overheated.

2 issues with this case

 

1- half the case is designed to take a graphics card i wont be putting in there. 

2- the price.

Ok, what hardware will you be using? what form factor do you want and what price range are you looking at?
