Best case for an ITX build?

ZeRedz

What's a really good ITX case that has really good airflow and has enough space for an ATX PSU?

 

Recommendations of ITX cases that don't support ATX PSUs are also welcome.

It's a good case and all, but I'm not sure if it's available in my country. I appreciate you recommending me that case though.

Sugo SG13 or the Termaltake Core V1. I had a fiddle with the Core v1, Snow edition at a mates house. It's adorable!

Is the Core V21 any good?

Core v21 is Micro-ATX, Core v1 is ITX. Both can use an ATX PSU, which is what you asked for in the OP. The core V21 is just the V1 scaled up.

Oh, I see. My bad, I thought the v21 was ITX. Got to ask, is it a rarity nowadays to see ITX cases that support ATX PSUs?

It always has been a tad rare, but it's becoming more common. Generally, if you wanted to use an ITX board your choices were limited and you were doing it because you wanted a miniature build where other PSU types (SFX or Flex?) were better suited to a tiny case.

I see. I don't mean to bother you, but what if I were to go with an ITX case that supports PSUs of the same form factor as Corsair's SF power supplies? I know there's an abundance of ITX cases in the market, but which ones are the best in terms of airflow?

I'm afraid I can't answer that very well. I've looked at, and lusted after a cute wee mini-ITX build, but have no real experience with them. From what I've read, the best airflow for a mini-ITX is the Core v1. Another contender for me on cooling is the NZXT's H200i as it can take a rad.

 

Again though, I have no real experience with either, I'm only going off what the Internet has told me.

Well then it's a good idea to mention your country ;)

Well, I'm from Karachi, Pakistan. Reason why I didn't mention my country is because I felt like there probably aren't that many people from the same country as me.

I love my Thermaltake core V1, with a bitfenix phantom pro on the front and two bequiet 80mm on the back the airflow can be just plain silly if you want it to be.
