horizontal (desktop) SFF case

[asheenlevrai]

Hi

 

I'm looking for a relatively good/neutral looking case that should fit in the following space:

 - width: max 80cm

 - height: max 28cm

 - depth: max 40cm

 

A tower case positioned on the side shouldn't show inelegant parts that would otherwise be hidden, like feet etc...

 

I would like the following features:

 - support for a 240mm AIO

 - support for a modern GPU (dual slot at least I guess)

 - at least one USB3.0 port on the front (type-c would be welcome but it seems like this is pretty exceptional)

 - no visible cutting for ODD since I won't be using any

 

I found several potential options but none of them seem like what I'm looking for:

 - FRACTAL DESIGN Node 202 (air cooling only)

 - Silverstone Sugo 14 (CPU water block height limit is 55mm.  Radiator thickness can not be greater than 120mm. I don't know yet how much of a problem this can be)

 - FRACTAL DESIGN Node 304 (120mm AIO max, GPU support?)

 - Silverstone SG13 (relatively ugly, 120/140mm AIO max) Type C port on the mesh front panel version

 - THERMALTAKE Core V1(relatively ugly, 120/140mm AIO max)

 

And finally I found out about the Raijintek Pan Slim. It's beautiful and checks all the boxes. But its very expensive.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Best,

I love my Tu150, but it doesn't have 240mm support. Only 120mm if you're set on water.

Something like the Sliger SV540 may work for you, tough it's on the expensive side.

Well the LianLi Tu150 is too high (312mm) and would look terrible laying on its side...

Too high for the standing position. Laying on its side, the bottom with all the IO and cables would be apparent.

Derp. My bad. Forgot about the horizontal part.

Silverstone gd11 is EXACTLY what I want.

Cannot wait for it to become available...

The whole gd lineup is out right now if you need a case atm.  The haf xb evo is an option too but the height is too much.

Thanks but I feel like all of them look terrible. As far as I understood none of the current gd models support 240mm rads (gd11 will be the 1st one)

 

Thanks again.
