Hi LTT community,

I need recommendations for a PC case. I am shifting my pc components from my Corsair Carbide 400C.

I want to go for a SFF cube-style case to put in on my desk as my current corsair carbide 400c is on the floor. I really really like the Fractal Design Node 804. But sadly it cannot fit a ATX board, and its features seem rather old considering it still has a slit for optical drive and I think the USB is an old slower standard (?). I am considering the Lian Li o11 Air Mini. But the cheapest in Singapore costs about SGD$139. And If i want to buy a vertical GPU mount, I have to buy a separate part which is about another SGD$100.

So I am looking for suggestions from the community for similar cube-style cases

My criteria for the case is that it should fit an ATX board (my current board being MSI B450 tomahawk). GPU wise, currently I am using a Gigabyte GTX 1070ti. In future I plan to upgrade to RTX 3060TI, which i don't think are necessarily chonky enough to limit my case choices all that much. The case should also let me mount minimally 1 ~2 3.5" HDD and 1 ~ 2 2.5" SSD.

I used the Corsair 4000X in my 5900X build, but it may be a bit larger than you want. I honestly think you're going to have a hard time finding a cube-style SFF desktop case that will fit a full-size ATX board. However, you might check out these options from Corsair...
