Help finding small form factor case with E-ATX motherboard

TheNuzziNuzz

My current case is HUGE. It's way too big. It's a caselabs THX10A.

I'm running a Gigabyte TRX AORUS XTREME motherboard

And I want to downgrade to just 2 RTX 3090s.

Currently I'm running 4 480mm rads, 2 d5s.

I'm looking for the smallest case that would pack this config, with the most rad space. I do understand i'll be compromising a little.

And when I say small form factor, I do understand it won't be tiny....but I want to see what my options are. The biggest trouble is this motherboard's slightly larger than standard E-ATX Size

I mean honest question, Why? Would it not be better to have a seperate build in the newer case that can use non water cooled 3090 so you dont have to rerun all the tubes and such and just leave that one there? 

 

I understand if you dont want to go that route, but that would save you so much time is just having that build be in that one, and if you wanted to do otherstuff, you have that machine for that. Since There really isnt gonna be anything that much smaller for the amount of rads you have and such. Multi 480 cases arent exactly small....

You don't have a mobo that's going to support anything I'd call SFF. Might want to rethink what you're asking for, and use proper terminology 😉

You could try the Sliger Cerberus X, though since your board is slightly bigger I kind of doubt it'll fit. It also means drastically reducing the radiator capacity.

 

Your build doesn't really fit into anything SFF. Or, frankly, even most full tower cases.

Plenty of cases can fit an eatx and a pair of cards. If you arent wating to change the rad condig and possibly go to a single pump combo, then you are gonna be quite limited.
