3 internal drives including one hdd

it has optical drive bays and the front hdd cage which I suppose could be done without only if I can move the storage elsewhere. I think modern cases have those options.

so 2 SSD and 1 HDD, and you need 5.25? Im doing both no 5.25 and with 5.25 to split hair.

I want a smaller case than my current Corsair 400R.
Dimensions (521mm x 206mm x 503mm)

No dimensional constrain? Ill use the liter to signify compactness then.

Reference

400R: 53L

 

ATX

Fractal Design Pop Air: 46L (-7)

275R Airflow (no 5.25): 44L (-9)

SSUPD Meshroom S (hard to find, and its compact build so youll have a hard time building with ATX non modular PSU and youll need new low profile cooler): 15L (-38)

 

mATX

Fractal Design Focus G Mini: 36L (-17)

Fractal Design Pop Air Mini: 36L (-17)

Masterbox NR400 with ODD (there's also no 5.25 version with 1 extra fan mount): 35L (-18)

Asus Prime AP201 (no 5.25): 33L (-20)

Fractal Design Meshify 2 Mini (no 5.25): 32L (-21)

 

I'm looking for suggestions.

 

Full size atx motherboard.

 

Deepcool ak520 cooler

 

rx5700xt

 

full size atx power supply

 

3 internal drives including one hdd.

 

I want a smaller case than my current Corsair 400R.
Dimensions (521mm x 206mm x 503mm)


it has optical drive bays and the front hdd cage which I suppose could be done without only if I can move the storage elsewhere. I think modern cases have those options.

A small footprint is very important for me.

you could try this fractal north Fractal Design North ATX Mid Tower Case (FD-C-NOR1C-03) - PCPartPicker

Mark the solution as solution 

Take my advice with a grain of salt. Not too much tho, we don’t want ourselves getting dehydrated do we?

Two reasons to why you’ve scrolled down here 1. You’re curious 2. I’ve got a stalker 👀
