i have a mini itx mobo and low profile cpu cooler (link at end) and i really want to get a pc case that just has space for a psu and mobo. no extra space. no gpu or anything. though, i want able to find any case like that.

 

please help

    

   EDIT!!!!!  :

i did some research (witch i should of since the start) and i found out the the existence of pico psus!! (yayy)

now i have another question. are they safe?

i want to run a i7 7700k and an ssd and the cpu cooler i mentioned. what wattage should i get. what is the cheapest psu/case can i get without loosing reliability.

no

you don't power higher end components with cheap garbage you found on amazon while doing zero wattage calculations.

they make several but you would typically not use a purposely small case and incorrect cpu cooler to build a machine that had all the disadvantages of a laptop with zero advantages of any form other than "it's slightly smaller than normal"

is there a reason you need only a high end cpu with no form of graphics in an incorrect format?

what are you talking about.... i7 7700k is NOT high end in ANY way. and it has integrated gpu. i dont understand anything about pico psus so blame me on that but i7 7700k is from 2017 and has a 91 tdp. i think most pico psus can support this hence they are over 150w

 

AND WTF??? incorrect cpu cooler??? its an lga 1151 socket and i think im pretty right thank you.

So... any slim case where your cooler fits? You probably need to specify cooler to get more accurate suggestions. From top, Silverstone makes pretty good slim cases.
