SFF cases without PSU compartment?

[PurpleLivvie]

Hello all!

Recently I've gotten for free an Acer prebuilt PC (Acer Aspire XC-704 from 2015) that I plan to use as a secondary PC. However, upon opening it, I realized just how much of the case was empty and I was starting to wonder if there were options for much, much smaller cases to fit the internals in.

 

Basically, the motherboard appears to be a Mini-DTX format and the computer uses an external power supply. So far though, I've only been able to find cases that all had a space for an internal power supply. Are there any SFF cases out there that don't have said space for the internal power supply to make them smaller? The only requirements for the case are to have two half-length PCI slots, since I added more ports on the computer with a PCI-E card, and obviously fit the motherboard itself. There's no real height to the cooler on the CPU and it's rather tiny, so if the case is thick enough for half-length PCI slots, it will fit.

 

TIA!
