I need an ITX case with ATX psu support

Budget (including currency): Around 100 but can go over

Country: UK

Existing parts: I have an amd stock am4 cooler, a ryzen 2600x, a cx450m psu (corsair), MSI RX 6600, and normal size ram. Will choose MB based on case choice, using parts i have laying around

Details: i know its not the best parts list, just something i can take on the go. Im using parts i already have and am not building for performance, rather convenience. Just looking for a case, and if you want to suggest a motherboard i wont stop you.

The most portable cases IMO are:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CC9DXDDB/

 

They do need an SFX PSU though but are insanely portable, easy to build in and do not block the CPU heatsink intake which a lot of ITX cases do that have ATX PSU support as they often put it above the CPU cooler.

 

Ones supporting ATX PSUs are a lot less portable from what I've seen.  I personally have the SilverStone SUGO 14 which is somewhat portable, but not nearly as easy, compact or as good airflow as the above.

I wouldn't really call that particularly portable.  I have a Thermaltake The Tower 200 and while its fairly compact, its very bulky to move.  Pretty much all ITX towers still seem awkward to move around as they're meant to be compact, not portable.

The MiniNeo S400 really is something else.  Its not just that its small, its really light weight and as both the GPU and CPU are right next to the vented sides, airflow and ease of getting to everything is great too.

 

Being able to carry a PC with a beefy GPU in a single hand feels quite surreal.

I quite enjoyed building in the SSUPD Meshlicious, and I believe even the Cooler Master NR200/P case can take an ATX PSU with an adapter bracket.

SAMA IM01 is a great option

true, but the fractal is a decent but smaller than the tower

If you go for a case with a front mounted psu then you can get the size down by a lot and even stil use an matx mobo such as the d31 mesh

 

Message me on discord (bread8669) for more help

You can fit an atx psu in the Node 304, but be sure to look that the GPU can fit. 

mITX is awesome! I regret nothing (apart from when picking parts or have to do maintainance *cough*cough*)
