Looking for mini ITX case: 340 GPU length + 240mm AIO cooler

xdcc · June 12, 2024

I already purchased the main components for my next build, including a 14900K CPU and Gigabyte 4090 OC GPU. The GPU requires 340 of clearance, and 3.5 slots. The CPU… obviously requires as much cooling as possible. I was hoping to use JM customize’s Model D case initially, but my GPU is just a tiny bit too large.

(1) So I’m looking for a nice looking case. It doesn’t necessarily have to my mini ITX, but I’d prefer it to be small.

(2) Size is not a deal breaker, but design definitely is. I don’t plan to use RGB, glass sides, or anything showy. I’d prefer a minimalist looking case

(3) For CPU cooling, I either need enough space for a Noctua D15, or at least a 240mm AIO (preferably 360mm)

(3) I’m happy to pay extra for better quality (e.g. all metal design).

In addition to the JM Customized mentioned above, I looked at several options:

(1) the Jonsbo i100, but its GPU clearance in terms of height is slightly insufficient

(2) Fractal Design North: regular version is already pretty card, but for a 340mm long GPU, it won’t allow 360mm radiators in the front. So limited to 240mm for already a pretty large case

(3) Fractal Design Pop: can fit 240AIO and 340mm GPU. But it’s just a bit plain looking…

Any suggestions?
