Vertical case recommendations which would fit my build.

I would like to have a SSF pc but after just checking the dimensions of pc cases like the Asus Prime AP201 and Lian Li A3 I've become more curious about vertical pc cases which I feel would be better due to the smaller footprint it leaves on my desk so i want any recommendations on what would fit all my components, would consider spending more to get a good one but nothing insane or pricey also my currency is AUD.

All I can think of is the Ncase M2, having a full sized PSU and GPU don't really combine to SFF, the title of SFF is usually given to mini ITX or builds without a dedicated GPU. The Ncase M2 should fit your GPU though, unfortunately SFF and cheap don't really mix too. I think this case is your best option. https://ncased.com/collections/all-products/products/m2-angle

Do they not show specs like dimensions, compatibility, maximum cooler height, PSU size etc? Or am I just missing this? And it being a flatpack (i.e. not riveted), it is less sturdy? For that money, they should document it better. 

 

OP: you are better off referring to ATX standard sizes you require. SFF "usually" are the proprietary systems that have tiny PSU, half-height GPU etc. In your case you need a case for mATX MB, ATX PSU (good to provide the length since that isn't standard), cooler height, and GPU length. Cases provide those numbers. Also assume future upgrade like when a future PSU may be 1cm longer. 

 

I recently came across the Jonsbo D30 or D32Pro, Asus AP201, and the LianLi A3-mATX. I had to exclude many contenders due to PSU or cooler clearance.

 

If you want even smaller cases, you are looking at ITX MB and SFF PSU (=much more pricy for less performance and thermals). Saving a tiny bit of footprint is pricy. Some of the ITX cases even have larger dimensions than the mATX cases I listed.

Well in the end beggars can't be choosers at least the Asus AP201 looks nice thanks for the information.

I would think about how you want to cool. All have bottom filters. Only the Jonsbo has bottom 140mm fan, the others only 120mm. 

 

In case noise and thermals are important. Larger fans = better. 

 

Even with larger cases where you have more large-fan options, it is best to figure out cooling air flow BEFORE committing to a case. These small cases are optimized to take filtered air in at the bottom. 

 

FWIW, I don't own any of them, this is all just based on specs or reviews I saw.
