I'm going though the phase of looking at small form factor itx sized but came to conclusion that one pcie is to limiting dose anyone know any small mATX case

Lian-Li A3 comes to mind. how small exactly are you talking?

I was thinking around the 20 litre area

I was thinking around the 20 litre area so 26l is a tiny bit to large ps I Forget to quote the first post and that’s why I have two responses

Jonsbo Z20 is the only mATX case at 20 liters I know of that also allows standard ATX PSU and tower cooler. Check GPU clearance you need.

 

Anything smaller will require compromises on cooler, PSU, and GPU size and cooling.

I just picked up a Sama IM01 that I was actually pretty pleased with for the $70 I paid.

Only you know if the compromises required to go below 20 liters matter. 

 

A SFX PSU cost more, a non-tower cooler cost more at less performance, and smaller GPU may not have the desired performance. If you go even smaller to ITX, it cost even more with fewer features. Again, only you know if less size outweighs those disadvantages.

 

Jonsbo Z20 still allows cheaper standard hardware.
