Smallest PC case possible?

Hello, I want to get the smallest possible case for my pc, but pcpartpicker doesnt show any compatible cases. I currently reside in Spain.

 

So I was wondering, how viable would it be for me to 3d print my own case? Would it be worthwhile? Any and all suggestions and recommendations are welcome.

 

EDIT: here are the components I have: https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/2CLXwY

Hello, I originally wanted a mini ITX case for my pc, but at the time (using pc part picker) it showed me there were no compatible mini ITX cases for the components I bought.

i've built for my dad a mini itx computer and i used this "SilverStone SST-RVZ03B" it looks AMAZING and it's actually well built and nicely packed, has a lot of room for a nice GPU

 

it looks REALLY good and it's pretty compact, found it on newegg:

on amazon italy it costs about 140€ which it's a fair price since it's a compact case

 

 

 

you can find a case to 3d print probably on thingiverse or make the whole model by yourself, but it will FOR SURE cost more then 200$ in material + time + faulty prints (which even with the best bamboo lab out there for sure there is failed prints) + electricity.

it would be a nice concept and 100% personalizable, not cost efficient for sure

 

the issue with a custom case is that you don't account for aiflow unless you have knowledge about how airflow works and your parts might end up suffocating in heat
