Best Mini Itx Case

[BasedChe]

I wouldn't mind waiting for the Sg13 if you think that's the right choice but I lean more towards the node 304.

EVGA Hadron

corsair 250 D, In Win 901, Thermaltake v1

Corsair Graphite Series 380T

Corsair Graphite Series 380T

That thing is huge.

Ncase M1 - Best all round

 

Cooltek W1, Prodigy - Big but can easily house a Powerfull system, supported 13''+ GPU and Largest Dual Tower cooler or thick radiator

 

FTZ01, RVZ02, RVZ01 - Best Steam machine, but CPU get hot too easily

 

Node 304 - Great case but lack of front air intakes, however can house a powerful system aswell, looks better than the SG08

 

250D - No where near small, can't even fit 13'' GPU, can't fit thick radiator, Bad air flow, worst air cooling options due to restricted height, can't even fit 180mm PSU, however cable management is great and looks good. imo by far the worst itx case out there

BitFenix Prodigy.

That is what she said... jajaja, it is big, but pretty...

Cases are a very personal item to select, just giving my thoughts on ITX cases...

well only mini-itx I've used are some older ones but the best one so far is the bitfenix prodigy I personally use it as my gaming/lan rig but by now there should be better ones around but it's still good but dust could be a problem if you only clean once a year or so.

Silverstone RVZ01 paired with either a 120mm AIO or one of the better low profile coolers.

I personally like the Node 304 and RVZ01. Interested to see what the FTZ01 is like when it comes out.

[CatzRuleZWorld]

250d, elite 130, prodigy, and sg13 are all my favorites.

[Daegun]

I have the Hadron Air and I love it. It's really small and looks great, just gotta be smart about what you put in it (no regular coolers on gpus, blower style coolers or kraken g10 only), and there isn't any cable management options.

[ace101.]

I voted for node 304 because of it's small size and HD bay capacity which is great for a Server but still can manage to house a full length Graphic Card.

 

Another suggestion would be Bitfenix Prodigy.

I have a Prodigy myself, had to buy the magnetic dust filter from DemciFlex for the side panel or it'd just eat all the dust in the world.

 

The air flow through a Prodigy is literally too good for it's own good. Filter it up and there isn't anything for m-ITX that'll touch it in terms of air flow properties.

 

Shame that they made an m-ATX version, which is the opposite, the worst mATX case on the planet for air flow.

totally agree with you matey.

 

been planning on using some panty hose or however it's called to use as dust filter and probably just tape it in or use some kind of clamp and stick it somewhere

Yeah that's what I did for the front panel

 

Didn't know about the DemciFlex custom-made options specifically for the Prodigy, but I did luckily find out about the side filter before I impatiently "fixed" that with panty hose haha. That would have been awful on the side panel. On the front panel it doesn't matter as much since there are three panels on top of eachother.

 

Oh and what I did was super glue around the sides of the black plastic spacer panel (the one with hexagonal big holes in it) and then quickly stretched the hose over it. Then when it was dry, I cut off the excess. It was probably not the optimal way to do it, but I was sick of dust build-up

omg lol can't believe I forgot that glue existed in our world >.< hmm it's something I got to try later but still need to wash the panty hose it's been like stuffed in the cabinet for years no one knows how long. (It did kinda stink like dust or wood or something like that.

Currently building a CoolerMaster Elite 110. Seems to be a pretty great case considering it's a cube.
