Thinking of going to a smaller case.

melias24

Hey guys, so i saw the thread about the Sentry console sized gaming case. Anyway, got me thinking, has anyone gone from a big ATX case? Do/do you not regret it? Would you recommend it? I'd like to only have to sell my mother board and case, then keep the rest of my components, but i am unsure as to whether i can get a very small case that will hold a reference GTX 770 and Corsair RM850.

I went from ATX to the NCASE M1 (You don't really get smaller) and it was just too much of a pain in the ass to build in, and compability with parts are a factor to consider too. I switched back to ATX again. :) I don't really move my PC around anymore so i'd rather play with a larger size. thats what she said

I built my folding rig in an mATX case, and it was just as easy as is a normal mid-tower. It just depends what case you get, but I have no regrets. The space it saves is a big plus.

Do you still use your Ncase M1?

I -may- be interesting in buying it if not. :)

 

I'm currently in the planning stage of my Mini ITX build.

 

Going from a Fractal Design Arc XL to a Mini ITX case. :D

 

Up until now it's been the Node 202 that I was going to get.

 

But I really like the Ncase M1, but they're not easy to buy, and they're expensive.
