[yubi007]

Morning Gentleman

 

i wanna build small form factor PC,the problem is on my country really have a little variation of Mini-ITX board

and i don't want order online cause it will take much time

 

so i want buil M-ATX With Small Case

so it can be :

Small absolutely

and portable

 

so i did some research on small case like

Cool Master Elite 110

Coll Master Elite 130

Thermaltake Core V1 and so on

 

which they only  have Mini-ITX form Motherboard

 

so the question is :

1.do Mini-ITX case support M-ATX board

2.can all of the gentleman here give me other reffence other Small CASE

 

sorry for my bad english

Look in the description of your cases. It will say what boards it supports. Also, I would order online, even if it takes a while. It's worth the better quality products.

The thermaltake Core V21 supports mATX motherboards, although I wouldn't call it small.

 

There should be some kind of cheap, super small mATX case out there that you can buy.

I'm in the same situation as you & unfortunately, there aren't many actual small form factor Micro ATX Cases around. Personally I've had to decide on the Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3. Unless, someone else makes a full windowed alternative without the extra space this one has to accommodate water cooling before I actually build. If you don't care about a window though then that opens up more possibilities, unfortunately most of those are very cheap quality like the Corsair Carbide Spec M2.

Look for the Corsair Air 240. The construction is nothing to brag about but it got really good features like dual chamber separation and not too bad AIO accommodation. (Need to watch out for air coolers though.)

I like the Caselabs Bullet BH4, but I dont think it is the smallest mATX case.

At 279mm x 241mm x 330mm, so dont I think you can get much smaller: http://www.caselabs-store.com/bullet-bh4-matx-case/

I mean, there is not exactly a lot of waisted space in the BH4. Could maybe have fitted a bit more in the bottom chamber, but that depends on the amount of cables you got.

GPUs and the motherboard dont leave a lot of room around them in this case, with the panels almost hitting them.

(case below is modded with window instead of the fan spots).

I think their are smaller cases (volume wise) I am at work so I just mentioned something I like of the top of my head. So I was not 100% sure.

Maybe, but they often come with none standard solutions, like PCI risers for the GPUs. Plus not much room for coolers.

A good case lasts you through several builds, so its worth investing in one.
