Smallest 'slim tower' Case for ITX build with good Watercooling support

royalba94

I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a case that is ITX size but still allows dual 240mm or larger Rads, full-length GPUs and one or two 3.5in drives. I prefer the slim Tower form factor (like the S4 Mini or RVZ02) but haven't seen any cases that seem to check these boxes. I know of the Nano S and Manta but hoping to find something less boxy and with a smaller footprint.

 

Also, would any of you be interested in a case like this? If I can't find one I might just design and make one myself and if a few other people were interested it'd bring the cost per unit down.

 

I look forward to hearing from you :)

You can only find cases so small that will fit 480mm of rad. As far as I know the only small cases you will find that support dual 240s are the boxy cases you were talking about like the Fractal Node 804

Thanks! I forgot about that case, it's pretty cool  but definitely a box lol.

 

on another note, do you know what would be basically the minimum rad recommendation for an overclocked 6700k and 1080 ti? I'm wondering if I actually need all that rad space or not and I'm not sure. thx!

I would say the minimum is 480mm. The 1080ti is a hot card

Thx for the input, I was looking around a bit more and had pretty much got to that conclusion as well.

 

Guess I should probably look into building my own case then. Should be fun lol :)

Depending on your use case you may want to look into doing a pc inside your desk. Its about as small of a footprint as you can get
