Case for mini ATX costume loop

[thelordofwarr]

Hi guys,

 

I'm planning a new build for a friend in the MiniItx formfactor. I'm thinking about an 8700k and a TitanXp. All of that in a custom loop.

Do you have any recommendations for a case that supports all of this? Overall 520mm of radiator space would be the sweet spot. 480 (2 times 240mm9 would also be ok for us. 

Thank you for the replies

Also don't mind that we spelled custom wrong, we are both one half of a full idiot

You want to push 2 240mm rads in an mITX case? Maybe the Nano S

Source Sauce

This build used a Zotac 1080ti mini though, so you wouldnt be able to use the RAD shown (titan cards are longer)

 

Here's a very good example actually

We are currently looking at the meshify c mini, but it isn't available in Europe, so we might just wait. We would also move to a micro ATX board for that. Thx for the recommendation but I think that with the rad an ethereal Titan it could be close...

The nano s and the Define C/Meshify C series have the same Case length (subsequently same GPU length) so you'd run into that issue regardless of which Fractal design case you chose  The second photo is a reference board 1080 which is the same length as the Titan IIRC.

 

The Mini C hasnt fully released yet. They announced it and it should be available for purchase soon.

Hmm, I'll wait if he wants to wait and if we want to stick with microatx/the meshify c mini...or if he really wants it as I think that he doesn't need it but it isn't my money tbh, might try to find some measurements to see if the Titan would fit

Length of GPU is 270mm, the Nano S and Meshify C's have GPU clearances of 315mm with a front mounted fan at the front, leaving you room for a front mounted 25mm rad with fans, or a thick RAD with no fans (alternatively you could mount fans to the outside but you'd lose the filtetr suport and you'd probably have to mod the front panel to get good airflow)
