STEAM BOX CASE

[neision]

Need help with a case to fit this type of system as tightly as possible, sorry I didn't use a ruler  DIMENSIONS : 8" (W) x 11" (L) x 4" (H)

slightly off topic but do you think people are going to end up getting the steam box then taking apart and using the parts?

No cases out are SteamBox sized. The closest are the prebuilt digital storm bolt, ibuypower revolt, or the bare bone as rock m8. You will not find a case with a riser mounted GPU slot that is made for gaming. If you don't need a full sized card, Silverstone has some super small cases as does lian-li

DIY all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

from what I recall there is a msi m8 that is pretty small....I also think the alienware x51(I think at least) is pretty small

but small also means worse air flow and a super small case might cost more than an expandable one

yes but i'm not going to spend $1300 for a steambox just to get it's case, i want to make a steambox build. All the mini-itx mobo are too small due to the power supply.

But guys you have to admit, the case used in Valve's steam box is ridiculously SOLID!

how about the Silverstone ML03B its slim and got micro atx mobo format, you can also stick a standered atx PSU in it

Those cases are actually pretty big but they are slim. I would go with an SG06 or a CM130 Elite if you want really small. Maybe even a EVGA Hadron or Collusus mini if you want a tiny tower (FT03 fortress anyone)

Hadron is wayy too expensive sorreh

What about the other 4 I suggested?

I actually really like them the silverstone and CM are both tall. 4" high would be so good, that's the reason why i want to use a pci-e riser card,

Asrock M8, really pricey, not the best fans or airflow, but it works.

I am probably gonna wait for more steam box cases to come out
