SFF ATX case?

[Okjoek]

Anything small form factor out there that can fit an ATX board and a full-height dual fan GPU?

 

Coolest thing I could find was this prototype case:

It looks great because the 15L volume is probably entering the realm of what I could carry in my backpack.

Does anything like that exist?

If you're looking for portability it would probably be your best bet to go ITX and stick it in a node 202 or something..

 

Though, ATX wise, there is that gross looking riotoro case, maybe the thermaltake core g3? But Im not exactly sure how big that one is.

what would you define as full height GPU like in cm length wise or do you mean just a dual slot thickness

thermaltake core g3 - not a prototype and fairly cheap and very compact for fitting a full size atx board i even saw one with watercooling

jonsbo u4 also very compact

and then theres the mentioned Riotoro CR1080n which looks a step smaller again

No, because that's an Oxymoron.

The best thing you can do is µATX, there are some, but still not really SFF...

 

So SFF equals ITX these days.

K thanks for some of the ideas.

The way I see it ITX is an SFF motherboard that makes compromises, but SFF is a design philosophy you can apply to just about anything, including the ATX motherboard form factor.

 

This guy's prototype is the best example I've seen yet. It's just that I wanted to see if I could get a new more portable+attractive case without changing most of the internal hardware except maybe PSU. A whole board and platform upgrade is ridiculously expensive for me right now.
