Vertical GPU case recommendations

Pretty much any case smaller then atx won't have vertical gpu mount because of its size and the room that takes up.

Hey guys,

 

I'm looking for a Mini atx case that would have a vertical mount and I can't find any... Is there any cases like that or I should just diy one?

that answer would be none for air cooling needs.

mATX vertical mount is limited and by most are mounted too close to the side panel, thus suffocating the air flow to the GPU.

if going the custom water cooling route, then any would be sufficient.

If the vertical GPU in question sits far back from the side panel it'll be fine.

 

That's just not going to happen in a lot of cases seems like.

 

Thermaltake P series is probably the best option there


Or just forget about it and get a cheap/effective Fractal Focus G?

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Main idea behind this is that I wan't to make my rig look as good as possible. I believe that with a window and verticaly mounted GPU it would look just amazing. Also I don't want to build in a giant case thats why I wanted to know if there is any mATX cases. What I imagined was something like Fractal design meshify C mini but with a verticaly mounted GPU. Also I'm not very handy with diy so I'd like to avoid making my own vertical mount.

I gues youre talking about mini ITX. If so then what about the Node 202 ?

Not the only one as far as i know, but i built a rig with it and it is quite good

I'd like mini ITX but it's a bit too small. Thats why I tought to build on a bit bigger base like micro ATX. I like Fractal design meshify C mini case but problem with it is that it doesn't have vertical gpu mount...

 

I think i'll just ditch the vertical mount idea even tho it would look epic... :C

You rig isn't even custom watercooled? Wait until your budget is like $10,000 before worrying about aesthetics.

Well..  it's not watercooled yet... And I don't believe that you need to spend a lot of money for good looking rig. Sure it might cost couple thousand in the end but it doesn't need to cost THAT much...

Point being is that there's usually something else that can be upgraded before worrying about aesthetics.

Or I can sacrifice performance for aesthetics... Everyone has different things as priorities

I would never sacrifice performance for aesthetics. For me, aesthetics are good to prioritize as long as they do not significantly impact performance (RGB ram for example)
