Hey, looking to build my first PC, and space is a bit of a premium. I have a 1060, an SSD, and an HDD and I'm looking for a case that has an SD card reader included in the front IO. This is a workstation PC for my wife to do light graphical design, photo editing, and copy editing so I don't want or need anything flashy. Does anyone have any good suggestions about a case that could fit my needs and would fit an m-atx motherboard?

Are you aiming for lowest volume possible, or good looks in the mATX form factor? also what's the budget?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Masterbox E300L has a simple, understated design with a front drive bay

Thermaltake Versa H18 has a side panel window and some flair

H17is super simple with nothing flashy but is super cheap and pragmatic
