Is there a case like the Cooler Master Elite 110 but supports micro ATX? (in other words a SFF cube case)

Thermaltake V21

Not sure I like the cooling on that to be honest, its going to do nothing for the motherboard if a GPU is installed, assuming its blowing into the case.  If its sucking out its going to fight with the GPU.

The PSU is also going to be fighting with the CPU cooler, a very odd choice for them not to at least have a vent in the side panel to let the PSU pull from there.  Very bad design IMO.

 

It really sucks as I'd like a similar case myself but they seem so rare and poorly designed.

Thank you for understanding my choice in cases <3 after i posted that i read into the specs and saw how bad they were lol

 

But yeah cube case under 23 liters if possible, bonus points if it supports 120MM AIO

Its strange, as dual-slot ITX cases have improved dramatically over the years, but slightly bigger cases to support 3+ slots are lagging behind.

Indeed that's the issue, mATX seems to be largely ignored these days.  Its either full ATX or ITX.

I'd like to upgrade to mATX myself as I have just enough space for one more slots height on the case where my PC is.  But as we can see, the cases seem pretty poor.

Cases under 25l, µATX and 120mm rear fan

Once again, Jonsbo C3 fits but as with the C2, availability across the pond is an issue.

SilverStone Sugo SG09 should be more available in the US? 22,97l exactly the requirement.

SilverStone Sugo SG09 is so pricey tho, and idk if they ship to America
