Hi guys, looking to scale down my pc so I can use it in the living room as I don't really have anywhere else for it, while keeping as many of the parts from my current build as I can to keep costs down, though logistically it is a bit difficult as that means trying to cram in:

A full ATX power supply

2/3x 3.5" HDD

2/3x 2.5" HDD and SSD

Corsair h55 (pretty thick 120mm rad)

980ti hybrid

I wanted a thin, console style case, like the Silverstone raven series, but you can see it's not really going to happen with the water coolers. The fractal design core 500 looks a pretty good choice and should fit everything in, just wondering if anyone had any other ideas? Looking for cheapness too as would already have to buy the itx mobo and therefore new CPU and ram as I'm currently running an fx-8350

I built a few small form factor PCs inside the Silvertone Sugo sg13. It's really attractive, and if you get a little creative with drive mounting, you'll meet those hefty requirements you've set for drive space. I used an Asus H81i-plus in most itx builds I've done that need DDR3, which seems like that's what you want.

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.

I have seen that, but I can only see space for 1 rad, and probably not enough room for the h55, probably going to go for Ryzen though purely because the mini itx boards still allow overclocking, or undervolting depending on what temps are like, plus I only have 7gb of ram with 4 sticks so would have to buy new ram anyway
