It has more clearance for CPU cooling which is nice, but the GPU gets more choked than on the Silverstone console cases. Good even for a 1080 Ti thanks to the ample vents around the GPU.ġ2L: NCase M1. Good according to Silentpcreview, but overpriced AF just like everything Lian Li makes.ġ2L: Silverstone RVZ02 / RVZ03 / ML08 (same case, different front).

You'll want to get 2x120mm extra fans of course.ġ9L: Lian Li PC-Q10. Needs an SFX PSU for GPUs longer than 280mm. Best with an SFX PSU.Ģ5L+: Raijintek Styx, the only mATX case on this list. Quite big for ITX, but easily the best airflow of any ITX case. So here are the best airflow cases by volume (IMO):Ģ6L+: Define Nano S. 90% of ITX cases are absolute trash (not that large cases are much better), so a lot of research is needed.

You won't get full performance, and it will probably be noisy. Just keep in mind that sub 20L ITX cases aren't good enough to cool an OC'd 6700K and 1080 Ti properly. The smaller the case, the worse the airflow (although there are many large cases with poor airflow).

The best SFF case depends on the compromise between size and airflow.

Like those of us who grew up with tech as it became more commonplace than in the past. Going along with this string of thought, it has me thinking if case design will mature as it's core market matures and gets older. It's likely the core market/demographic need is being met with what's currently out there, which would make many of us an outlier.

I've always actually wondered what informs pc case design, other than function, of course. I may as well have kept that beige tower my father had in our home office when I was a kid, 2.5 floppy drive and all. I'm definitely in the camp that believes function should be the primary focus for any case design, but lacking any aesthetic design consideration just makes for a boring, riveted, metal box. But most of these minimalism designs tend to look too utilitarian or industrial in my opinion, like a rack mount case, which isn't meant to be mostly visible.

I lean more towards a simple design aesthetic, and Lian Li, Caselabs, Jonsbo are great examples as sonsonate pointed out. It's still possible - I could sell the mATX board, get the ITX version and keep it all in the TT case until I get everything ready to migrate it over. My favorite design right now is the ncase M1 - I wanted to build one but I wasn't sure how well a single 1080Ti would run 1440p x3 (it actually runs it really well) and I thought I might have to go SLI. I do like that green though.Īs far as looks go, I like the Enthoo Evolv mATX and I'm probably in the minority for preferring the original above the TG version. I debated for a long time about getting it but it's too big and I'm not likely to water cool. This sounds incongruous but I also like the green TT uses on their Core V5 Green edition. Honestly, if it came in gun metal grey, I would probably love it but in flat black, I merely like it. The V21 is lacking in that area but it's not trying to be in that area.įrom a practical standpoint, it has a much larger footprint than my FT03 but it makes up for it with airflow and cooling capability. I prefer something with interesting industrial design - simple, but a bit clever and I like metal.

My PC has to sit on my desk because I have an electric sit-stand desk - I also have a 3 monitor array so space and wiring are big issues.
