I'm looking to build a new rig and I'm going to go wee this time. I was quite amazed at the juice that the likes of the
Bolt and the
Tiki can pump out, but I'm having problems finding cases of comparable size for home building. The ones I have seen in that size range so far are meant for VESA mounting on the back of a monitor with just an APU.
The rest of the market thinks that cases around the size of the
BitPhenix Prodigy are to be considered small so I did a little comparison of the ones I've come across in a 3d app to see just how small they are:
Linkywhich is not very. The T3600 is a reference I had in mind from the cases we send to customers and I don't consider them small at all. (The last one is a vesa mount apu case, not suitable)
From that list and the actual look of the cases, I think I would go for the FT03-Mini or the Node 304, but they're still definitely beefy. Has anyone come across any smaller that can be fitted with a decent gpu and and deliver acceptable cooling?
