Question about a case

[danielbg306]

i want to change my old case that i have (fractal 3000) and its big,im looking for this one https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RC-110-KKN2-Midnight-Mini-ITX/dp/B00ID2FBU6 (becuse i want only mini cases).
thats my rig
i have gtx 1060 6gb mini.
i5 4570 3.2ghz.
my motherboard is Gigabyte B85M-D2V.
my supply power is 600w by hyper.
and 8gb ddr3 of kingston.
will my rig fit to this case?

Obviously you can not put mATX board into mini-itx case. It doesn't fit.

sorry if i dont understand at this,so i need a atx board? or i have an atx board?
what do i need for it to fit?

 

[danielbg306]

or there is another mini cases that can fit to my rig that look like the one above?

 

[SkyNetRising]

You have mATX board.
To use that case, you will need m-itx board instead.

Or just choose a different case,

Here some possible choices.

Silverstone SST-SG10B - seems to be closest to your desired case model appearance.
Bitfenix Phenom MATX Cube - maybe also.

[NightHawkRMX]

It will fit

 

[danielbg306]

It will fit

maybe u know a htpc that could be good for it?

If you want anything smaller you will have to swap to an ITX motherboard, which may not be easy to find on ebay, although i haven't looked lately.

so the master cooler box q300l will fit for sure? becuse i have 600w supply power

 

[NightHawkRMX]

As long as its an ATX PSU, yes the Q300i will work

This is the psu is it ok?

 

[SkyNetRising]

This is the psu is it ok?

It's fine.

 

[danielbg306]

It's fine.

Last question maybe dumb question,but is the q300l cooler master is smaller a lot from fractal 3000?

Your motherboard is M-ATX size. You can tell because it has 4 expansion slots.
A ATX case has 7 and a ITX has one.

Is there a particular dimension that you need?
You have a discrete graphics card so I assume your interest is in gaming. That usually requires food airflow capabilities to cool the cpu and graphics card.

Your fractal 3000 is 18.90" x 7.87" x 16.93"
It also has 160mm available for a nice sized cpu air cooler.
What is the make/model of your cooler.?

The q300 is 14.88" x 9.06" x 15.24" Really not that different in size and there is a bit less room for a cpu cooler at 158"

If you need to fit in a home theater, there are some more horizontally oriented cases.
But, they usually have minimal cooling capabilities.

I know you wanted a smaller size, but what other considerations do you have?

My only requirement is that the case will be smaller and if can not higher to,I spent a lot of hours to find one but still can’t find

 

[danielbg306]

Because I want to fit it to my computer desk

 

[SkyNetRising]

Can you show photo of the desk.
Sometimes putting a pc in constrained environment can obstruct airflow. This causes increased temperatures and overheating.

 

[geofelt]

What dimensions do you need?
Do you mean to fit under the desk, on the desk, or what?

I have used the silverstone PS-07 before.
It is 14.73" x 8.27" x 15.75"
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811163186
Good ventilation, washable front filter and quiet. Fits full ATX psu.

That shelf doesn't look sturdy enough to put a heavy pc on it.
I wouldn't.

im looking for a solution I though q300l will fit in the middle

 

[geofelt]

What is the height available between shelves?
What is the depth of a shelf?
I might agree that the shelf looks flimsy.

Perhaps you can use a remote power switch and put the pc on the floor somewhere:
