Console Sized PC Case

[Luke Field]

Hey, the title pretty much says it all. I am looking for a console sized pc case around the size of an xbox one and one that can be put horizontally. I am going to be making my own "Steam Machine" when steamos is released but need a case.

Now this build is going to be in like half a year around April-June time.

Its going to be for a casual gaming pc thats connected to a wall mounted tv and will be stored on a wall mounted shelf.

These are the parts i am thinking of using but do you reckon there will be better parts by April/May time.

CPU - i3-4150
GPU - Gtx 750ti or r9 270x, may record some videos using this machine however and gtx 750ti has shadowplay but r9 270x is quite a bit faster.
Storage - 1TB
RAM - 8GB

main parts are the cpu and gpu.

Case is the main thing however as i haven't been able to find any really good cases.

Any ITX Case should do. I'd recommend the EVGA GTX 750Ti only because of personal experience. It stays extremely cool (under 34 degrees while I am gaming) which is why I recommend it for a smaller case. It also uses little power, so even if the 270x may have that performance benefit I think power and coolness is important for mini ITX.

You won't fit a 270x in such a small case. You need to get an itx PC together to get the smallest build.

Use a case such as - Lian li PC-Q19B, SilverStone ML05 or 07,

Actually, there is a 270X ITX variation. Here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127794&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

It's so cute. 😛

was looking at the silverstone milo ML07 case as it looks decent enough.
