Custom mini-itx cases

[Ikmal Izzat Johari]

Hi I'm trying to create the smallest mini itx case possible, probably scrapping leftovers atx cases from 5-10 years back. There is no actual mini-itx cases out there and I don't want a console. There is but still kinda too big.

I'm trying to use the
single fan small sized gpu. Probably GTX 750ti, and those itx gpus
SFX power supply,
mini-itx board.

cable management will be a problem for sure. Is the degradation of the pcie x16 if using extender so bad? I'm in part of Asia where it will never snow and so 4 seasons is not a problem for me

The Ncase M1 is probably the very smallest you can go with conventional high performance parts.

Look at how the internal parts are arranged.

If you are willing to use integrated graphics, that will make for an even smaller box.

If you can wait until mid year, broadwell should come with even better integrated graphics.

A few years back I took an old Nintendo and made a HTPC out of it. Used the start and reset button for the computer and made adapters from the Nintendo controllers to usb.
