Gaming mini itx case

[leotranq]

Hello guys. I need your help choosing a m-itx case (SMALLEST I CAN GET) I have a evga gtx 770 I think is my only big deal. I don't have a problem with opctical drives. I just want the smallest case where I can put the gtx 770.

I was thinking in:
-RVZ01 Silverstone
-Node 304 Fractal Design

If you know something better than this please let me know. My budget is not more than 90$ ( that is what it cost the rvz01). I would appreciate your help.

Thank you guys.

You would be hard pressed to find something smaller than a NCASE M1 that will still hold full size components.

As geofelt said, the Ncase is the smallest that I know of.

I personally have the RVZ01 and it's a little bit bigger than an xbox 360. The one thing you will have to consider with the RVZ01 is that a SFX power is required for it; although I have read of some people shoehorning an atx in there. That will add to the cost of your build since they're pricier in comparison.

Well the power supply is not a problem i actually have a sfx psu, What do you think about that case? how good are the temperatures there? what cpu cooler do you use? do you recommend it? 1 to 10 what do you think of it?
The force is strong in that one my friend, but i still need that 1+ to jump for it 🙂

I personally like the case, even though it is quite tight to work in. My CPU is an overclocked i5k series haswell and I'm maxing out around 70 celsius (could be better). The biggest issue is if you plan on putting an AIO water cooling in it, it makes the build that much tougher. I personally don't recommend going AIO just because the hassle didn't seem worth it. My build is here:

They also have some other builds with that case on there where I think they did a better job than I did with mine (no AIO, etc):

What is the purpose of this build?
What besides the GTX770 will be going into it?
What is your budget for the rest of the parts?

I might guess that this is for a lan party gamer.
If so, bust your case budget a bit and look at the lian li Q08. About $100

It comes in black, silver and a red color which is stunning(hard to find though)
One big advantage is that it is made of aluminum.
Lian li quality is outstanding.

I actually have everything ready, I just need a case, right now I'm using a cm n400. I will have a i7 4790k, a pair of corsair vengeance 1866mhz, a asrock z97e and a SFX 600w gold. To cool the CPU depends on the case that I choose but for the moment I have a nhl9i. The purpose its purely gaming and some oc, but yes I want a small lan party rig.

And that case looks really good and promising, I read the review and i think it is one good option here. Guys what do you think about elite 130?
It looks pretty tiny and capable?
