Looking for a mini itx case that can fit a single slot graphics card

[Greasy Pommel]

I need a computer case that is 7.2 liters (440 cubic inches) in volume or below. I want to build a console sized HTPC with a discrete graphics card like the gtx 750 ti. So far, the best one I found was the Antec 300-150, but it comes with a built in 150 watt power supply which I think will not be enough to power a discrete graphics card. I'd like to use a case that comes with a 200 watt power supply or at least can fit one, but be within the 7.2 liters volume restriction. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Wow! I wasn't expecting to get so many replies! Everyone's input on this topic is much appreciated. I liked many of your suggestions, but I think I'm going to consider the In Win BP655 300W (which I recently found). It comes with a 300 watt power supply and it looks like it supports single slot graphics cards. I'm going to research this further.

You need a 300W PSU minimum for that GPU.

I have one in mind and will look. It allows dual-slot cards but is in the shape of a PS4 roughly.

What are the actual dimensions you require. There are fifty different ways you could get to 440 cubic inches, and not all of them may fit within the dimensional proportions you actually are wanting to see. Height, width and length would be helpful.

This unit will accomodate an ATX PSU, so you can get one in whatever capacity you wish, and also accomodates mini-ITX, micro-ATX and ATX motherboards.

You are going to have to get your own SFX power supply, but this case meets your requirements.

Now that's pretty small and is still 14L so I have no idea how a 7.2L would be possible.

The main problem starts with the need to fit a mini-ITX motherboard and height for a cooler as well as PSU (SFX at least) and Graphics Card expansion. There's a pretty small minimum size there, but it's larger than 10L. Maybe smaller in volume for more of a SQUARE shape but you said "console sized".

Perhaps you should look at something like the NVidia Shield instead?

That thing is within the volume he was wanting, but I don't see anything indicating that case supports full size cards, even single slot ones. I'd bet it only supports half height models. Maybe not, but it doesn't specify that it does.

I found that, just an idea, it may be a bit big but just a suggestion (btw, just used ebay to find the computer case's names, you could find them on amazon probably but they seem like good deals on there anyways)
I couldnt find any that would fit the gtx 750 ti though

It's theoretically possible to meet 7L max, but I just don't think any case exists as that restricts too many choices.

Heck, any gaming laptop is a good example of that but they do that with heat pipes and small blower fans etc so these are largely pre-built solutions.

You know that's almost 27L right?

He's specifying 7.2L for some reason, though he really should specify the dimensions instead as said.

The OTHER case you said was within the volume he suggested was also not even close.

Good video. You can put the case on it side BTW.

I'd recommend an SFX350W to SFX600W power supply. Mini-ITX, need a CPU cooler that fits etc.

*check compatibility (see video) for SFX "L" compatible power supplies.

(again it's 14L but one of the smallest around for building yourself. Unless you look for an expensive pre-built like a Falcon NW I don't know how to do this much smaller)
