Question Need help choosing smallest most beautiful case

[rhsnipes]

Hi,

I’m trying to build a new pc. My budget for this case is under $300

I want to go for as small of a form factor as possible while also making it into the sexiest looking machine possible.

What are your ideas for this?

Here is a thread for my components.

"I want to go for as small of a form factor as possible while also making it into the sexiest looking machine possible. "

My ideas:

Forget "sexy" etc. How do you even define that?

Go for stability and performance. And real room to work.

Small form factors should be used only if there are some specific requirements for doing so.

Never let form get in the way of function.

If you're switching componentry in your above listing to a smaller board, then you can take a look at m-itx cases, namely the Terra by Fractal Design, but please understand that m-atx cases/builds have the best of both worlds, meaning you don't compromise on parts/performance. Get your feet wet and perhaps you can swap parts to make your build smaller as you learn since this will be by assumptions the build linked above will be one after 15 years. I wouldn't shrink the build any further...IMHO, you're delaying the inevitable of building your system.

FYI, aesthetics is a subjective topic, you will need to explain what you perceive as such.
