Weird matx case....

[Storm-cooled72]

Hey Tom's!

I am looking for a case sorta like the RVZ01, but MATX. I have seen the lian li PC-06SX, but it is a bit pricey for me. Though, that is practically what I want. If there is nothing like that, I guess I will just build my own.

Not matx but mitx:

You may find it easier to work with InWin's BL series of cases:

but you're going to have to be creative and figure out where to put in 2.5" drives+the chassis cannot support full size graphics cards. In hindsight, owning custom built cases dubbed Compact Splash and also following other kickstarter campaigned case builds, you're going to have a much better option going outside of the assembly line manufacturing process as the big names are doing and build one of your own though do keep in mind the resources needed to invest in such a project will be hefty and may require you to gain a following prior to committing to it.

Secondary word of caution, Silverstone has a couple of patents such as the vertically oriented GPU design for better thermal dissipation found on it's older Raven series of chassis's. So tread carefully and hope you don't infringe on corporate policy's.
Good luck on your case build but keep an eye out for a case by the Big Guns.

* Any reason the Corsair 88R isn't a choice?

Hey,

I found (I hope) just what you're looking for:

All of these are great ideas, but not really what I am looking for. It sounds like it is going to be a bit harder than I though to get an MATX option. MITX isn't really an option for me, as I need the high ram capacities and full x-series chip-set support. I am even considering the EVGA hadron at this point, as you can fit an matx mobo in there with a little bit of modding.

As for storage, I literally could care less. All of my storage is going to be m.2, so no need for HDD or SSD support. I was a little interested in the Cerberus case (project MATX, formerly Nova) that I have been following for quite some time. The real need here for me is SFF with a serious punch. I have triple monitors, and not much space left on my desk, and I also like to bring my PC around to places (road trips, flights, etc.). And NO, a laptop will NEVER do. I am using a 16-core xeon in this monster, so there is that.

As for the case you suggested, crossfire, it only has half-height PCI slots. High-power DGPUs are right out of the question with those.

On a separate note, I can easily build my own case. I have been modding for a few years now, and now I am finally at the point of building my own. I am extremely active on overclock.net's scratch build thread and things alike.

You're saying a case like the MITX tower you found that's a Micro ATX tower. I found one for you. You denied it. Now, tell me exactly what you're looking for. No examples, exactly what you're looking for, and I mean color, LED, size, you name it, it's your case, I ain't gonna be the one staring at it every time you use your PC
