Don't know the exact internal volume, but it should be around 7liter:

Plenty of airflow for the 3060 and a cheap pricetag. Just keep in mind it uses an STX PSU, not an ATX or ITX one.

I believe that one does not support full height GPUs (and single slot only).

Yes shoe box style is preferred. The Masterbox NR200 and Parvus are 18l-20l and a bit too large. I believe that larger case manufacturers are shying away from riser cables so that they require a full wide case.

It's $120, but this one is 7.8l https://caseend.com/case/zs-a4-v2/

Very nice case. I t seems that this one has to be bought over Taobao using an agent but maybe it will be retail available in the west in the future.

I have a DAN A4 SFX case from kickstarter. the layout is really nice, and you can generally plug in any Mini-ITX board and most GPUs (careful of GPU depth, however). I fit a 1080Ti no problem into this case.

I thought it did, but I might be wrong. I used a older model of it for a HTPC a couple years ago, but that one didn't have a GPU installed.

This one however can do it for sure, but also costs twice as much:

I believe the Geeek A50 is out. No dust filters and perforated plexiglass sides are not well thought out.

This is similar to the older Node 202 pizza box layout. I will keep that case in mind too.

How much did you pay for it?

That's a good question. If I remember correctly, it wasn't cheap. 262 Euros (it was a kickstarter). It was one of the first of it's kind, so I'm not sure if there's cheaper alternatives now.

In the meantime I have found a new old stock Fractal Node 202 for 45$. Got a new B550 mini ITX board and a power supply as well.

Now where are those next gen CPUs and GPUs on the market?



JEMC on 20 November 2020

Congratulations on your purchases. Those CPUs and GPUs have already been released, but the stock is so low that they disappear in the blink of an eye, specially the GPUs.
