Hi everybody, so I want to build a new itx system for my cad design and some stuff I had some stuff i needed to buy. Now I only need a PC case to accommodate the hardware that I have: Motherboard : Z390 phantom gaming-itx/ac (bought new few hours ago) CPU : Intel i9 9900k(bought new few hours ago) GPU : Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Expedition OC 6GB GDDR5 (already had it) RAM : G.SKILL Aegis 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz CL16 Black(already had them) HDD : SSD M.2 2280 Kingston 240GB(already had it) this is for windows files HDD2 : 2tb for storage(need to buy one) CPU COOLER : Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L( already have it) PSU : CORSAIR SF600 80 Plus Gold(bought new) PC case needed
Phanteks Evolv ITX is a great case that is quite large for the form factor, but makes for a very easy and clean build with lots of cooling potential for high-end parts (check the link in my sig).
I saw this case and it is affordable, but im not sure that i have space to install 240 radiator...can tell me for sure that this case can accommodate the radiator?
I have the Evolve ITX with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L in the top. I can take a picture and post when I get home if you like?
I just bought the Fractal Design Nano S. Decent price on Scan at £57 Not managed to build everything into yet as the MB does not arrive until next week (and I am away all next week anyway). That said, there is a lot of space in it for all sorts of hardware. I would just suggest an SFX power supply to give that little bit extra room around the GPU. Having measured, it will take a gigabyte windforce 2080ti, but not the Palit Dual of the same if you have a radiator and fans in the front rather than the top
I got the evga 650w sfx power supply. Fits a treat and would mean the fractal could take a 2.5 slot wide gfx card without breathing issues on the first fan
A couple of photos (Google is your friend) show there will be room, as long as the ATX to SFX adapter allows mounting the PSU at the bottom in the Nano S (e.g. the Silverstone adapter). The top picture is with a Gigabyte Aorus 1080Ti which is a 3 slot card.
With the evga one, using the bracket that came with it (which must be similar if not the same as a Silverstone one) you effectively get another 2 slots worth of space, so a 3 slot card should fit in the case with an sfx power without issue. That said, I bought the gigabyte windforce 2080ti, which is a 2 slot card but fits length-wise even with a 240 rad and fans in the front of the case
@Fingers66 I had been looking for 2080tis in that case on Google. Hadn't figgered to look for 3 slot 1080tis as a reference. I am slow.
Fyi this is the clearance of a 2 slot windforce 2080ti with a 240mm corsair 100x, evga sfx all in a fractal nano s
Ok..decided to go with phantek evolv itx route...as it is the most affordable and kinda nice little case...I will update as soon as I receive the case and begin to install all the components...
Here it is...almost done...made a 3d printed custom plate for wiring management, because I like to have the wires straight...just needed to cut a small rectangle above the big oval hole and then i fixed that red plate with m3 screws.... It came along very nice...with plenty of room for a custom watercooler...though I'm thinking to modify further more the case by complete removing the plate where the radiator mounts and cut 2 holes on the top of the case and mount the radiator permanently on it...and also upgrade the 200mm front fan with a noctua one...or 2 140mm fan for blowing fresh air into the case as well I'm planning to put an an acrylic window to the side panel...
