Cases Looking for M-ITX case (height restriction).

Thanks for the really helpful and useful comment.

 

Although to be fair a new desk might actually cost you less than a new case and / or printer. I picked up my desk for £40 off ebay...

 

This is a new desk so that will not be getting changed any time soon. It fits perfectly in the space I have for it. It is German built so excellent quality and lastly I have been looking to change the FT03 for a while now as I go off cases and like a change.

 

Fair enough - if it has to go in that space then I'd go for the Silverstone GD05 I linked to earlier unless someone comes up with a better suggestion. Obviously cases can't be much smaller than 150mm as the PCIe slots are about 110mm tall just by themselves (unless they do some clever jiggery-pokery like the RVZ01 but that needs a SFX PSU).

 

I think that case will do very nicely.

 

Just bought one of these. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silverstone-gd05b-usb-30-grandia-htpc-micro-atx-black-w-o-psu

Thanks all for your help.

 

You won't be disappointed. It is quite, quite lovely.

 

For those of you who recommended the - Silverstone GD05B- I salute you. What a cracking case though as usual I feel that there is one or two design flaws. But overall love it and so quiet compared to the FT03.

Thanks again.

 

Glad you like it - it does have its downsides but overall I love mine too. I would strongly suggest switching out the stock fans however as I found them REALLY noisy (but I do have mine in the living room under the TV so it's more noticeable perhaps)

 

Cannot hear it at all George in fact I did not think the fans were on as I am only using an ITX board with only one system fan point. But I used a splitter and all is fine. So for now I will leave in place I think.
