I'm looking for an ITX case that has:

- no optical drive bay
- front / top USB and audio ports
- can fit up to a GTX680

Would be great if it could fit standard ATX PSUs as well. I prefer silver or white cases, but I know black is the easiest to find. Closest thing I've found is the Lian Li PC-Q25, but it doesn't have any front ports.
 
I read that the Node is pretty large for an ITX case.

The Node is smaller than the PC-Q25.

You won't find a better case that fits most of what you are asking for as the ones without optical bays are few and far between.
 
Yeah those are the two I've found. ODD bays are such a waste of space on these size cases.
 
the Node is not that big at all.

much smaller than the prodigy, and similar or smaller than the average cubes from Lian Li
 
If I may ask, why is it that you don't want an optical drive slot? If its because you want the smallest case possible that can fit a GTX 680, then I would recommend the SG05/06. They do have an optical drive, but I don't know of any case smaller that also has two expansion slots and the right length.
 
I'm considering the white SG05, but the person this system is for does not like the dark, transparent / smoke looking power and reset buttons. If the SG05's front buttons were replaceable it would be fine.
 
I know. Other than the Q25 (which does not have any front / side / top ports), I do not see any optical drive-less LianLi ITX cases that can also fit a GTX680
 
Hm you're probably right there. Only other without ODD but with ports in that case would be the Q16. However, that would be far too small.
