    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    Good idea, but I definitely don't see my need for optical. Who actually uses those these days?

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    Thanks ! I managed to get it. It was still a bit jagged so I filed it down with a nail filer. Few scratches as I didn't really take care with the pliers, but at least nobody will see it ^^

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    So I've got the case today and unscrewed that optical drive riser, but the rivet things still stick out. How did you manage to remove that? They seem pretty sturdy for pliers, perhaps I should saw them off? Also I guess I should leave the front cover of the optical drive on? Here's mine now:

    Hehe ok then. Yeh the TU100B was my first one. I found that there was just too much space wasted though.

    Ok, I just bought the 'EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders - 8GB'. Not sure if it's going to fit though.

    Do you think you got better cooling with a blower because fans generate little hot spots inside the case rather than drawing the air in?

    Do you know why a blower should be used here? Got any links describing this? I've seen others suggest that the ACX is better. Also which brand should I get?

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    Yeh, I got the ML08, a Silverstone SFX-L 500W and an Intel 600P M.2 SSD now. The current graphics card I'm looking at is the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 Do you think this is going to fit in the width restrictions? It simply says 'Dual Slot'. I also notice it's a bit under 13" in...

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    One thing I noticed is that they say there is a 4.78" width restriction on the graphics card, but if you don't put the riser in then you can get wider than that. Would there be any problems with using no riser? Wobbly or something?

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    Wow, thanks for that! I wonder why they don't advertise that. Is it easy to install that way? Is it stable? Do you recommend getting it with or without the window in terms of aesthetics and noise and temperature? How is your noise and temperature now?

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    Hmmm, thanks for the tips. I liked the NCASE M1, but I think the bags are out of stock right now? I really liked the idea of the Silverstone ML08's slim, yet tall design. It's something that I just find really aesthetic. Something like the Silverstone RVZ01 would currently work I guess, but then...

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    Hi ! I currently have a TU100B mini-ITX system and it's time for an upgrade so I thought I would seek some input. Currently my setup is a gaming and work/productivity rig. The TU100B doesn't accept a full length graphics card, but it does an okay job with a GTX 760 that I have currently. I'm...
