Hi there, I'm looking to downsize my pc. Hopefully looking to just get a case and transfer all components to a new smaller case.

My current case is a Thermaltake Lanboy Lite, massive 30 liters in volume...

Components:

MSI ITX motherboard
Asus Direct Cu2 660ti GPU - This might be a limiting factor, 27cm in length
Corsair AX650 power supply - another limiting factor - 160mm in length

I have a Scythe Samurai zz Cpu cooler - 95mm height with Fan; But i would be open to going to AIO cooler if need be.

Storage wise, I have a 3.5" HDD, and a 2.5" SSD.


What is the smallest case that would fit all my components?

The Sugo sg13, seems like I would need to change the PSU
With Rajintek Metis, I would need to change the graphics card or PSU also...

Any ideas welcome! Thanks.
 
Have you looked into the Fractal Design Core 500 at around 20 Liters?
 
First thought would be the Fractal Design Node 304, but there might be an issue with the modular connectors on the PSU & the longer GPU; so you would probably need to change to a shorter PSU there as well…

Check the Silverstone Strider Gold line-up of modular ATX PSUs; they range from 500 watts to 850 watts, with the 500 watt model being 140mm deep & the remainder of the line-up coming in at 150mm deep…
 
Smallest is RVZ01 but requires a new PSU. smallest without PSU change is elite 130 or core 500.
