Half height mini-itx cases?

[Killingbeans]

I have just ordered myself an Intel DN2800MT mini-itx motherboard, an OCZ Nocti mSATA SSD and some Kingston Value RAM. All I need now to have a tiny passively cooled PC is a case. The DN2800MT comes with both a normal IO back-plate and a half-height version.

I'd like to use a case that supports the half-height back-plate in order to make the PC as tiny as possible. Something like the M350 but only half as tall/thick. Does such a case exist?

Yes.

There was a list on Intel's site of slim cases for that motherboard but I can't remember the link.

Nice.. but pricy.

I'd might just have to build something myself

The Antec ISK 300 & 310 cases can support a half height card.

Yes, but it's not the expansion card I'm talking about. It's the motherboard itself:

Most are OEM so good luck finding them

True. That GA6201 would have been perfect

Maybe these guys can help you?

Or Logic Supply. Can't hurt to ask them.

Might not be what your looking for but I just got this case for my ITX system and its fairly small, durable. Cant fit a 3.5 inch easily but a SSD or 2.5in HDD is perfect.

I just built a habey 800s for a friend and its a slick small well built case.

Only issue I had with the Habeys (600 and 800) was the ventilation. It can get pretty stagnant in there.

I'm waiting for the Nano XS AD11 to show up so I can mod that case with a build in heatsink as the entire upper half

there is this by lian li, it looking nice is something you'd like as well http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/produc...602&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=64&g=spec

but you'd need to use the Intel HTS® 1155LP heatsink, which is pretty quiet (I have one). http://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/49/20/492064_492064.pdf I have a Intel DH61AG system at home just waiting for this case to be released so my order gets processed.

 

[Killingbeans]

Yes, it's nice. But it's way too big. The G-Alantic GA6201 is exactly what I was looking for.

But I have canceled my order on the motherboard. I'm gonna spend the money on another nerdy hobby of mine instead.
