TRUE-120 is just an abbreviation many people use for the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Heatsink. My dilemma is that I'm trying to find myself a small form-factor or Mini-ATX tower case that could support using this as the heatsink without physically modifying the side panel to accomodate it

Just curious if anyone here knows if such a case exists?
 
Are you 100% set on mATX?

Lian-Li's A05b case is super small, but supports full ATX. Plenty of room for a Tuniq Tower, so I imagine it'll hold a TRUE.
 
That's a really nice case, definitely will check it out

My only concern is if it will be roomy enough inside to hold the TRUE, I'd hate to get it all the way shipped to my home and find out immediately that it isn't something I can use

edit: Looks as though this case does have enough room for it, I think I might buy it :) thanks again
 
Coolermaster 340.

I have it fits tuniq tower, and there is a thread in the SFF forum I am pretty sure someone has a TRUE on it.
 
Well get specific about what you're looking for.

The only problem with this case is hot air getting trapped in the back. What's nice is that with the intake in the rear, cool air is blown in directly through your heatsink. Unfortunately you need a slot exhaust cooler or a blowhole to help heat escape. Other than that it's a great case. Very small, lightweight, and, of course, beautiful.
 
I like the Lian-Li A05 A (Silver) more than the Coolermaster 340, for a couple reasons. One, I think the LL is more aesthetically pleasing (personal preference of course), and also it supports regular size ATX boards, whereas the CM340 only supports MicroATX boards (Which, if I absolutely had to, I could upgrade to a smaller board such as one of the MicroATX DFI boards)

Thanks for both of your suggestions
 
What about the silverstone TJ-08. It is the same as the 340 but with an aluminum from bezel.
 
I built a computer for a friend in the NZXT Rogue with an amd board and the true 120, and it fit fine. I dont know if an intel board will fit however (the heatsink turns 90* right?)
 
Ha, ok, I'll try to get them next time I'm over there.
FWIW, he's running an asus m2n mobo, and I think we set the TRUE 120 on a pull config.
 
The Rogue is one of the biggest boxes out there. There is nothing covering the CPU area so yes, anything can fit in there.
 
A TRUE will fit nicely inside the A05. It'll be pretty close to the panel but not touching.
