Can I put my build in a smaller case?

Rukkits · Nov 21, 2014

Hi everyone,
I am about to put together a new pc. I ordered all the components but still don't have the case. Could you help me choosing the smallest case option? I guess it won't fin in a miniATX, maybe a mid one, if so any suggestions on a nice one? I don't need something fancy, just quality materials and a tidy interior without a mess of wires.
The mobo is an Asus x99-a , Supernova 750w psu, 212 EVO cooler.
Thank you!

Although expensive, I absolutely adore the CORSAIR 840 AIR.
However, the COOLER MASTER HAF XB EVO is much smaller and will fit your build, as well as being cheaper

Hope this helps

I second the Cooler Master. Here's a review. http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5036/cooler_master_haf_xb_lan_box_open_air_chassis_review/index.html

Thank you both!. very helpful info. The Cooler Master looks great indeed, but I am looking for something slightly rectangular which can stand vertically. My table is not big and I don't have the space for a box of that dimensions. On the other hand the Corsair 840 is bigger than my previous case

but I'm not discarding it yet, although my intention is to get a smaller case.
What do you think of the cooler master N400?
Thanks again

What was your previous case (so we know)?

Also, what else is going in the case and what are you going to use it for?

Rukkits · Nov 22, 2014

The previous one is a Thermaltake, not sure bout the model, sorry. Is 19cm W- 41cm H - 48cm D. I'd prefer something just like this at least, or smaller if possible. The PC will be used for Image editing, 3D modelling/rendering and gaming as well, but not very intensive.
The full build:
i7-5820k
Asus x99-a
16 GB RAM (2x8)
212 EVO cooler
Asus GTX 970 Strix
HD 1tb 3.5 inches
SSD 256 GB
Samsung DVD writer
Supernova 750w Psu

What I'm more concerned about is the space for Psu and the CPU cooler.
Thanks again

I wanted to see of an HTPC case might work, but it will not. Thanks for the dimensions.

I know Silverstone cases fairly well. How about this one. https://pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-case-ps07bw

Your parts appear to fit. Here's a review, http://www.anandtech.com/show/7346/silverstone-precision-ps07-case-review-redux/4 and in the review is a link to an earlier review.
