Mini ITX case that can fit in a backpack?

RylieDetchon · Dec 5, 2016

I'm stuck on a small mini itx case that can fit inside a backpack. There are a few like the Silverstone SG05 that are nice, but they are out of stock everywhere in Canada. The Silverstone RVZ02 is nice, but very expensive, and the window is kinda ugly. I would also like it to have a window if possible, as I would like to add some RGB fans and LED strips. I was looking at the Phanteks Evolv ITX because it's small, and has room for fans plus a big window, but it's a little expensive in Canada and won't fit in a backpack.

If you can find any cheap/windowed/thin cases all help would be greatly appreciated!!

A window isn't going to happen with an ITX case that small.
I was going to recommend the Node 202 or RVZ01, two of the only cases that will fit.
What's your budget?
I can also make a full build if you want.

I hope you get this reply, as on mobile they have no direct reply button.

My budget is around $700-750 CAD.

Here is my current part list: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/7NbYm8 all it's missing is a case.

Looks like a good list, maybe go for a WD Blue, their warranty and quality is slightly better.
EVGA also have a fantastic support team and service.
Also lets you step up to an SC 1060 within 90 days if you pay the difference.
How about this?

Looks great to me, although I doubt I will need 2TB of storage. The case looks perfect, being small enough to fit in a backpack, and has spots for mounting fans. Thank you very much for the help!

Oh, yeah, that's my bad, forgot to remove the seagate!

Edited.
I also put in a 1060 3GB which should perform significantly better.

Thank you for your help!

No problem at all.

Actually are you able to put this into backpack finally? I am also considering this build and looking now at:
Cougar QBX Kaze

That is outdated build. Start a new thread with your requirements and provide dedicated budget. We will give you build with latest hardware.
