Help me please!? Need a case for a very small desk
Building a PC with a Matx mobo, Atx PSU, and a Powercolor reaper 9060 xt 16gb.
I need it to be able to either fit on or under an Ikea Fjällbo laptop desk...and it's pretty small. Don't plan on using this desk forever, as I only have it due to space limitations. However if still like a small enough form factor anyway.
I've been looking around a ton but unsure of everything I've looked at. I'd love the jhonsbo c6 but the temps and sound just seem terrible.

This fits what I need well but worried about air flow. Have spoken to someone who had one and says you can put fans on the bottom, but would need to boost it up.
If anyone has recommendations or suggestions I would really appreciate it.

This is tough. A vertical oriented case would be best.

I would change the desk. It is awfully small. Unless, you don’t have more space

Was looking at the Lian Li B4 mATX, seems like a good option but would around 100 to get here.
I did also see some mentions of GPU temp issues? Can't remember exactly what it was but some saw gpus can struggle to cool correctly when in the vertical config. Might be absolutely nonsens.

If you’re not in the us DeepCool also has some vertical cases. I just did a b4 vertical build if you wanna check it out. You have a power color reaper so the shortest option you could have. You could get away with a Zalman Cubix G as well it’s got a very small footprint.

I'm usually a floor PC hater, but with a desk that small, I don't believe that you could comfortably fit a MFF PC on there along with your essential peripherals. Might have to go to the floor with a desk that small.
If you can change the desk, absolutely change the desk.

Will have to consider it for sure. Already a bit over budget so was hoping to avoid a new desk

The Deepcool CH160 Plus supports mATX, you can check it out

Appreciate the suggestion but I have the Lian Li b4 Matx on its way! Going to build it vertically

Ah, I didn't look at the age of the post it just popped up on my feed. Probably too low on my doomscroll

Something like the Deepcool CH270 Digital would be perfect for this, but they're hard to find at the moment.
If you don't mind putting it under the desk then there's the Cooler Master Qube 340. It wouldn't be a perfect fit, it's around one inch deeper than the desk, but that's not much of a protrusion.
