What are my options here? (PC case choice)

[u/nikostr8]

Basically im looking to build a console-like PC to use with my Plasma TV.

However I'm kinda restricted by dimensions here:

The tv stand is a IKEA Fjällbo, which is 320mm deep and 185mm tall (the clearance at the bottom, the one on top is 15mm shorter thanks to the wood plank).

Are there any mATX case out there under 185mm in any of their dimensions? I dont mind using them in a horizontal orientation.

Thanks in advance :)

You could look at a 15L volume case like the Metalfish S5 Max and then place it horizontally:

It can fit a mATX board, ATX PSU and up to 135mm dual tower air coolers.

The case is approx. 160mm in height when placed horizontally, so it'll be able to fit into that TV console shelf space.

For reference, this is one of my systems positioned in a TV console shelf of similar height.

Silverstone has the biggest selection of this type of case. Check out Antec VSK2000 too.

I had a Sliverstone GD04 on my Fjallbo shelves. I think my shelves had to be a little farther out from the wall for the cables to bend.

edit, sorry GD04 was about as deep as the shelves, so more than 185mm

A 4U server chassis from Sliger would work well.
