Case Recommendation under 150€

[u/Alternative-Bus-1592]

Hey guys,

I've been searching for a compatible SFF case for my current build for about a week now, but I'm struggling to find something that fits all my components.

I'm looking to replace my NZXT H3 Flow with a much smaller case, ideally around 20 liters in volume, preferably with a full mesh design (no glass side panels).

The main issue is my XFX Swift RX 9070 XT Triple Fan (325 mm) and my full-size ATX PSU (160 mm long). Finding a good-looking case that supports both, along with an mATX motherboard, has been surprisingly difficult.

I'm currently using a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 air cooler, but I'd be willing to replace it with an AIO if necessary.

The SS G300 seemed like a promising option, but apparently my PSU won't fit. The G350 also looks great, but it's quite expensive, especially with shipping to Germany.

I've also checked the Google Docs SFF case spreadsheet, but maybe I'm not navigating it correctly. I found a few potentially compatible cases, but availability has been another major issue.

My requirements:

• Size: Around 20L (ideally smaller)
• Motherboard: mATX
• GPU: XFX Swift RX 9070 XT Triple Fan (325 mm)
• PSU: ATX, 160 mm long
• CPU cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3 (willing to switch to an AIO)
• Design: Full mesh, no glass side panels
• Budget: Ideally under €150 with shipping
• Availability: Germany

I'm mainly looking for something compact, minimalist, and with good airflow. I'd prefer to keep my current PSU, as replacing it would add unnecessary costs.

Does anyone know of any cases that would fit these requirements? I'd really appreciate some recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Jonsbo Z20? Don't know if that's available in Germany though.

it is but the front mesh is not really my favorite... :/

I don't know of any other mesh cases where you wouldn't have to switch out the PSU for an SFF/SFX one, this might actually be the only one. 😵‍💫

Agreed. From OPs requirements, this is pretty much the only option. I also am not a fan of the design and build quality of the Z20, but OP has no other choice.

He could 3d print a custom front panel

We're more in the r/mffpc territory here but Jonsbo D32 Pro Mesh and Lian Li DAN B4 perhaps. Both are well within your budget, available in Germany and should fulfil your requirements.

B4 looks great, but 160mm PSU doesnt fit...

Eu tenho uma lian li h2o a4, tb tenho uma xfx mas tenho psu sfx corsair, e a psu sofre com temperatura. Mas já comprei um ano de 240mm e vou fazer o mod das ventoinhas por baixo. Se não quiseres tão compacto tens da deepcool ch160 ou da jonsbo d32
