ITX case looks so sexy man
my current PC is an ITX build, I really like it. It is a pain to build though, you have to put a lot of shit together outside the case and now if I want to move something or install a different NVME drive or something I have to take the whole thing apart.But the size is nice. My last PC was in a FD Define R4 which was ridiculously huge and didn't fit anywhere.
*mogs and rapes you*

I'm glad I built my itx rig before pc gaming died7800x3d, 5080, 64gb of RAM, 4tb ssdBeen playing crimson desert maxed out at 1440p/120fps without the gpu or cpu going above 62cBest of all I can take it with me to visit friends and family in a few months
>>736795000Is that some HECKIN' FAKE WOODERINO on my computerino?? WAOWAnyway wrong board fucko, >>>/g/
I waa thinking of doing ITX, but I ended up going with a mid-ATX that was on the smaller side. Still easily transportable while also still being easy to work in.
for me, it's fractal
>>736795139>zoomer lights and pointless side windowsYou'd have to pay me to use that, and I'd still cut the wires to the light.
>>736795371>pointless side windowsthe window is for the case goblin
itx, mini-atx, and all other cuck form factors are peak midwit redditor appeal. why, just why, would you pay MORE for LESS hardware? up to 2x the price of a standard form factor to cuck your own self into having less slots. i used to be one of you faggots, until i grew the fuck up and realized a computer is not a fucking desk ornament.
>>736795000My hands are too big so I only buy full sized towers
I'm just gonna buy a giant corsair box. my CM Stryker has a max card length of 322mm so i'd like an absurd amount space for that and AIOs
>>736795139Does anyone actually like gamer aesthetics?
>lol wooden cases will never take off>every single tranny now has onealright
>>736795000i like my current case but if i had the money i might switch to a fractal torrent mini or whatever its called. i dont like super big cases but i also dont have small enough parts to fit in some super small mini itx case
>>736795000Looks like a cross mix between a heater and a subwoofer
>>736795000too small
>>736795236>>736795623Imagine being this butthurt about wood of all things
>>736795623are the trannies in the room with us right now
itx is nice but my ogre hands makes it a little too annoying to build, never again.
>>736795684my current build is in a torrent nano, I really like it. That being said it's not tiny, it's kind of on the large size for an ITX build
>>736796029my mobo is micro atx and im not buying a new one so even if i downsize it would have to fit that and a 5080
>>736795000Rackmounted cases are clearly the best, it just sucks that the price is also typically much higher.>Horizontal, so no need to worry about sag>Enough room to work in, not a cramped set it and forget it SFF box>Slides in and out of the rack, very comfy>No gaymer glass panels by default>Neat way to organize multiple PCs, servers, UPS and networking stuff>Not taking up desk space or sucking up floor dust
>>736795139>>736795980What do people even need cases this big for anymore? There aren't any useful pcie components anymore. If hard drive storage is your end goal you may as well set up a separate NAS. You don't need 4 ram slots.They don't even have better airflow. Big cases hold in heat even with case fans trying to keep things moving. Smaller cases with good ventilation have nowhere to hold the heat so it gets moved out far more easily.ATX cases have just kinda lost their purpose other than being easy assembly for newbie/inexperienced builders.
>>736796009There is a high chance one of the Anons ITT is an unironic tranny, yes.
>>736795139This is ass.
>>736796009are you really sure you're asking this question, troon? kek, lmao even
>>736796256Isn't it because founders cards and the like are massive pieces of shit?
This is the one I have. It was an ok price at micro center and would fit all my parts vs my old rig where I had to have the liquid coller fans on the outside of the case. The wood grain reminded me of hs and joking about fake wood grain on everything so it was an amusing throwback.
>>736796260>xhe could be any one on you
I got the metalfish t40 which is probably the smallest sff case that can be used with a sfx psu last year, it's pretty nice but I'd like to get a mini pc as well for travelling when ram prices go down (some day)
>>736795980Where do you put your 16TB hard drives?
>ITX>when modern GPUs are the size of shoe boxesKWABLiterally a foid inventionIf you can carry your PC it's not a real PC, real men run mid-towers and gigachads only use full tower builds
>>736797937Work out little man
>>736795000GF just got a jade ITX case and it looks so good. I'm jelly.
>>736797713inside the nas that's stored away in a closet
>>736795000i hate modern cases. i settled with a corsair frame 4000d rs since it was cheap since every other 'normal' tower was like three or four times the price and most of them couldn't fit a RTX 5000 card or just looked way too tight for it to fit in.
>mfw i completed my fractal terra build just before the ram apocalypsesometimes i get lucky
>>736796520Largely yeah though GPUs in general are pretty fucking big anymore. Mid and mini ITX cases are only just barely large enough to fit modern cards, I'm having trouble finding mid cases that can fit my fucking RX 7900 XT.
>>736795000>>736795203>>736795980Where is the cd drive?
>>736799410i have an external one
>>736799481>you lived to see spinning media become deprecated
>>736799410They have those externally these days grandpaDon't even know why you'd need one lmao
>>736795000I don't like the wood accent, it's insincere. Trying too hard to be something it isn't.
>>736795000I recently downsized my 5800x3D/7900xtx build into the green version of this case. It runs quiet and fairly cool, is small enough to put on my desk, and just makes my desktop setup a lot cleaner. And it just looks cool. I'm definitely sticking to ITX builds from here on. The final straw for my previous ATX case was that it just had this annoying rattle no matter what I tried fiddling with or tightening or what. I finally got fed up with it after years, and since I was going to get a new case, I just said fuck it, I'll downsize everything.
>>736799410I don't need one
>>736796256> If hard drive storage is your end goal you may as well set up a separate NAS. You don't need 4 ram slots.No
>>736799410I don't need cup holder.
>>736799642>>736800071Do you never need to install an old game or listen to an album?
>>736795371>zoomerzoomers weren't even born when that case came out lmao
>>736800258If you are being serious you should back up your whole collection.CDs are shit.
>>736795472I was contemplating a mini itx build simply so that I had a case with the gpu not sagging in a socket inevitably destroying the card/socket in use. sure, there's the argument of "just lay your pc case on its side then" but i have concerns about hard drive life when sitting at a different orientation than what it's been at for years.I was also considering designing and getting a case fabricated, but there's a whole bunch of shit involved for that too. Or I'd like one of these ancient ass japanese cases.
>>736800341And how are you supposed to listen to music on your living room's stereo? Mine has the following inputs: 2 tapes, 1 cd, 1 phono.
>>736800507>1 phono.aux? use literally any 3.5mm headphone jackhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BF9JHGXK
>>736800383if you are using a mechanical hard drive then the longevity of parts is not your priority of any kind at allif you want to keep your pc in a normal orientation but are still worried about gpu sagging (as you should, shit's heavy now that they're the size of a state), just steal legos from your kid and build a supporting pillar
>>736795139Only good case in this god forsaken thread.>>736796612trash.>>736795980also trash

>>736800740Phono isn't aux, it has some kind of preamp.But anyway, what would I plug the jack into?
mITX cases have a big premium in cost, compatibility/components, performance (ie heat in a smaller space), working within it, etc. Unless you absolutely NEED something that small for one reason or another its better to just stay with standard ATX at least. Its more expandable and there can be smaller cases that still fit ATX boards and PSUs, as opposed to uATX or mITX. For most people it isn't worthwhile unless you've got a legitimate need and the time/money/skill to make up for it. I

>>736801727Anything is hipster when you yourself are contrarian enough. Wood-grain finish? Reddit. Beige sleeper cases pulled from old eMachines? Reddit. Model F keyboards? Oh you better believe that's a Reddit
>>736800883you say that, but some of my mechanical hard drives have over 10 years of cumulative active uptime each. spinning rust is reliable.
I've been using a "silent" case for like 10 years since my 2nd ever PC and always used mid range hardware that didn't get too hot. But then I decided to make a hardware upgrade a few years ago and realised my existing fans were basically doing nothing because airflow was so restricted. Ended up changing them to high pressure fans which is a game changer.
>>736801094>make an enormously fucking heavy cartridge>cartridge is so heavy it can tear the slot out in the wrong orientation>the cartridge slot was simply made badly!
>>7367962>full size ATX mobo>room for massive 3-fan gpu>maximum airflow
>>736800883>>736801094These are like $6 on Amazon, nigga.
There's no point having a full tower case, it's just a waste of space. The new meta is a wider/longer mid-tower to accommodate new fuckhuge GPUs and CPU coolers.Full towers were only a thing during the HDD age, nowadays modern mobos only have like 2-4 SATA ports and modern cases will only max out at 2 3.5" HDD bays. Hoarders should just invest in a NAS, anything that isn't Synology would work.
>>736802497No one asked for your stupid opinion.
>>736795139>cooler masterIt was always funny that these both sucked ass and cooled for shit.
>>736801960not the cartrigde slot dumbass.THE HEAVY ASS GPU WAS MADE POORLY.Frankly its an attempt to sell you overpriced crap BEFORE its actually ready for general use (hence it overheating so fucking bad it needs a cooler that can break you fucking pcie slot if not propped upSimilar principles apply to EVs.Not truly ready for market or realistic use case scenarios yet still sold as a premium high end item despite currently being woefully impractical.Its poor quality garbage only subhumans would buy.my god your fucking dense though.
>>736802289And yet the shame of literally propping up someone else's piss poor work is priceless
>>736803074No it was not made poorly, GPUs are getting bigger as they get more demanding, very literally that is a smaller computer inside your computer to offload graphics calculations
>>736795000You look sexy bro.
>>736803186Yes and thats a poor product is it requires itself to weigh so much as to damage the actual fucking computer motherboard.Where the fuck are your standards? You are literally ok with buying smething that puts the responsibility on (YOU) to prevent it from destroying the thing its supposed to attach to.Theres getting fucked by your corporate overlords, and then theres making sure to show up in a pretty dress for them first.Seriously if it cant safely work in the manner its supposed to unless you fix it first its fucked.
>>736803186The worst part is most GPUS dont even COME WITH THE FUCKING SUPPORT PROP!I mean sure some shits heavy and needs a prop but that shit is typically in the fucking box. A window AC unti for example. a 200 dollar AC comes with shit to stabilize it.meanwhile in GPU land your buyin this dipshits >>736802289 Prop on amazon because lol fuck you.I mean this shit is egregiously piss poor quality work right there.And you people defend this shit? Goddamn are you Indian and just dont have any standards? Is your existence so fuckin wretched that the very notion of not being treated like abosolute trash is mind bending to you?
been using this since 2020I have a msi expert 5070ti in it that doesn't even require a support since it doesn't sag do you need a quad slot gpu for it to sag or something?
>>736804150Don't they? I mean, admittedly I have bought high end GPUs recently but even going back to my >Asus ROG STRIX 3090 and possibly the Strix 1070 I had before that, they came with a supporter widget in the box if you needed it. My recent GPUs are >Sapphire 9070XT NiTRO+>Asus ROG Astral 5090 and both of them come with supporters for those with vertical boards. I've rarely had to use them as I have a case with a horizontal layout but they'er available.
>>736802289I bought one of the gaymer versions of theseThey're made for these tiny fucking cases. I have to have a dead external HDD to bridge the gap at almost max height.
>>736801727>Not liking good earthy wood over soulless plastic and metalYou aren't druidmaxing properly.
>>736804150Buy SFF then otherwise corpos like novidia will keep making melting gpus that need a small power station to play 20 year old gamesI'm looking forward to chinese gpus, I think the west is done, novidia are coming up with literal scams gimmicks like instagram filters now
>>736800258no. i would just download whatever game it is or the album. I do have a physical collection but only games still get actually used music cds and what little blu ray movies I own physically if I wanted to access them id just do it digitally. convenience wins and this is from a nigga born in 94
>>736806761You can get 6 100gb blu ray disks for about 80 bucks, I think micro sd cards have deprecated blu ray though, a 1tb sd is about 100 bucks sometimes less
I use a fractal define r5 since it's what I started with and the itx tax is too cancer to pay.
>>736795203>I hate my family so much I have and hoon and game at 1440p for the two days a year I see them
>>736795000I've built in a mini-itx case twice and both times it was so insanely annoying it wasn't remotely worth itmid-full+ cases only nowdual chamber only now
>>736797521Where is the GPU. Don't tell.me you are coping with a 60'
>>736807608My family games too nigga.We lan part it up at the holidays. My dad's probably playing brood war right this very second.
>>736807839comfy/wholesomehowever i have to call you a nigger for using nog-speak
I wanted to go from a full atx to this exact case, but it's basically impossible. I would have needed a brand new mobo, and going down that rabbit hole, discovered that "the itx tax" is a real thing, and also extremely limiting in terms of part variety that's available to you. maybe in another 2-3 years when I do an upgrade, I'll just make a completely new build in itx, but that's a big if.
I own a house though, why would I get a circumcised computer?
>>736809494Nah the bank owns your house, pay up debt slave, and dont forget property taxes
Wood front, all black components with zero RGB, mesh side. No regrets
>>736795000Laptops are where its at.
>>736810108I don't have a mortgage, I bought my house with cash. Al>>736809494though property taxes are definitely a thing.

>>736795139it didn't aged well...
>>736810314Cool but no wants to live in the ghetto btw you're circumcised
if you have a case with a window, or anything other than a office membrane keyboard, you're on your way to trooning outsame applies if you have more than one monitor

I'm in love I'm in love with wood panel PC cases and I don't care who knows it!
This is what I'm rockingJonsbo D32 Pro
>>736810405Yea, my house is only worth half a million dollars, absolute poverty tier.
>>736811378Zimbabwe dollars, be specific
>>736795000I love my mini itx build, I'll never go back to normal size desktops.
>>736795000I really want an itx build. But I also want high efficiency and quiet. But the best I could get was a 5060 low t and a 7700. It would still blast my ears off because there's no ventilation
>>736795000they do but i can't bring myself to spend more money on a case. been using this since 2011
>>736801314Mine is pic relatedI really like it and it matches my fireplace mantle
my 'se
>>736812542With a short 5060 there should be enough room in there for air flow. It also depends on the case. Mine is like 10l and there is room for multiple additional case fans.
>>736813259Why does your weird fetish need to be a part of everything.
>>736814148Maybe it's just a decapitated furry and he's keeping it as a trophy
>>736813259yiff in hell>>736814185Everyone knows that isn't the case.
>>736814239No, the case is underneath
>>736795000
my case is under the table who cares what it looks like.
>>736814383that thing won't even turn on without a psu
>>736814743it's there :)
>>736814576That's because you don't love you pc. Many such cases, very sad. Pun intended.
>>736795000I'm a mini pc guy now.
>>736814576You also don't hear the fans nearly as much.
would the steam machine be a good pc? I'm seriously considering it cause it's smaller and i like how it looks
>>736815778Not any better than a laptop.
>>736815778I have a sff pc but I might get one too, just dont expect it to be very powerful
This is perfection. I will die with this build.
>>736815778Depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend. For me the steam machine is a too under powered and I prefer an upgradable machine.
*mogs you*
>>736801314For me it's
Get on my level
>>736795000I hate case trends. Buttons on the front and bottom are ass for under desk set ups. Lemme guess, no I dictator light, either. Dogshit, just like the Lian Li A3.
>>736817192>butchering your quirky chungus retro case instead of getting an usb hubfail/10
This is my case, I like it very much
Which case would be ideal for building an anti-gaming PC and that gives the impression that its owner hates Steam, hates Valve, hates PC gaming, and hates Gabe Newell?
>>736817437That's a brand new case, Silverstone released it last year, retarded clown
My old build had a Meshify C tower and the current one has a Fractal North tower.
>>736817543optiplex
>>736801314I hate tempered glass cases for the reason that it adds a fuckload of weight to the tower, and unfortunately it feels like every modern case that fits my needs all have it.
>>736817823Why would an Optiplex case be ideal for my anti-gaming PC?
>>736817941Because OptiPlex are the defacto office PC tower, and thus you assume it's only powerful enough to run Microsoft Office and nothing more.
>>736817304Front buttons are better for under desk setups though.If the button isn't on top you won't hit it with your foot by accident when using your case as a footrest, as one does.
>>736804315hell yeah NR200 broi have a 7900XT propped up perfectly on two bottom 120mm intake fans, so no sag.two 120mm exhaust on top, two 120mm on the cpu cooler, one 140mm intake on the side, and 92mm exhaust on the back, tons of cooling for such a small case.
>>736818060Which OptiPlex model do you recommend?Are there any anti-gaming motherboards and processors compatible with the OptiPlex?
>>736817706That means you paid extra for a case with a pointless gimmick front that does nothing. Heck, the power switch isn't even in the on position. Who's the retard now?
>>736807663It can fit a radeon 9060xt
are fractal cases still good
I'm just using an NR200 because I don't give a shit. Who looks at their case anyway?Mini ITX for international flights.
Ends you entire bloodline.
>>736817192>release images of that case>oh neat, now I don't have to bust out the commodore if I need to read a 5,25">just a front for external drivesIt was foolish to dream.
>>736819386That case sucks and you suck, pretentious prick
>>736815778Steam Machine is seriously gimped on the GPU side of things unless you don't plan on playing any UE5 game at above medium settings.
>>736818247You still are for thinking that I own it and that you only respond to one person on 4chan. Retarded jumping clown
>>736815402too based for this neggers
man I love ITX cases
>>736795371>>zoomer lightsI'm a millenial and I was in my mid teens when that case came out.
