What's the best mitx case /g/

not that one

Zalman M1, hands down.

Ncase M1

All the overpriced crowdfunded ones.

yes

because it has no downsides other than price

even then it includes a fan hub which would cost you at least $20 normally

Basically, it's like this.

Manta - Really solid build quality, get a ton of room, great cable management, easy watercooling options, great noise suppression (Which is a problem for mITX cases) and solid air flow. It lacks a lot of drive options though, it only has one 3.5" drive bay in the back and of course two SSD mounts.

It's a great case if you're willing to spend the money. I'd recommend it if you're paying $1000+ and don't care too much about prices.


Ncase M1 - Literally a meme. It looks really nice. It's made solidly. It lacks a lot of airflow options though. You can't fit a good sized GPU or CPU cooler. It's $180 too. While the Manta is a bit overpriced, the Ncase is super overpriced and lacks a lot of things that make modern ITX cases great.

If you live in an apartment in Tokyo and have little space but a lot of money, then get the Ncase. If not just get the Manta if you want to overspend on an ITX case.


Define Nano S - This is probably the most low key non-gaymer ITX case out there. It seems like a case a lot of /g/eniuses would buy due to it's minimalist look. It's basically a scaled down Define R5, but it's a really nice case.

I'd say it's probably the best buy overall. The air flow is superior to that of the Manta, but it lacks a lot of features the Manta has. That said if you're just looking for a performance case and like a basic look, then I'd get the Define Nano S.


Phantek Enthoo Evolv ITX - It's super popular because it's so cheap. I hear good and bad things about this case. I hear from some people the air flow is really good but read reviews, people are constantly complaining about overheating problems. It's a shame because in my opinion it's the best looking ITX case out there.

The price of the case has also climbed with the recent success of Phanteks. I personally would get the Define S Nano over this case due to the inconsistency of reviews.

Zalman M1: Manta + great drive options and still smaller.

The NCase isn't a meme;

Only when you try to watercool actual high end hardware like I did. The air temperatures were a bit worse for CPU and GPU, but the drives and board had healthier temperatures.

Manta is a meme, because it's basically a compact ATX or mATX case.

Nano S is a good case. Evolv ITX is a good case.

Full size cards definetly fit in the Ncase, I have an evga 1080 ftw in mine, and running a 4690k at 4.6ghz without any thermal throttling. The Ncase is a premium case though so it is expensive. If on a budget I guess other options like nzxt, phanteks, or fractal design are okay, but those might as well be matx considering how big they are.

The issue with the Define Nano S is the GPU is cucked by the PSU. Look up pictures of finished builds, there's like a quarter inch of clearance.

At least NZXT added a vented shroud.

>>58729567
I actually have this case.

My uncle who works for a company making boats gave him this PC case when he got his promotion.
he had no idea how to assemble anything so i had to do it, did not look good.

>>58734029
Mine doesn't look too great right now either, have to get a modular PSU and work on the cable management

>>58734060
A modular PSU is the only thing he didnt get... looks like a spider nest coverd with sawdust last time i saw it, dusted it off and made god damn sure it wouldnt start a fire

>>58727939
fractal define r5

What's the point of white cases when most hardware is black

>>58735744
For people who just want a white case or also have white peripherals.

>>58735758
But it wouldn't match

>>58735843
Not everyone gives a damn. I've got a black monitor next to an aluminium case right now.

Manta, Nano S or Evolv?
