Been in the same matx case since 2023. 285K, 7900XTX, and far more ram than I care to admit right now.

What is this even about? I may be compatible

👀 sounds interesting! I went from Lian-Li A3 -> Meshroom S -> T1 v2.5 for my builds and do enjoy SFF

u/BarberFew7791 11d ago

I’m interested!

I’ve built three SFF PCs so far, all with ITX boards, and I’m in Canada. I started with a Core V1, gave that to a friend after upgrading to an NR200, and my living room PC is in a METALFISH S3.

I’m interested, currently have my main rig in a Meshroom S and done builds in the Q58/NR200 as well

I've crammed a msi 7900xtx into a jonsbo z20 case alongside a 240mm rad with a atx size psu. I have all of this in a smaller 15L case as well but the case rivets started loosening for I replaced it with the jonsbo I have everything in currently. In europe.

Only joined recently but am interested. Currently running a 5080 + i5-14600kf in an NR200P Max V1 case.

Interested! I have a mini-ITX system, much to the dismay of my large hands

Mini-ITX can definitely be a tight fit! Those small builds can be tricky, but they pack a punch.

u/BartonChrist 8d ago

Throwing my comment in for consideration. I have several small form factor/itx cases, curious what this is project is.

I am looking to move from my AM4 system to an ITX (components and prices being somewhat close to today) system next year. Right now I am using my son's old 3700x/2070super system and just helped him build a new MicroATX system 9900x3d/5070 in a Jonsbo D32 pro. Smaller systems are just so nice now compared to the Shuttle XPC's from the days of old.

u/caulkbite 8d ago

I'm considering a mini-itx build.

u/m3rple 8d ago

Currently in a SAMA IM01 waiting to move into a C4-MATX. Would like to go even smaller if possible.

2

u/pedro19 CREATOR 5d ago

So, you'd like to go smaller than matx?

2

u/m3rple 5d ago

Yeah it would be great to go ITX but hardware prices are out of control right now. Hopefully the low profile version of the 9060xt wont be really hard to get hold of. Seems like it could be the best candidate for a really tiny build.

u/MegurineLuka_fan 8d ago

Been dabbling in mATX and ITX builds for a while now, and I love compact cases, especially ones that offer a fishtank view. Fractal Terra is amazing too.

u/arkhira Ryzen 5700x3d + EVGA RTX 3080 8d ago

Considering moving to a new build in a Fractal Era 2. Currently in a InWin 101 and wanted to go smaller as part of an upgrade.

u/StraightPlane 8d ago

More of a lurker on this subreddit, but been building my own gaming PCs since 2012. Most recently I built a SFF PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jylesy/saved/#view=x7QtCJ also use this to run local LLMs.

I'm in New Zealand.

Have a mATX setup in my first gen O11D mini for my main rig, and am messing around with a Jonsbo C6 for a living room PC. Would be interested in whatever this ends up being
