What is the smallest PC case I can get?
 
Hi,

What is the smallest case can I get an Intel i5 CPU with an AMD R380 (4GB) with 3 Hard Drives?

The reason, I ask is I am wanting to move my PC, next to my TV and it is currently in an Antec 902 and it would look out of place at the moment.

The issue I see in all cases would be the GPU sticking out from the mobo.

This seems to cover that issue, dropping the height but keeping the width. It's pricey but it's more the idea and dimensions. Which are 39.6 x 25.9 x 32 cm. The PSU goes in the solid white side as you'll understand by looking at the cable management in the images.

Another, see image three, they dropped the width but factored in a large GPU: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Computers...s=mini+pc+case

There's space for two HDD's across the bottom there and should you not need the DVD drive, you could leave the placeholder on and slot a third in there.

Not entirely sure what the smallest would be but I'd rule out slim line cases for the obvious reason, you'd never get the side panel on over the GPU. I think that leaves a cube case.

Yeah, same as I said above with this too, fit the two and use the DVD drive slot as the third slot and keep the front placeholder on. Is cheaper than the original too. If the DVD drive is a requirement then there's the possibility of just using external sata or dependent on size just grab one drive double the size, keeping the OS drive and moving everything from the other two to that new drive.

Both also support the issue between Air cooling and Hydro cooling such as H60-100i's etc. So could fit either.

There's also cases generally used for steam boxes
