My 2 cents on cases: you really need to check the sizes of your gpu, psu (if non is built into the case, then check the wattage) and cpu cooler. I've built 3 mini itx builds so far. one in a custom case, one in a fractal design core 500 (pretty large, but fits 2 3.5" and a 5.25", large GPU and ATX PSU. That's my homeserver sitting under the desk) and one in a NZXT H1 v2 (v1 had issues with the riser). The latter is very thought through, building in it was straight forward and easy.
Yeah, it seems I really need to see what cases are available and what GPUs are available
I'm living in a not very developed country, so choice is limited, options like 180mm, 200mm, 220mm, and more
So I can narrow stuff down by these sizes
(I read all the messages, and then went researching, so now came with the results😁)
