need suggestions for a ITX/microATX test bench/open case. the smaller the better

terroralpha · Apr 16, 2018

hello

i am looking for a test bench type of set up that takes up as least amount of space as possible. SFX PSU mounting is a plus. no optical or 2.5/3.5 drive mounting preferred. i need it to only hold a motherboard and a PSU. that's it.

i looked at the LIAN LI PC-T60B, but that would require modding as i would have to chop off everything before the motherboard tray.

DIYPC Alpha-GT3 looks good, but i'd like it to be even smaller.

any suggestions?

This is what I use and have been using for 15 years. I can't imagine using anything smaller
I guess you could shorten the legs and modify it. It's cheap

How about https://openbenchtable.com/mini/ ?
Can't get much smaller than that.
Unfortunately they seem to be out of stock right now, but it seems these guys have it in stock https://www.quietpcusa.com/Streacom-ST-BC1-MINI-Open-Benchtable
