    XS Small Form Factor (SFF) Case Gallery

    Hi everyone.

    After seeing some great worklogs with SFF cases i thought it would be great to make a dedicated SFF case gallery.

    SFF stands for Small Form Factor. SFF cases are small compact cases and almost never fit full ATX size motherboards. Most SFF pc's have mATX motherboards. Most high-end pimprigs on XS are big but even small pc's can be beautiful.

    Please post your SFF case and tell about the details, what case, parts and cooling.

    This one is long gone, but it was one of my favorite cases to work with.

    mcr220, fuzion, mcp355

    as you can see i had to mod the rad to fit the video card, it was worth it though, that thing was a beast setup

    If they are Small Form Factor cases, Yes
    ePOWER EP-2000P10-T3 REVIEW at www.newegg.com

    Pros: Powering my computer along with my air conditioner and my refrigerator, and I used it to jump start my truck once.

    Cons: The only problem was the FBI at my door saying something about knocking out power for the east coast...not sure what thats about.

    NO no
    SFF cases are mostly mATX cases. Define SFF? Cases like the Lian-li V3x00, Silverstone SG01B, Thermaltake Lanbox. Cases you would take to a lanparty. HTPC cases are also fine with me.

    The Twice7 is a huge-a$$ case which even fits EATX motherboards, and taking it to a lanparty would break your back.

    not all SFF are mATX there are a few ATX SFF, obviously not as small as a mATX case but pretty small for a ATX.

    SFF = anything smaller then a mid tower (well not anything but that should give u an idea)

    Nice, I also hope to build a V350 with DFI mATX within a few months.

    You want cramped? Take a look at my HTPC


    Ordered a Bitspower Mini DDC top this morning as I couldn't fit any other res inside, and bleeding with a tee is so damned hard.
