Enclosure Case Suggestion, slim, tiny MATX

[phantommaggot]

hey guys.
It's been a long while.
Before covid I started a project, solely for the aesthetics, I Have a MATX Triple channel board, 24gb Ballistix LED ram, and a 6 core xeon.
I want to build it into a Teeny, slim, maybe wall mount with a low pro file GPU. Use it as a linux web browser or something. Have all those leds blinking 80s retro futuristic style. The wet dream would be fitting it in a Chopin max with a HDPlex but that won't work so....
Anyone have any case suggestions? I'm just getting back in and there's a lot of new stuff.
I wouldn't even mind modding one of the 'office' pc cases if they were worth my time.

Sleeper PCs are a thing.

There is current cases by Inter-Tech and LC-Power, that ARE usually Office PCs or some smaller NAS / Mediaserver thingy, eg. Inter-Tech IT-502 / 503, or the LC-Power LC-1400 in its various editions. Chieftec offers similarly ugly functional cases, and if that fails to attract, there still are "actual" Sleeper PC cases, eg. the ThinkCentre SFF or the Dell SFF series. In theory, both the already mentioned Inter-Tech IT-502 / 503 as well the linked Chieftec Mesh CS-12 should be identical to those, too.
