I am looking to move from my Sliger Cerberus X with a 5800X3D and 4090FE to a smaller system with a 7800X3D. I wanted to do an ITX build a couple years ago when I moved my system in to the Cerberus X but I needed a 10Gb network card with so ATX (or mATX but already had an ATX board) was my only option. I no longer need networking that fast on this machine as it is just for gaming now (and occasional ML workloads on the GPU but most of my programming isn't done on this machine anymore) and motherboards offer much better internal NICs today.
I decided on the Dan Case C4 but ended missing the opportunity to get it. I have been waiting for an email from Overclockers but found out there is a V2 coming but not until 2024 and there won't be any more V1s being released. So my question is, what alternatives are available that still have premium build quality, support for at least the 4090 FE (and I am okay with an extra liter to have more room in the future as I feel GPUs will likely continue to swell in size) and ideally support for a 240mm or 280mm radiator for the CPU? I considered stuffing all of this into a FormD T1 as I have always loved the look of that case and it is so tiny. Optimum Tech has shown it works but I am concerned that under some ML workloads where the CPU is being hit harder I may run in to thermal issues using even the best low profile cooler.
If I can add more information to clarify my needs and wants, please let me know. I've done a lot of looking at SFF cases and while the new Ncase M1 Evo looks like it would be great but seems that is also pretty far off. I can wait if necessary but my wife has recently gotten in to PC gaming and would love to give her my Cerberus system with my trust 1080Ti as that will more than run her favorite games at 1440p (Overwatch and Doom Eternal) so she can play whenever she wants and we can play together.
Thanks in Advance!
