I've stumbled upon pictures of various barebone PCs that have cases lined with heatsink fins...

And I was wondering if there are any cases like this for enthusiasts to build in. I would love to have something like this, but instead all I found anything like this was a few months ago when Hardware Canucks reviewed a large passively cooled cube case with wasn't really "SFF".


It would be really nice to have a completely passive system via this and external PSU for an APU in a mITX motherboard. I've been patiently waiting for Ryzen APUs and IDK if such a passive cooling system could handle a 65W TDP APU, but the idea is just so desirable.


TLDR: Is there a ITX barebone PC case that doubles as a CPU cooling solution? If not: why not?
