Hello, how are you?
I am in the process of refreshing my setup.
i finally got a new chair.
Next I am going to get a new desk.
With this, I am thinking about a monitor arm, as my Y27G stand takes a silly amount of space.
my current case is a Haf XB. While being a good case, it has a big footprint hat requires me to have a separate table just for the case.
So I am also thinking about a new case.
i thought about itx and was set on the Phantkes Switch as it still allows good CPU and gpu cooling and some storage options.
but then I cut some measurements on a card to visualize and was somewhat surprised.
it is smaller than a Thermaltake View 31:
but then, comparing it to a smaller atx case like the new Fractal Meshify, the difference in footprint is not that great.
and the fractal can house an atx psu, a 360 or 240 AIO, or a CPU tower cooler up to 170mm.
what do you think? Is it worth the compromises on cooling just for such a small difference in footprint? Would this difference make such a big deal on a desk?
what are your thoughts?
thanks.
cheers!
