Looking for a Case Similar to InWin Chopin with GPU ?

[radr]

I'm looking for a case similar to this one: https://www.inwin-style.com/en/gaming-chassis/Chopin

It looks like I could almost modify it to add a low profile GPU like this one, only if the power supply was on the otherwise. Though I think I would also need at least a 300W power supply, which it only has a 150W.

Looking to try and get a Ryzen 2600 in there as well, for the CPU.

If you're going for a mod, this log shoves an LP 1050 ti where the psu was. pretty clean and awesome mod.

Hey, I am new here but I was in a similar boat. Loved the Chopin design. And ultimately just ended up buying one.... lol

But, if you are looking for a classy mini itx that has the class of the Chopin but can still support a GPU. I'd recommend checking out these cases.

I love these three designs. But they are definitely Premium products. The Ncase probably offers the most flexibility for building. And the S4 might be the most intimidating for building. Both the Dan A4 and Ghost S1 look rather straight forward. But will require Low Profile coolers. With the Ghost S1 having a option for liquid cooling solutions.

Hope this helps you in some way. If any of these cases interests you. There is tons of great information on them on here.

Good Luck

I may be terribly wrong, but those cases you pointed are a bit "big" for someone searching for a Chopin-like case...

Geeek A20, slightly larger than Chopin.

Streacom has several. Eg F1C Evo, slightly smaller than Chopin or F7C Alpha (slightly larger).

I took that as someone who likes the Chopin but wanted something similar that supported a GPU. Which means it needs to be just large enough to support a GPU's. Doesn't it?

Otherwise, wouldn't he just buy a Chopin?

..the S4 might be the most intimidating for building..

I can assure you it is anything but. Probably one of the simplest to build in. A very well designed case.

There's no intermediary sizes between chopin and the cases you've pointed out?

Unfortunately not that I have found. The Chopin has a Vol of 4.45L. The S4 mini is the closest at 4.6L.(But powering the S4 Mini is more complicated than the other because it needs a HDPlex power supply if you use a GPU, so it's just not as simple as a SFX/ATX PSU). The Ghost S1 7.1L+ (Depending if you add the extensions or not), Dan Case A4 is 7.25L and the Ncase M1 is the largest at 12.6L.

Like I said, From my searching these were just a few I found.

Anything smaller would be better off with just integrated graphics. Which is exactly what I am ending up going with. I will be going with the AMD 2400G. Which is perfect for this case.

Unfortunately, I just checked and Amazon no longer has the Chopin available.

But, I hope the original poster finds what he is looking for.

Yah I was thinking of going with integrated graphics but I want a more powerful CPU than what the 2400G has. So I was thinking of going with Intel I7-8700k but the integrated GPU isn't as good as 2400G one. I wish they released a 2600G or 2700G variant ):.

I know what you mean. I think a i7 8700k might be problematic at this form factor tho. The i5 8600k would probably be a better fit.

Hopefully, we will get something when they release 7nm. But, for now I think the 2400G would be my best option. 4 core 8 thread 4.0Ghz over-clock, Vega 11 Graphics. It should be plenty of power for just about any usage. And the Vega 11 will provide adequate gaming performance.

But, it really just all depends on what you will be doing.

Would love to see a 6 core 12 thread APU.
