Hi, looking to build a new PC. I will be using either the 5080 or 5090 FE, but due to their double flow through design I dont think a sandwich case will perform well (and also Riser issues with Pcie 5.0). What are some of yall's favorite cases that are relatively small (less than say, 16L) and are riserless? I'm aware of the Ncase M2 and the Meshroom D. Anything I should check out that arent these?

Thanks
jtl

Well, NR200, Sliger S620 (or its successor by Q1 2025), maybe S610 (I didn't check if it is compatible with RTX 5080/90 FE)
Sliger Cerberus/Cerberus-X but on the bigger side (keep in mind, global sliger case refresh is ongoing)

FormD T1 should be good with 2xpassthrough design as you have 2xfans to exhaust hot air.
