Hi all,
I'm new here, but I've been building PCs for ages. I'm looking to assemble an APU SFF build, and going for very minimalistic, smallest feasible volume enclosure.
Here's what I currently have:
The IN WIN Chopin Pro seems to fit most of my requirements, and the price is right. Although I couldn't put to use my 12V 10A brick that is just gathering dust. I'm starting to realize I might need to swap out my PICOPSU-150-XT for something else since I'm missing a crucial cable for the CPU. Is the RGEEK 250W DC-ATX unit OK for the price?
The Mini-Box M530 is interesting and the price is right. But I dunno, it just looks plasticky? I can't really tell if there's any wasted space, considering I'm looking for smallest volume.
Is there any other case I should be looking at in order to best utilize my existing parts list above? Keeping in mind I'm looking for small and minimalistic. I will pay more for better build quality.
Thanks guys!

Here's what I currently have:
- ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 (likely will be connecting my eGPU occasionally)
- AMD Ryzen 3 5300G (pulled from a HP prebuilt that I scavenged for GPU/parts)
- 2 x 8GB 3200 DDR4 RAM (pulled from some other system)
- SSD - I have both NVMe and SATA laying around here, depending on how much storage I might need.
- 12V 10A external AC-DC brick from Mini-box
- PICOPSU-150-XT (missing the JST-XH to 4-pin ATX CPU cable, lost it somewhere along the way!)
