I think <37L(excluding case feet, screws, etc.) is acceptable for ATX... The Meshify C is what I consider to be somewhat "SFF", considering that when you compare its layout and the amount of hardware that you can fit in it compared to something like the 270R or basically any Corsair tower, while retaining lower volume. I personally like to judge ATX cases by "how much empty space is there" when there is an average-length GPU, ATX motherboard, a larger tower cooler (anything with fans above 92mm), PSU, 2 3.5" drives, and 2 2.5" drives. The R6 is what I would consider a "SFF" full-tower (lmfao those words don't fit together) because of this: you get 9 drives, up to 3 GPUs, and 360mm AIOs in a very compact package compared to something like the Dark Base Pro 900.


For "SFF", I think my initial impressions of a case make it seem (in my mind) smaller than it actually is, so that Streacom case with no GPU support looks properly "SFF" to me. I couldn't care less if you're running the max amount of hardware you can stuff in the case and there's still no empty space (example: The Thermaltake V20 and H200i don't satisfy these requirements since there's still gonna be wasted space, especially in the H200i, where you have max fans and such and still have empty space.
