I've built my last two mATX machines which I use for 3D modeling work pushing two 30" monitors. My machine died Thursday on the first day of a new job! (long story) I'm using my backup an old MSI Stealth laptop, but it is slow. It's kind of an emergency and I don't have the time to research and build a new machine. Anyone know of companies who build/stock mATX/ITX SFF builds? Everything I'm finding is substantially bigger than my current box which used a Silverstone Sg13b case. (8.47" (W) x 7.13" (H) x 11.22" (D). These available brands --like Titan-- also have substantial lead times, by which time my job will be over. All the smaller machines I'm finding are low end $300 boxes -- even though they are advertized as "gaming" machines.

+1 on what @Phuncz said above, and since it's emergency, do consider pre-owned PCs as well - I think you'll find some options.

MSI's Trident line is small compared to most prebuilts, though the CPU/GPU selection for them is pretty limited.

It depends on your location. For the US: https://www.falcon-nw.com/desktops/overview

There will be many more boutique lesser known builders that offer excellent solutions.
I was just about to post the same here, but then saw your post :D

They're occassionally mentioned by Gamers Nexus, so they should be solid :)


While talking about GN, they also did a review of a Fractal Terra pre-built by Starforge:



Edit: That one doesnt seem to be available anymore, but they still got a custom A4-H2O bundle they call "Gloomy Bear PC Bundle", with decent system specs, ie. a Ryzen 7600X + 32 GB RAM + RTX 4070 Super.
