discussion need help finding a case.

[Marzipan]

I'm looking for a SFF case that can hold a mATX motherboard that is 175mm or less in width. everything I've found so far is ITX, so no go. it's for a workstation running a 9700X, using iGPU, 64GB RAM and needs space for 1x 3.5" HDD.

Zalman ZM-T2 would fit the bill but it's no longer in production. I think Metalfish S5 may work but they are only available on Aliexpress $91 with free shipping.

No idea what this is, but looks like the right side as it's only 145mm wide: https://www.newegg.ca/soeyi-mini-tower-plastic-cases-computer-cases-atx-form/p/2AM-05KK-00003

Would likely be better to swap out the motherboard for mITX though if footprint is the main concern.

mATX in smaller cases is kind of a tough spot, most of the compact options are ITX so choices get pretty limited.

Good ol Silverstone Sugo13/14? Could probably find one on ebay, but those put the PSU in the dumb spot right over the socket.

Ive got a few other options in my head, just images I gotta Google and put names to. I dont build as many PCs as I used to... sigh. Will reply again later if I can think of any, but in the meantime:

Any other requirements? Cooling? Desktop orientation vs tower? Odd shapes? Windows? Etc...
