Sometimes looking for a small form factor case, you might be size-limited, but Cooler Master’s new vertical NCore 100 Max can fit an RTX 4090. At Computex 2023, Cooler Master is showing off a very stylish standing PC case under a small form factor. As Tom’s Hardware shows off, it comes in a few different colors and with a lot of easily accessible parts to it.
The small form factor case does offer a toolless design and has tabs and levers to use that allow it to be disassembled without any screws needed. It does also come with preinstalled cooling and power supply. The PSU on board is an 850W SFX Gold option and the CPU cooler offers a thick radiator and 2,400 RPM Silencio fan. Supposedly it has been tested with a 13900K at 250 Watts with no issues.
The case comes in at a size of 155-172mm (6.1-6.7in) thick, height of 481mm (18.9in), and width of 212mm (8.3in). Even though it seems rather small, it does support an RTX 4090 that is up to 357mm long (14in). With no RGB, you just get the various colors available of the anodized aluminum panels, these are bronze or deep green.
With the small size, you are limited in the expansions, with just one drive bay for a 2.5-inch bay and a small I/O expansion. There is no pricing as of yet so you have to wait and see to its release to find if you want to actually buy it.
