This case is really great for a Ryzen 2200G or 2400G build. It was completely out of stock at every retailer in the US but Microcenter has it in stock now with a discount. If you do pick it up in store don't forget to use the $5 off $30 discount: https://www.retailmenot.com/view/microcenter.com
If you do decide to go with this case I recommend the Noctua NH-L9i, it's a really great low profile cooler that fits nicely in this case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009VCAJ7W/
Edit: this case is $99.00 on Amazon and I believe it was that price on Newegg before it sold out. So this is a pretty solid sale.

It's impressive for sure, I definitely won't deny that, nicely done! I also saw mention that you've had that hardware since 2013 so I wouldn't dare fault you for that setup but for anyone else that is interested in pursuing a similar setup in under 3 liters, it is worth mentioning that the new AMD 3400G APU would likely provide similar performance (it's ever so slightly faster than the 2400G), with less demands on power.
The 2400G APU was a worthy competitor to the 750TI and it fits perfectly in a Chopin

It's pretty impressive how well these APUs can perform. It's just too bad the 3400G isn't on 7nm. Maybe the next-gen APU will see an greater bump in performance too.
Yeah, I have one crammed into a Inwin Chopin case for taking on trips where I want a desktop.
Really excited for whenever chiplet APU setups hit desktop chips, probably next year!
I absolutely love putting together Mini-ITX pcs, but I have to go with the top comment here: for a Q4 2019 build, the market will have changed dramatically. You should wait until around 2 weeks before you want to build, then post here again.
Though, what will not change that much is cases! Definitely check out r/sffpc . I noticed you touched on the Nano S and the H200. Those are both ITX cases, but if you're trying to go as small as possible, you've got to go with a Small Form-Factor (SFF) case which I think is defined as <12 liters in volume. Here's a rundown of some good ones:
Fractal Node 202: Console sized case, looks great and good thermal results. $70
Dr. Zaber Sentry: Even better/smaller console form factor. $260
Sliger SM550 or SM560: My strongest recommendation! I have heard nothing but amazing things about their customer service/support, and I think the cases are ridiculously good looking. $190
Geeek A50: My budget choice. These cases require some assembly, and some complain that the acrylic scratches easily, but they look soooo good. $70 + $30 for PCIE Riser
InWin Chopin: Good looking super small case. $100
Sugo SG13: Another good budget option. I think even though it's a shoebox-style case, it looks pretty good. ~$50
Edit: You may see people recommend the Loque Ghost. They did a really strong PR push, but from what I've heard, their customer service is exceptionally poor, and people have been waiting for like 3 months to get their cases. Do not recommend.
For anyone interested, the black version of this case is finally available on Amazon US *shipping in 3-5 days.
Inwin Chopin would make a good HTPC
It include a 150w PSU aswell.

The InWin Chopin doesn't allocate room for a GPU, and comes in at 4.5L. See this subreddit's spreadsheet for more info on it.

Honestly I wouldn't even consider that case small form fsctor. I'd go for an itx build in an Inwin Chopin. That thing is so small and cool I want to make one but I already have too many computers. Your only using a ryzen 5 APU anyway. Don't need space for a graphics card

I always recommend the inwin chopin or its uglier/cheaper sister the BQ656T. Yours looks different from mine lol but I'm confident they all share the same internal shape and stuff. The Chopin is mostly OOS thats why prices are driven up. But when its in stock you can find it for ~100USD
I have a 2400g, asrock fatality itx mobo, and m.2 ssd. The 150w psu is plenty as your OC will be thermally limited. As for cooler options, in this case the stock cooler will fit but if you do want to OC, upgrade to the noctua l9a or c7 cu. I have also seen people remove the fan from the stock cooler and gerry rig an 120mm fan on the original heat sink with good results. I personally have the l9a and i strapped a 120mm thin fan to it for better results.
At this size you will not beable to fit any 3.5" drives. As for the build, its o k. You should break down the case so you can re reroute the psu cables thru the front and behind the mobo, and with some patience you can get it looking nice.
I personally love my chopin and its really smol. Some people have said the tiny psu fan gets loud, but personally I've never had a problem. I'm also really impressed with the 2400g and its performance. Pretty easy to OC/undervolt. AMA
Hey, kona

The photo is from the official Geeek Instagram, not mine. If you want to build a portable sffpc go with something all metal. I have the Geeek A30 and it will crack if you're not careful. You may want to check out the Dan A4-SFX It's expensive but better suited for travel. If you do not need a GPU in your build, go with the InWin Chopin. I hope that helps.

this is the chopin.

Is it because of the air flow or the small fans ?
I thought I would be able to fit noctua low profile fan.
You think it will not fit ?
If so you think inwin case will be better ?
I just bought one a few days ago
