ITX PC case buying guide for Fourways residents

Quick Answer

Fourways residents building a compact ITX PC should budget R1,200–R4,500 for the case. The Cooler Master NR200P (R2,200) is the best all-rounder at 18 L with 330 mm GPU clearance; the Lian Li A4-H2O (R3,500) is the most compact at 11 L for ultra-small builds. Both require a Mini-ITX motherboard and SFX PSU for best fit. Evetech delivers to Fourways within 1–2 business days.

ITX Build Basics for Fourways Buyers

ITX cases run from as small as 4 L (very limited cooling) to 18–20 L (full-size GPU, decent airflow). The sweet spot for most Fourways home office and gaming setups is 10–18 L — enough room for an RTX 4070, low-profile AIO cooler, and a decent PSU. Fourways large-house layouts often have more room, but ITX remains popular for media room PCs, second office setups, and travelling competition rigs.

Recommended ITX Cases

Cooler Master NR200P (~R2,200) — 18 L, 330 mm GPU, 160 mm CPU height, optional mesh or acrylic side panel. Supports ATX and SFX PSUs. Best for flexibility. Lian Li A4-H2O (~R3,500) — 11 L, 305 mm GPU, SFX only, 240 mm AIO support. Designed for high-end compact builds. Fractal Design Terra (~R3,800) — 10.5 L, aluminium case, 322 mm GPU. Premium choice for professionals who want aesthetics alongside performance. InWin A1 Plus (~R2,800) — 12.7 L, integrated 650 W SFX PSU included, Qi wireless charger on top. Unique feature set for home office users who value desk tidiness.

Compatibility Checklist Before Buying

Before ordering from Evetech: (1) confirm Mini-ITX board fits (170 x 170 mm); (2) measure GPU card length and compare to case spec; (3) check CPU cooler height against case limit; (4) verify PSU form factor (SFX vs ATX); (5) confirm M.2 and RAM clearance on the specific ITX board. Small builds require more planning than mid-tower builds — every millimetre matters.

FAQ

What GPU fits in a Lian Li A4-H2O?

The A4-H2O supports GPUs up to 305 mm in length and 2.5 slots thick. The RTX 4070 Founders Edition (240 mm) fits easily; most partner cards up to 300 mm also fit. The RTX 4080 at 336 mm does not fit.

Can I use an ITX case for a high-end gaming PC?

Yes — the Cooler Master NR200P can house an RTX 4080 (up to 330 mm) and a Ryzen 9 7900X with a 240 mm AIO. Performance is identical to a mid-tower — the only trade-off is slightly higher component temps.

How long does Evetech take to deliver an ITX case to Fourways?

Typically 1–2 business days. Fourways is in northern Johannesburg — orders placed before 11:00 on weekdays usually ship same-day from Elandsfontein.
