Hi,
I'm interested in building my first SFF PC.

So far the most affordable mini-itx case in Malaysia is Cougar QBX (RM200).
But I'm looking into more variation within the price range.

From taobao I found SKTC Q1/Q2

Any more other taobao cases?

Can anyone recommend me itx case that fit with flex psu?
Recently my brother upgraded his pc and has leftover itx mobo.
Prefer without GPU slot cuz i'll be using intergrated graphics.

EDIT: I also heard the weird psu version which basically the atx power connector is connected into some sort of power regulator chip and then directly into wall plug via DC connector.

EDIT 2: It's called PICO psu. So can anyone recommend any one of them?

Thanks.

Any b450 owner here? Contemplating whether will be the B550 worth waiting since price is almost twice of B450.
Only Benefit of going B550 that I see
1) PCIE4.0-Not much diff since not having a PCIE4 Nvme ssd
2) Extra M2 Nvme Slot - I do have a 1x512GB and 1x 1TB Nvme but 1TB shud be sufficient for me since I only play Destiny and Apex Legends.
3) Wifi 6 - This would need some input from B450I owner whether you guys have tried upgrading the wifi card to Intel AX200, i already have this card so it should be a simple swap for the upgrade.
4) Overclocking - Not really ocing but rather more on undervolting to keep temps in check for me.
5) Extra Fan Header - no room for additional case fans in my build so non-issue

So, really hard for me to justify the roughly estimated 300-400 extra for B550 :/

Most people will spend extra $ for X570 instead of B550 because it is huge increament pricing compared to its predecessor B450.

Or you can skip entirely and wait for the next gen Zen 4 with AM5 socket + DDR5 ram

Comming from B450 user.

Regarding the wifi upgrade do you have plans to upgrade it or keeping it at ac is good for you?

My house subscribed to Unifi 100Mbps but never 100% utilise.
So AX and above never bother me.
Plus gaming is better on ethernet anyway.

Will Cooler Master bring in NCORE 100 Max into Malaysia?

Really cool to see tall tower design that can fit beefy GPU nowadays.
