Are there other gaming mATX/ITX cases like the Silverstone FT03?

I want something with a small footprint (meaning the video card would have to be mounted vertically), but can take a full-sized video card.

The Silverstone FT03 Mini seems great, but video cards are limited to less than 10".

I believe SilverStone owns the patent on this layout.

Just a guess but isnt there an FT03 non mini that will take a bigger card without being too much bigger than the mini?

The FT03 is about 2x the volume as the FT03 mini. It's actually 6L larger in volume than the BitFenix Prodigy.

Also, I find it interesting that you can patent a case design where the GPU is vertical.

It's actually the motherboard orientation...

...this isn't my homework btw. I read about this in the NCASE M1 thread over at HardOCP. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1717132&page=9

Talking about the M1... If you really want a small case, the NCASE M1 is it. Check out the first page of that thread I posted.

M1 was a limited production run. Good luck finding someone selling theirs. If they had made it for mATX instead of mini I'd have definitely gotten one.

"Regarding future plans - M1 rev2 is cooking indeed."
