What case can I get for a miniITX, a full size graphics card and a single fan watercooler?

I've also never worked with a small form factor, so excuse noob explanations

I'm trying to save space, my current pc is about 500mm x 500mm x 210mm it's massive for my desk and I really need a smaller one.

I don't plan on changing my components soon since they work fine for me, so I was looking for a case that could fit a MiniITX MoBo, a full size Graphics card(GTX 1060) and a single fan watercooler assembly, the rest is not as important(HDD,PSU) since the size doesn't vary much.

I'm trying to avoid custom made stuff since most don't deliver in south america, and those who do charge a premium.

anything made from a major company should be easily accessible where I live, what do you guys recommend?

Maybe a dumb question but... How do you know which way is intake and which way is exhaust when installing case fans when no fans are included (like the LianLi TU150)?

First Water-cooled Build (in progress)

​

https://preview.redd.it/jx5ur5xwfxg41.jpg?width=1249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47513e408f36807e64bfc20a56cc94438cb7de37

​

So decided to transplant all my components from my NCase M1 dual 120mm radiator build to a fully watercooled inwin a1 plus. It's taken me about a 1.5 weeks of modding and tweaking to be able to get to this point! (leak testing and cable managing currently). Thought I'd share a preview..

PS: This is my first ever watercooled build..

Specs: i9 9900k, 2080 Ti, 16gb DDR4, asrock z390 phantom gaming mini itx, corsair SF750, aquacomputer quadro and farbwerk mini

Watercooling hardware: 2x XSPC TX 120, 1x XSPC TX, EK Velocity CPU block, Phanteks GPU block, EK DDC PWM pump, bykski mini DDC tank, primochill tubing and fittings.

Modifications I've made to the case:

1. Made room for mounting 120mm slim rad +15mm fan in side fan slot - this involved removing the fan bracket and drilling holes and using aluminum L-brackets to fashion a fan and radiator mount
2. Drilled holes for 240mm radiator
3. Rewired Qi charger to connect to sata power from SF750
4. Drilled holes for and fashioned a pump bracket from aluminum L-bracket to mount pump to psu bracket.

​

I'll post detailed pics of everything once i'm finally done. Let me know what you guys think...

Dust concerns with a fully passive SF450

My SF450 runs fully passive (intentionally), but I was wondering if I should be concerned about dust buildup.

Noctua fan on C7

I got a C7 from hws with the original fan but have seen some pictures where people have put a noctua 92mm(i think) on the cooler. Has anyone done this, and does it improve the cooling?

In win chopin 3400g build vs Asrock a300 3400g build

I'm planning to build a mini pc that would be mainly used for music production (sample libraries and recording) and very light video editing since I work in film scoring.
I'm hesitant between building an In win chopin mini itx in which I can choose whatever motherboard I want to use and an asrock a300 that has even a smaller form factor.

For me the advantage of the In win build is that whenever I want I can take the mother board, put it in a larger case and use a discrete gpu + the fact that the psu is included in the chassis (no need for an external power brick) vs The versatility of the asrock a300 and how easy it can be upgraded + its smaller form factor

Any insights about this choice ?
