Planning a small form factor build with an RTX 5060 for my living room gaming setup. I need a case that balances thermals with aesthetics and can fit a full-size GPU. I'm concerned about noise and heat in such a compact system. Which mini-ITX cases have proven good for similar builds? Prefer something that doesn't look too "gamer" as it will be visible in my living space.

So jumping in here... honestly if you want that clean living room look without spending a fortune, you really cant go wrong with looking at what Fractal Design is doing. They basically specialize in that "not a gamer" aesthetic and the value is usually pretty good compared to the boutique SFF brands. I mean, just get any of their smaller stuff and you should be fine on the noise front too if you pick the right fans. But wait, before I get ahead of myself, what kind of budget are we actually working with? Also, when you say "full-size" GPU, do you mean like a standard dual-slot card or one of those chunky triple-fan monsters? It makes a huge difference for the internal layout and... well, the price tag. SFF stuff gets pricey fast, so knowing how much you want to spend would definitely help narrow things down.

For a quiet, aesthetically pleasing SFF build with an RTX 5060, consider cases like the SGPC K55 (though full-size GPU compatibility needs checking) or similar options with good airflow.
