Forget about mini PCs. If you want proper processor and graphics power, a desktop is the only route. But that’s not to say you cannot reduce its footprint.
The ITX form factor offers a favorable balance between power and size, and the Xikii Industry FF04 LP is one such ITX PC case that lets you pack it all in, with a huge caveat in 2026.
You see, this case is from 2024, when it commanded a hefty US$480, and it can accept only one make and model of GPU: the ASUS RTX4060-8G-LP, which I imagine would be hard to find in 2026, hence my statement.
Anyhoo, this case is super sleek and incredibly compact, measuring just 234 mm deep, 200 mm tall, and 118 mm wide. At this size, it will make regular phones look like giant phones. It is pretty light, too, at just 5.8 kilograms, thanks to its aluminum-alloy construction.
Completing the look is an anodizing process for durability. Not that you are going to drag it through some rough places, but it is nice to know it is durable and, equally importantly, looks great.
The case rocks a custom structure that may feel like a proper labyrinth, but it is designed as such for good reasons. Being this small, it is like Singapore—every mm counts, and as such, it has strict dimensional restrictions for components.
The FF04 LP can accommodate a downward-facing CPU air-cooling fan up to 40 mm in height, and it, obviously, can only accept ITX motherboards. And then there’s the memory, which has a height limit of 43 mm.
The case features an independent air duct design to draw in cool air and expel heated air. It further features a custom-length PCIe 3.0 extension cable made by ADT.
It is still available, btw, and on sale for US$369. Still not cheap. Unless you happen to already have the specific GPU, you’d have a hard time finding one. If you need a more modern solution, Xikii has other options, including one designed around very specific ASUS hardware like the ASUS ProArt series 5080 GPU.
