If you want a good mini-ITX case, just buy a Node 202. You can use it horizontally and put your monitor on top of it.

Buy power-efficient components and load it with the thickest and biggest Noctua PWM fans possible, and set the fan curves low, and its basically totally silent.

I have a Node 202, and I wouldn't put a monitor that weighs more than 10 pounds on it.

In horizontal mode you have a choice of obstructing the CPU or the GPU vent. It comes with feet, but they're not very tall.

I have a node 202 with water cooling that I built specifically to run Half Life Alyx at max specs while traveling for work. Fits in a larger ebags backpack very nicely with all the Valve Index kit. Now that I beat HL:A and am not traveling for work it sits under my TV and is pretty much a dedicated Satisfactory machine via steam controller.

Tangent—Coming out of hours of fantastical sci fi VR escapism into a nondescript hotel room in <industrial center, USA> is a very surreal and memorable feeling.

I second this. I use a Node 202 case for my firewall box.
