I have an existing mini-itx pc, with sfx PSU. I'm looking to build a home storage system, to manage my wife's photos and our films (some light gaming too).
Space is an issue where we are, with living in a flat, what are good nsa mini-itx cases, that support ssds, with support for gpus?
I am not a fan of patch cables within the case, for psu. So, if that could be avoid would be a great bonus.
Thanks in advance.

For a compact mini-ITX NAS build with GPU support and space for SSDs, especially where space is limited, here are some good case options that might suit your needs:
Fractal Design Node 202
Slim, compact, supports full-length GPUs.
Has space for 2x 2.5” SSDs inside.
Uses SFX PSU, fits well with your existing PSU.
Very clean internal layout, so you can avoid messy patch cables.
SilverStone SUGO 14
Mini-ITX, supports GPUs up to ~13.5 inches.
Good storage options: can fit multiple SSDs and even a 3.5” drive.
Designed for compact builds with good airflow.
Supports SFX PSU, cable management is pretty good to minimize clutter.
Cooler Master NR200P
Popular compact case with excellent airflow.
Supports GPUs up to 330mm.
Multiple SSD mounts and good cable management features.
Can fit SFX PSU with modular cables to reduce internal cabling.
All three cases support your SFX PSU and allow for GPU installation without needing patch cables inside. Modular power supplies also help keep cables tidy. For photo and film storage with light gaming, these will be solid choices.
If avoiding internal cable clutter is a big priority, modular SFX PSUs combined with these cases will help a lot.
