Title: Mini-itx gaming box?
Post by: bj229r on October 06, 2014, 02:37:27 PM
Anybody ever built one of these? My Dell xps died, and I really don't want to deal with another gaming laptop, used or new.

This thing looks like it could fit the bill, for far less than a laptop (just need a case to carry it in) I'm leaning toward the "cube" plan, as standard power supplies fit in those.

Oh I know...just saw that link minutes before I saw this post. Seems you can pretty much put any components into the mini itx boxes...just very pressed for extra space.
