    Advice Thin Itx Laptop

    There are motherboards with 90* pcie slots. Might want to look into those. Some people have built "laptops" with them.

    Advice A SFF PC built in a flight case?

    I was exploring this option with the hard plastic pelican cases for many months. I looked at flight cases too (and tool boxes), but I liked the aesthetics of the black plastic over the other options.

    Newegg CHUWI LarkBox Pro

    https://www.newegg.com/p/2SW-003Z-00006?Item=9SIBFJJJ6H2581 Larkbox is $70 off on Newegg right now I've lost a lot of faith in Newegg recently. My last two orders have been total flops. Defective parts, wrong items, bad customer service etc. I know Gamers Nexus had similar experiences this...

    Prototype k_ses: 2,5 slot cards up to 179/197mm @ 3,93L/4,32L (brickless / HDPLEX 250W GaN)

    Nicely done! Looks really good. GaN are still too pricey for the wattage you're getting imo.

    Completed DIY "laptop" / portable PC (5.4 litres, 17'' screen)

    That's pretty much what I'm using now. My 5L case sits at the corner of my desk right behind a massive 2k 27" acer monitor. It's a very compact setup and it works very well in my small house. BUT... it's all about going smaller. When you say "why 15.6''. Feels really small".. well, just...

    Completed DIY "laptop" / portable PC (5.4 litres, 17'' screen)

    I'd need a 15.4" or smaller panel. Probably smaller. My latest case design is ~4L and ~390mm from corner to corner, so 15.4 would be just about perfect. Ideally it would just mount to the side of the case somehow so I wouldn't have to design a shell for it. Like I said, it's going to take...

    Completed DIY "laptop" / portable PC (5.4 litres, 17'' screen)

    I've had something similar to this on the drawing board for months. I was going to go for a S4M style case with a monitor built into one side of it. Ideally the case would have a set of legs to keep it upright, and the monitor would have some tilt. Final build will be all-in-one gaming tower...

    Check Caseend or PCPartpicker to see your options. Use newegg's power supply calculator to get a rough estimate of how much wattage you'll need. Have fun!

    Log Finally found a case/SKTC A09 3.8L for my Mini-ITX APU-Builds/no graphics card!

    He’s right, make sure you get what’s right for your system. I did, and it has worked great for me.

    Make sure you aren’t over tightening your cooler and flexing the mobo. That also causes post failures.
