Depending on what you consider acceptable gaming resolutions, a handheld like Steam Deck may make more sense. You can build something like this if you need a little more horse power, but that’s more because you wanted to build something as it provides no practical improvements over a gaming laptops. https://youtu.be/ci07KITkhM0?si=JM0eqAB54miBZ28R

That's pretty niche, isn't it? I'm sure we'll get cases that make use of it after a while but right now I can't think of any off-hand. Max CPU cooler height Terra?

it first reminded me of their ghost cooler that sounds like it was more or less specifically made for ghost s1 case https://noctua.at/en/nh-l12-ghost-s1-edition people would sometimes use it for other things i wonder when it makes business sense for noctua to make super specific coolers like this, maybe it's just to keep other manufacturers from threatening noctua's incumbent position

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuCPzmlNTWo This case looks pretty nice, but it seems like they could have made it MicroATX compatible with almost no sacrifice.

Tankakern posted:to answer my own question, it might be possible if you use the usb4 connectors in front instead of the hdmi connectors. that makes it kinda ugly to have in your living room, but maybe that's a small price to pay...

VulgarandStupid posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuCPzmlNTWo Maybe it could've been mATX compatible in the front-mounted PSU configuration with just a little more height, but the GPU compatibility is pretty limiting in that mode. If you want to make it mATX compatible in the side-mounted PSU mode, it would have to be quite a bit deeper (front-to-back). At that point, you may as well just get an Asus AP201. Still, looks like a solid budget ITX option. The fan options don't seem as good as the NR200P, but with midrange parts this doesn't seem to be a serious issue.

Some really interesting things going on in this boutique case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CWqCRFroZ0 It's doing a lot of unique things. the crossflow fan seems to actually work incredibly well for CPU thermals, though the GPU thermals were not-so-good--normal GPUs might work better than FE cards. The thing I like most is the mechanical design though, the way everything slides and locks into place. If only it didn't cost $360.

Anyone have any idea where I can get a case similar to the Inwin Chopin in the US? I bought a cheaper version, still from Inwin, a few years back but I forgot what the model was called. Also it looks like the Gamemax Violin is hard to get in the US right now. I have an extra itx board and processor around, but I don't want to spend a lot.

After a bit of searching I was able to find the model number. It’s an Inwin BQ656. I found one on eBay that even comes with an old Pentium board, for $35. Not too bad. Hopefully the PSU still works.
