Yellow, big brain PC users ๐Ÿ––

I'm traveling and moving a lot for quite a while now, and getting a rig was never part of my plan

But recently I realized I can get a mini-itx and bring it anywhere I want

Looking for your advices and build configurations

I want it to be like top, but without it just be overpriced. I don't care for LEDs, as small and as powerful as possible, high-mini-atx-end ๐Ÿ˜„

Thank yowoou

My rig inside my sturdy ncase M1 has been serving me well for 5 years. It features a full size GPU (gotta precisely check the size) and water cooling. Also two 2,5 inch drives SSD/ HDD and an M2 stick. 16 GB RAM Intel i5 on an Asus MB. Also it has 2 big and one small fan. Never had any overheating issues.

It fits into a large backpack. Also goes well in a suitcase. Going by car, PC, monitor plus peripherals fit into a collapsible crate.

Tbh it has not traveled as much, since even though it is portable, itโ€™s annoying to unplug everything. It sits on my desk, which is nice for removing the cables. Also for height-adjustable desks.

I replied to another comment keeping yours in mind ๐Ÿ˜

Full size GPU is a probably a little bit too much for me ๐Ÿ˜” I was actually able to find one a4h2o in my area, but this is pretty massive for what I want, it's like a full size PC I want something more compact, so I will never have to think that I need to sell it because of moving to another country or changing lifestyle

I still can't believe you can fit that in your backpack, I suppose m1 has around the same form factor as A4H2O, and on their website they compare it to a ps5, and that it's smaller

Maybe I should still consider full size GPUs then

I just watched videos about the big cases, they look not that big. It's just on photos they all look like a full size PCs
