Portable desktop case advice


Recommended Posts

Hello, I,m planning on building a portable desktop computer, (Intel six core, 24G ram), and I,m wondering if any one knows which type of case do I need to fit everything in it, by having my monitors one at home an the other two at the office.

Thank you!

Hi, don't know exactly if it fits your needs, but maybe something like this:

http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prodigy-m

They all are pretty compact, silent, good looking, and with nice cooling potential.

If u are interested - there are a lot of reviews on each of them.

Shuttle XPC boxes are designed for gamers to carry round to their geeky friends house for a spot of zombie blasting and world domination, but are equally portable for arch-vis peeps. Portable being a loose term. You can shoehorn a 6 core in there, I have i7 3930's in 6 of them locked in a running battle against my AC.

You can have 2 suspended computers - then all you would have to carry would be the motherboard and a storage device.

(the ribbon cables and the floppy drive would suggest this is an older pic but the concept still holds and it would make a great conversation piece)

 

Zdravco - you said your language was perfectly phonetic but there's a big Z in front of a d in your name.

If you don't want to buy a (expensive) shuttle barebone with some proprietary mainboard for this few centimeters less you could look for something like this http://www.cooltek.de/en/cubes/coolcube-maxi/13/coolcube-maxi?c=107

I think you need at least 24x24cm for the board, because the smallest s2011 mainboards are normal microATX (ASRock X79 Extreme4-M, ASUS Rampage IV Gene)

In the back of my mind is a nagging feeling that bigger is cooler. I only have full tower machines. A micro case is not really THAT big and you

could put it in a sturdy piece of rolling luggage to make transportation easier. .............and you'll keep those biceps in shape.

 

Z - interesting music tastes - Colic and Napalm Death.

Thats true, maybe its better to focus on making some cotton coffe bag or whatever for east transporting, and switching cables off/on, to make it more easy. PC case is not so weight, when you have proper lifting and carying.

If you all PC parts, into smaller case, you will have 90-95% of regular weight.

yeah, perhaps I listen all the music done by heart, by NP is just for memories on youth.

My favorite ones, especiall for working hours.

Thank's Zdravko, Yes the idea is to take the computer home only the most bussy days, I already have a laptop but I dont have the performance of my current computer.

 

dude, i find this very strange

 

why don't you stay at work and finish your stuff and get paid

 

no need to take it home

 

what do you do at work and what do you do at home
