    Is Node 202 the ideal gaming case in your carry on?

    The Node 202 isn't bad, however, if you are willing to go w/ a mini-ITX sized graphics card (basically a few GTX 970 options - the Fury Nano fits physically, but spikes available power supplies), you have two other options right now: the NFC S4 Mini, which is $150 and 330mm x 215mm x 63mm...

    Msi Vortex Gaming Tower

    pcper posted some info as well. They mention $3800 for the dual-980 system in the video. Pricy, but probably the most powerful 6.5L gaming system on the planet right now.

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    Just saw that my case is in transit - went out from Gulfport, MS yesterday and is in Memphis, TN right now. Exciting! (Sadly, I'll be out of the country until mid-January. But my plan is to be hooking up a higher wattage setup w/ a HDPLEX both w/ an AC HP Firebird 350W power supply and a 22V...

    MSI Nightblade M1 *GPU above motherboard*

    I missed seeing this back in June. In any case, was wandering around Guang Hua Digital Plaza in Taipei today and spotted it. It's pretty compact in person, I'm was pretty impressed. Across the way in the new Syntrend mall there was an official MSI store with it sitting next to the regular...

    Pelican Case Gaming Rig

    Hey, just thought I'd post a build update. Total cost was about $1750. Here's the full parts list. Basic assembly was pretty straightforward, and it pretty much fit as the CAD models suggested, so that was great. For mounting, I ended up just cutting/folding some strips of the anti-static...

    Pelican Case Gaming Rig

    Ah, thanks for those pointers Aibohphobia, pretty interesting reading. I think my build will end up being a fair bit smaller than those listed. The case for the fnordcorps build isn't too much bigger than mine (a couple extra inches in each dimension), but it doesn't have space to hold the DK2...

    Pelican Case Gaming Rig

    The black box represents the DK2. When the system is on, it'd be removed, leaving an unobstructed air path. The way I was looking at ventilation is that the GPU and PS exhaust into the left channel (where the DK2 is in that model), w/ the CPU cooling radiator on the very bottom and 120mm fan...

    Pelican Case Gaming Rig

    Hey guys, so it turns out that the Brix Gaming I had (i5-4200H/GK104M) wasn't really cutting it for my carryon-friendly portable computing needs, which is a shame, because at <2kg and <2L w/ the external PS, it was damn small. I've started assembling a new system in a Pelican 1430 top loader...

    Are there any NUC style PCs with dual NICs?

    I thought Newegg carries them, but they have the dual HDMI version, not the dual NIC version. Just drop Jetway a line and I bet you can just buy one directly from them.

    ASUS GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU Mini

    Yep, I'm definitely interested in hearing about the Asus 970 DirectCU Mini's noise - especially if there's any coil whine as I'm planning on building a custom/semi-open case. The other card I'm looking into (and trying to figure out noise on is the Galax GTX 970 OC, which will fit, is cheaper...

    Are there any NUC style PCs with dual NICs?

    I'd check out the Jetway JBC320U93: http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/JBC320U93.html CPU is a bit weaker, although probably good enough for Gb routing (Bay Trail N2930 4Q 1.83GHz 7.5W) and has 2 x Intel 82583V Gigabit Ethernet. Very reasonably priced (~$200), and passively cooled.

    ASUS GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU Mini

    In case you guys missed it, CoolChip was showing off their latest at CES. From the looks of it, they have a 60W TDP (1U targeted) part that seems pretty ready to go, and a rougher prototype of a chunkier 95W TDP part w/ additional surface area/heat pipes for the consumer market. It looks like...

    GB-BXi5G-760 - Gigabyte Brix Gaming w/ Nvidia "GeForce 760"

    I got real curious from Linus' testing about the throttling. I was only looking at power load when I first tested (steady 150W+ measured w/ a Watts Up Pro) b/c nvidia-settings in Linux doesn't have a pretty chart on clock, but I got interested enough to script a little logger (I'll check that...

    GB-BXi5G-760 - Gigabyte Brix Gaming w/ Nvidia "GeForce 760"

    As I mentioned, I'm running Linux only atm so not sure how applicable the limited benchmarks I've run are. The numbers I got are low, but I'm not exactly sure what desktop 760 numbers on Linux look like. As it's running at the exact specs (and full TDP) of an 870M, I'm assuming for Windows...

    GB-BXi5G-760 - Gigabyte Brix Gaming w/ Nvidia "GeForce 760"

    Oh, I have some pics. Here's one comparing it to the smallest BRIX (that's a 1037u) one: And here's an assembly shot: Well, pretty much certainly a 870M - the lspci result is what the board itself reports. Also all the specs match - tdp, ram, cores, memory width, boost clock...
