I thought about the same thing, to make a durable ad portable system. My one shared idea is to keep the system SEALED from the outside - It's easy to build the system such that all ports are accessible at the top surface and ventlation is sufficient, once the case is open. Breaking the seal and...

I have an MSI X99A Godlike, fresh from RMA with all the goodies and the original box. [FS] - MSI X99a Godlike (NIB from RMA)

Howdy, folks of the [H]! Customer stuck me with an ultimatum - They had a problem with their original Godlike board, and we sent it back RMA. They were inexplicably unhappy with the process, and demanded we order a *new* motherboard, at our cost, or they would return the ENTIRE FUCKING SYSTEM...

I might have an i7 floating around, g2/2710qe I think. Lowest end i7 with DDR3-1600 support :) Let me get back to ya.

Why not just have a custom CNC milled replacement slot cover - 3 slots wide, 3 ports on each slot, with a single fold for mounting just as those single-slot covers do?

I could let my Atom SBC go for that price. It needs a heatsink - I can't sell the proto case it's in, but I can throw in the Molex power adapter. MIO-2261 Like new, in OEM clamshell.

SN970 / EN970 would be my recommendation - Save some money. You don't seem to require as much performance as those VERY expensive units deliver. But, with that budget, save up for the Zotac 10-series, being released soon. ZOTAC's new Mini PC feature GeForce GTX 10 series GPUs

Actually, just flinging kevlar (or even biodegradable) string at them will take them down. I don't see why people need complex solutions when simple ones will suffice.

X99 can do ~20GB/sec bandwidth with good DDR4 dual-channel, going by my recent Memtestx86+ testing mishap. 1 DIMM DDR4-3333 17500MB/s 2 DIMM DDR4-3333 19500MB/s 3 DIMM DDR4-3333 21000MB/s 4 DIMM DDR4-3333 22500MB/s

Track Drew That's with the battery pack, which is ~12v 12A capable for some number of hours - It's a beefy pack with a beefy charger. But I don't disagree - I'm eyeballing the $500 price point for the unit without the battery.

Ocellaris It's possible, but many Kickstarters have gone through without a hitch. I don't let a few bad eggs spoil it for the masses.

I'm not affiliated with or selling this KS, but I might support it. Might be VERY fun as a chiller, these micro rotary units are very effective - I don't know what model it's using, but it does say it's a scroll compressor with R134a and 150W rated. It also runs on 12V.

No prob, I'll likely post about it :) I have an aluminum waterblock from an MXM rig, I have been considering going that direction as well. Just for fun :) I think (but have not measured) the processor heatsink mount is also standard square for the socket... I could almost go with one BIG fan...

I only purchased my SN970 for it's fully socketed build - I've swapped out the i5-6400T for an i7-6700T, swapped out the memory for 8GB of PC3L-2133 and slapped some AS5 on the 970m (GTX960 lol) , but I may upgrade it further if I can get my hands on a 980M (not N 980) or an N 1070, sometime...

Ah dang it, I just got situated and upgraded my SN970!
