Hi /g/

Thinking about building a mini-ITX gaming rig.

Case will be Corsair Graphite 380T Mini-ITX (pic).

Parts I've picked so far:

SSDs and monitor I already have.

My plan fully switch over to Linux and run windows for gaming in a VM.

Any thoughts/suggestions is appreciated.

I have that case and it's awesome, but it's not really small at all.

Cool, did you have any difficulty building your rig with it?

It's smaller than the one I have now and far more portable, which is why I want it.

Very easy to build in. I also move it from my desk to the TV in the living room often. Awesome case.

One more thing, my 980ti does run a bit hotter in this case than my old full tower but not so much that I worry about it or anything. I have the MSI that you have picked out.

Alright, thanks man.

Shouldn't be an issue as long as it doesn't make to much noise.

>far more portable
just because it has a handle doesn't mean it's easy to carry around
You could just buy any handle from any furniture store and screw it to a normal ITX case and it would look way less retarded than that corsair aberration

Cheaper and much better form factor for a Mini ITX case here. Barely bigger than a PS4, and no external power brick at all.

Get your Corsair shit out of here.

Far more portable but still not portable.
Get a Node 202 which can fit in a backpack.

I have a mini-atx board with silverstone rvz01 "raven". It's godawful to build in and not portable at all. Heres the rub: I have multiple gaymin monitors at 120fps. How the fuck am I going to take those anywhere, huh? And my keyboard and mouse? This thing never ever travels. If I want to go somewhere with a computer I take a fuckin gaymin laptop

I have a quality setup mate, with 3 monitors, 2 new gaymin, one older IPS, A gaymin laptop is far better for portability.

$300 cheaper
Much more compact and portable (it'll fit in a backpack with room to spare for your mouse, keyboard, headset, and possibly even the monitor depending on how big it is.)
It'll still have a bit of thermal headroom for a modest overclock, as well, not that you should need to with a 980Ti.

Make sure you get a reference video card if you pick this case, because the GPU compartment has no extra room to spare for flared out heatpipes and fanblades that might clip against the floor of the case.

Hmm. Doesn't look too bad, might look into that.

>>51097619
Doesn't really look it will fit all the components, especially the cooler for the CPU. But I'll look into some more.

>>51097636
>>51097743
For my needs, it's more that should be easy to move in a bag/suitcase to another friends house or LAN.

>>51097773
For my part, it also needs to be quiet as possible and be able to run VMs smootly. Money is not really an issue.

Keep it coming guys. I'd like to get some more experiences with regards to building a mini ITX gaymin station.

Recs?

NVIDIA Titan X (gifted to me, has to stay)
Silverstone ML08 Mini-ITX case (identical internal layout to Silverstone Raven RVZ02)
Intel i5-4690k cpu
Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet fan
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI lga1150 Mini-ITX mobo
Kingston HyperX Fury 1x8gb ddr3-1866 ram
Samsung 850-evo500gb SSD
no HDD
Silverstone 600w 80+gold modular SFX psu

Is the ram okay? Any other viable mobo options?
Also, what would be a good storage option for this build? I'm thinking about either having two sets of 2tb external hdd's, or building a nas (i can scrap cheap parts from my company, i would only have to buy the storage and the case)
