ULTIMATE Intel Compact SLI Gaming PC Computer "How To" Build Guide

This ultimate build guide focuses on size. We wanted to make a truly deadly gaming weapon that was small enough to carry around with one hand. I think given the dual GTX 780 Ti SLI nature of this beast, it's safe to say "mission accomplished"!

 


 

I'm going to list out the components as well as provide a source or two for where you can get them :)

 

I can't tell you where to buy this stuff, but I do lean towards NCIX for the Canadians (and International viewers if their pricing and shipping costs work out for you) because they're my bros, and for Americans, Brits, and a couple other regions, the Amazon links below are affiliate links, so of course every little bit helps :)
