Is it just me or are m-itx computers awesome

[You Scrub....The Floor]

I love mini-itx builds and especially when it is in a bitfenix prodigy. I LOVE THIS CASE.

and i think small computers are awesome they can do more than you think.

[Juganog]

I just think it's amazing how much hardware you can cram into such a small space, that is why i always love those Console PC builds

[Imabigmac]

I'm more of a fan of M-ATX

[The Crazed Child]

I prefer the Prodigy M personally.

[Shroomster]

They are too small. Full-towers go faster

I will be building a new PC sometime soon. Thinking about mITX or mATX.

[Mistersprinkles]

ITX is great and all but what if I want more than 16GB of RAM? What if I want 2 GPUs and a soundcard? ITX is too limiting. Cute, yes. Practical, no.

[melias24]

I prefer ATX, but would like to do a build in a Prodigey M, as a spare PC for when friend's come over, instead of them having to use a crappy dell.

[daemonowner]

I like the idea of small portable PCs, though I personally prefer full towers from Phanteks. Will probably built an mITX system for my brother when he wants to upgrade. =]

It's perfect for if you don't need all that stuff (which most users won't (yes even custom PC builders)), but you want something portable yet still powerful.

I'd argue an ITX PC is more practical than a full tower.

[NeatSquidYT]

I like consoles converted to pcs, those are pretty cool. I want to do one one day, but I don't have a spare console laying around. If my PS3 or ps4 breaks, then I might do one.

[You Scrub....The Floor]

You have to remember that some people don't need GPUs I'm SLI or soundcards or even 1 million dollar motherboards. I like the style and the performance is really good if u do it right

[Ryukrieger]

I find them awesome, too. Personally, I wouldn't need anything like SLI/Crossfire or soundcards, I've always preferred one good GPU, I've been researching on computer parts for ages and I still have not find a reason to need anything more than an mITX can offer, course more RAM will be the ultimate answer, but I'll leave that to when I need to do professional computing works that need more than 16GBs of RAM, which is of course, I've deemed unnecessary for the time being.
Also, I've heard about DDR4 with 16GB/stick capacity, anyone remembers? Or is it just my mind playing tricks on me? Because if that's the case, the future of mITX is still going strong.

[RevyOcelot]

After building my system, I could help think of how much more compact everything could be in m-itx or micro atx. Definitely going to consider them in the when building a new system in the future.

[GhostWindGamer]

I have a mITX system and I absolutely adore it

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

You are one of the few people that actually use parenthesis inside of parenthesis correctly, congrats!,

[DigitalHermit]

I'm afraid that an SFF might not survive a hot summer here in the Philippines...

 

(we have three seasons: hot summer, wet summer, and cold summer)

[ShadowCaptain]

The prodigy is a pants ITX case, great MATX case

No point putting a tiny motherboard in a massive case IMO

[Siddhesh]

Even I like ITX builds, but I would never build it for myself. There is no expansion in those.

[SeriouslyMikey]

I prefer M-ATX, just in case I ever wanted to build a small form factor rig, but with two cards. Or a card an another expansion card.

Compliments on my grammar or my music taste are the best kind of compliments

[HippY]

I am looking for a portable powerhouse at reasonable price, and an mITX is a better alternative for a laptop*

 

*if you go somewhere where there is a monitor

 

I am at college, and the computers here are horrible, so does the peripherals, so I am going to get an mITX build so I can use my own PC 

 

And honestly, if you would need more than 2 GPUs then you are running multi monitor setup (or 1 4k) and then you must make a compromise

But if you do not need THAT serious GPUs or you are not running shitloads of VM, 16 GB is plenty and even 1 GPU is loads for single monitor gaming

(unless 4K but as an early adopter you must suffer the consenquences, but the likes of 290x can run them well in medium settings if I recall well)

[JoaoPRSousa]

I love mine

mATX for the win!

 

 

Although for a small steambox HTPC I would be very tempted to go mITX.

the prodigy m has wierd airflow not sure how to explain

the coolind isn't as good as it's itx counterpart

that's why you go M-ATX.....DAT CARBIDE AIR 240 THO!!!!
