Our "shoebox" PC from last year has been outdone... This PC is not only SMALLER, but it's more powerful too!

YES!!! I love build videos!

Been waiting for this far too long...

Very impressive, but just to nitpick, you'd get an ultimate-er gaming PC by getting a CPU with fewer, higher clocked cores.

What's the total cost of this small beast?

bigger than its size :-D

That's a pretty sweet case.  Still like my SLI though.

[sheep_knight]

What are the LED Stripes that they used for this build ?

I'd say it's about 7 or 8 grand or something like that, given the fact that the CPU is already about $4500

Why not place in a quadro p6000

 

he could have gotten 64gb ram in desktop form, though dual channel and not quad channel with 2x 32gb ddr4 kingston ram

[mykaDragonBlue]

yeah... thats pretty much my ideal PC with current tech.

So in the video it says the most powerful GPU available, was this filmed before Titan XP was sent out?

Obviously.

[Alexford]

I'd love to build something like this! Though a more realistic and affordable version. Shame the case doesn't seem to be available.

[krevan88]

I love build videos. Thanks guys!

Did you do any testing on how loud it was? I am extremely interested in building a small pc in the future, but I am a little bit worried about how loud the fans will run in such a environment.

[Constantine]

What? No Benchmarks or anything?

It costs more (in cash) than you could fit inside of it if they were all 1 dollar bills.

[Yota_Ninja]

Too lazy at the moment to do the math on this build, but it would be cool to include a pcpartpicker log to showcase the amount it costs to do something crazy like this.

[Monkey Dust]

Very cool little case, though if you were doing the build yourself you'd have to be out of your tiny little mind not to use an LGA 155x CPU.

 

Shame you're restricted to a reference cooler though. The hot air from an open air cooler really looks like it would have nowhere to go. Kinda makes it a tough sell over the NCase M1, even if it is smaller.

Thats true, only the case is 230 €. My guess about 250 usd...

Yes, this was shot 2 weeks ago. We received our Titan XP last Tuesday
