Mini ITX Build to Bring On a Plane (Gaming)

TLDR: I need a small mini ITX Pc that I can bring on a plane

 

So recently I've been looking into building a secondary Mini Portable PC that I could take around with me on a plane or something. I immediately fell in love with the Thermaltake Core P1 and was ready to paint my GPU and RAM to create an awesome looking build! Sadly I realise d that an open case was not the best idea to bring on a plane. (Duh) So I scrapped my idea, so that's where I am nowNg

 

Budget

  • Strictly under 700 US

 Location

  • U.S, New York

 

Use

  • Gaming (Overwatch 1080p 60hz Ultra/Epic settings preferably)

 

Peripherals Needed

  • None

Operating System Required

  • Windows 10

 

Overclocking 

  • Probably not

Form Factor

  • A small mini ITX build (ik mini ITX is small but some mITX cases are much larger than others.)

Other

  • I will hopefully be giving whatever case I use a custom paint job.

 

P.S This will be my second build so I am not a huge beginner.

You don't mean like, to USE on a plane right, just small enough to bring in a carry-on or something?

To use or to bring on the plane? You are going to have to get pretty creative if its the first one

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Why even bring a computer with you in a plane? :|

Becausv some times I stay places for months and in other countries and I need it so be portable. Also it's cool to have a tiny PC you can carry around with you.

Get a laptop. 

 

If you want a desktop then you are going to need to carry a screen as well and I'm also not sure if the outlets will let you draw enough for anything decent tbh
