small-form factor Small formfactor builds - advice needed

[IncrediblePony]

Hi LTT Forums

 

I have for a while dreamed of building a small form factor build that would fit in a backpack (roughly the size of a XBox One X or PS4 - preferably smaller). And it should pack a punch. I have had my eye on the Dan Cases AFX-v4 for a while. But I have never seen one in real life or worked with it physically I was wondering if anyone else had and can share their experiences with both long time use and possible badass builds. Other case suggestions that can fit a full system with GPU's the size of RTX 2070 or higher will be appreciated also

If you're going for the Dancase, it's quite a challenge for a first time SFF builder. Also you'll note that most promotional pics and such have a founders edition graphics card and that's because blower models are pretty handy for small, restricted cases like these, as the CPU won't have to worry about hot air coming off the GPU. With the Sugo it's much less of a concern, with an intake fan as well as a lot more room to leave cables.

I'm aware that SFF are difficult, but I think the Sugo is too big to fit in my backpack. But I can't tell from the images though

It's shoebox sized, a little smaller actually. Do you have a small backpack?
