With AMDs new fiji lineup, they talk about form factor. Do you actually own, or plan to own a small form factor case. Or smaller than normal.

EDIT:

 

 

If you plan to build one, just put "Yes" . I know its confusing, but I have the attention span of a 4 year old.

Poorly worded strawpoll is poorly worded. 

I am planning to make an ITX rig but I do not have one yet.

System CPU : Ryzen 9 5950 doing whatever PBO lets it. Motherboard : Asus B550 Wifi II RAM 80GB 3600 CL 18 2x 32GB 2x 8GB GPUs Vega 56 & Tesla M40 Corsair 4000D Storage: many and varied small (512GB-1TB) SSD + 5TB WD Green PSU 1000W EVGA GOLD

 

You can trust me, I'm from the Internet.

it takes people right to the results without the option to vote.

Because you see the results ( /r )

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

"Like" comments to show your support of them or the idea they express.

yeah, I know. It makes sense to me but like most things it makes no-sense to anyone else.

I plan on doing an ITX rig that I would take to friends houses and stuff. I heard they're pretty fun to do.

SFF for the HTPC and full ATX for the main gaming rig. 

 

I switched a few months ago from an SFF gaming rig (node 304) to full ATX (s340) because I wanted better cooling and more future options. (plus I wanted a nice big side window to stare at all the components :P )

I plan on my next computer being ITX in a Silverstone FT03 Mini, I know it's a 3+ year old case, but I keep coming back to it, because I just love the look of it. I also plan on doing an ITX media server/HTPC in probably something like the Fractal Design Node 304. I'm quite honestly sick of having a full size ATX computer on my desk, takes up too much room and with hardware becoming more efficient and smaller, I am loving the idea of small form factor PC's

Case: Ncase M1 V5 Black CPU: Intel Core i5 12600 MB: AORUS Z690i RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX DDR4 SSD: WD SN770 500GB | WD SN750 250GB

Cooler: Noctua NH-L9x65 GPU: EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra 8GB PSU: Corsair SF600 80+ Platinum Fans: Noctua NF-F12x 2 | Noctua NF-A9x14

I hear ya, my mate did a build in one. I think he ended up spending close to (or more than) $2k AUD in the end..

I use an In Win BM650 so it's a bit hard to try to fit a Fury X in there :P

I have a cheap ass case on the way to throw my old parts in to hook up to the TV downstairs, but I'm using a 9590, and of course there are no ITX AM3+ Mobos around, so I'll have to swap it out sometime as my plan was to do a little 250D or 380T build.

CPU: Intel 5930k cooled by H110i GT Mobo: MSI X99S XPower AC RAM: 32GB Dominator Platinum 2800mhz GPU: 2x MSi Lightning 290x SSD: 512GB 850 Pro HDD: 4&2TB WD Black PSU: Corsair AX1500i Case: Corsair 900D Monitor: 3xVG248QE  Keyboard: Logitech G910 Orion Spark  Mouse: Logitech G700s  Headset: Astro A50

I like chocolate milk.

Yeah, that part sucks. I'm in a similar situation. I thought I could start a fund by just selling a bunch of stuff I didn't need on eBay, then I realised I needed to spend that money on things I require like clothes and pay bills, so that worked out well :P

I have an Asrock M8 I just recently built which is small and portable (it even has handles) and I have an ultra small form factor gigabyte brix. Small PC's are the way to go. I hate moving my full tower but the other two are super easy.
