[allmighty_bob]

Hey folx. Last Dreamhack i didn't bring my PC. it was 5 months old, but it was an x99 midi-tower. So it was large, and hard to carry with me. So i played on a craptop the entire LAN. That sucked. So i decided i wanted an M-itx pc. Inspired by linusmediagroup videos
The pc i sold had
5820k
4x4gb ddr4 2133mhz crucial memory
2 gtx 970's.
1 240gb SSD

1 120gb SSD

3+2tb Hdd.
etc...
Here's a picture of it 

 

 

 

I sold it for 15000 NOK (which is about 1900$ USD).

So, i salvaged the 3tb hdd, and one 120gb ssd. and ordered these beauties:

 

Case,             Corsair graphite 380t (black)
PSU,               cooler master g750. bronze

Motherboard, Asus z97i-plus Mitx
RAM.              2x4GB hyperx 2400mhz
CPU,               intel i5 4690k
GPU,              MSI gtx 980ti 6g gaming

storage,          2x240GB ssd's for RAID0

cpu cooler,     fractal design kelvin s24, 240mm AIO cooler

and a strip of fancy red LED's. (not installed yet though)

Things started to arrive:


And then it was time to start building. 

 

 

 

Ahh. cable management in an ITX case. thou art a worty foe.

 

 

Length wise. This gpu should fit. But i forgot to check height clearence. Hoped it would fit .

 

 

 

And so it did

 

 

 

Well. that's my build .. I had to learn how to make a usb-drive into a windows install disk. but it turned out well. Now i can carry it with me anywhere. 

 

 

It ended up costing me 16100 NOK. (2015$ USD). but, i sold used, and bought new. and since i just game, it performs at least as well. 
Color me proud <3

a 3GB HDD is very small, I doubt you can do anything useful with that

I was unaware they didn't. If you think about getting it though. Mine made a weird pump-noise when i ran the fan-header it was connected to at 100%. turning it to 85% allmost removed the noise entirely. hope i don't wreck it because of it though . cpu is running very cool still, so it must still be working.
