It's not the size, it's how you use it.

So yea i love mini itx builds

 

Here is my....... i guess you could call it console killer.... or more like an all in one console media center thingie, or just a Portable Arcade Machine A.K.A PAM 

 

SPECS: 

 i3 4150

 8GB Ram

 GTX 750 ti

 AIO 120mm

 Silverstone 450w

 2x1TB 2.5" HDDs

 1x120GB m.2 SSD

And here is the software i run ( Kodi+BigBox+SteamBig Picture ): 

 

Since this video i have added support for my blue-tooth ps3 remote so the media side of this setup is controlled with a remote rather than a controller, i have also upgraded to windows 10 in preparation for the upcoming Xbox one chat-pad that is being released next week and is officially supported by win 10 OS.

 

Future upgrades for this build may be things like: Stronger CPU maybe an i7 4790 ( emulation loves strong cpus ) and maybe, but most likely not ill get a r9 nano, or most probably ill get an itx 970.... ild say in both cases i will not have enough room for that AIO 120mm rad, ill need to do more research to find out, also i would defiantly need to cut some more ventilation holes in the bottom of the case for those beefier gpus. And yea i will defiantly change out those two 1TB HDDS for a 2TB's or more 2.5" HDD, as space is running out fast.

 

Next is my not so mini, mini itx daily driver that im using while i plan out my next build

 

SPECS:

 i5 4690 with a Corsair h100i

 8GB RAM

 Gigabyte GTX 970 ( non G1 ) with a Kraken G10 braket and a Corsair h75 OC'ed @ stock Volts to + 255 CORE and + 350 Memory 

 2x250GB ssds

 1TB HDD

 

And yea those two rads and all them other bits n bobs all put into a mini itx Bitfenix Phenom that as you can see from the photos i have done some slight modding to the side panel. Oh i also custom matt black wrapped my table, carbon wrapped my side panel, and carbon wrapped the white Kraken G10

 

Not recent photos, but dont think to much has changed: http://imgur.com/a/GW6jI

My 750ti is a real trooper, handles almost anything I toss at it.

The itx 750ti is so good in this case, the fact that it  has so little power draw it actually draws power off the mobo so it cuts down on having more cables.... as you can clearly see i do not have much space for those and the fact it hardly puts out much heat is great for this biuld
