UPgrading by DOWNsizing

Thinking of moving my build  http://pcpartpicker.com/list/cXHr7h   into a more portable case   http://pcpartpicker.com/list/VL4rjX   Thoughts? I need wifi and a carry handle, other than that, not really any other requirements

I recently shrunk my PC into a Mini-ITX case and then said fuck it and went all the way up to EATX. Also I LOVE THE 380T, I built in it almost two years ago, looks amazing.

 

 

Fun fact, I've been using that same bottle of alcohol for like three years to clean PC components.

hot damn, how does it handle dust?

I've just gone mITX on my second rig. 

went from a source 210 to a silverstone SG13, since I wanted it to be more portable and not take up so much damn space in my room.

Hopefully getting my case and PSU on friday, and can't wait to see just how small the SG13 really is

Pretty well, it's essentially covered in dust filters, however like any other PC you'll want to clean it every now and then.

yeah those side panels looked pretty "dust resistant", also where can you mount the 120mm fans on the side? like in the middle? closer to the front or back?

my current case isnt really that big but i really need a carry handle for the portability and also this motherboard would be way better than my current one

iirc you can mount two on the side opposite of the GPU.

my case is pretty big lol, I'm using a 4U server chassis.

I'd say the LianLi TU200 would be the best bet. The 380t is kind of....big. At least from a portability aspect.

They also make a smaller TU100 but you'd have to use a Mini graphics card (GTX 970, Fury Nano).

Actually, the TU100 with a Fury Nano would be super bad ass.

i looked into the tu200 but i really need more than 1 fan haha and i want to re use my current psu which would be impossible in those cases
