1080p 144hz LAN party build

TomR

Lately my friends and I have been having "LAN parties" (even though we're actually all playing on the internet, and not LAN) and it's been a lot of fun. It's a nice throwback to get the boys together in one room with a few cold ones and play PUBG or other games.

 

I currently have a 7700k cooled by a 140mm AIO, ASUS Dual Series GTX 1070, 16GB TridentZ 3200mhz, in a S340 Elite. It's an all white build and overall I'm very happy with it, but it's annoying carrying around such a big computer to the LAN parties.

 

so I'm looking to keep all of my components (except the case and motherboard obviously) and also keep my aethestically pleasing white theme while downsizing to something easy to carry around. I would prefer to utilize my current 140mm AIO, but i wouldn't be against switching to air cooling. I'm really just looking for suggestions on cases.

 

any suggestions are appreciated

I personally wouldn't put a AIO in a LAN PC since your travelling, you never know what can happen.

I've been moving around my current S340 Elite with AIO just fine. With everything securely bolted to the chassis nothing is moving around, the chances of a leak are slim to none.

No problem, if you have a modular psu already, then that will do for the case, it can use a ATX PSU.

Agreed! Hope that side panel doesnt choke the GPU though
