Hey everyone, I'm looking to build a portable, mini-itx, machine. My reasons for this are as follows: Virtualization, light rendering, light gaming. I'm hoping to find one that will house a EVGA gtx 680 classified (because i already own it.) Throw some ideas my way. If you need anymore information just ask :)

Budget? Location? Case preference? Peripherals? OS?

I would recommend a Haswell i5, an Asus mITX board, and a Bitfenix Prodigy

[AMD Athlon 64 Mobile 4000+ Socket 754 | Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro nForce3 | OCZ 2GB DDR PC3200 | Sapphire HD 3850 512MB AGP | 850 Evo | Seasonic 430W | Win XP/10]
