Horizontal/Small Form Factor PC Case

[Mew]

So I'm probably going to take out a student loan for $4k to buy a Laptop and upgrade my PC.

I currently only need an SSD and a new case, my current specs are

i7-5820k at 3.30ghz

GTX 1070

16gb DDR4 2444mhz

1.5tb HDD (going on to be 7 years old baybeeee)

 

I don't really want a Micro-ATX case but I'm not opposed to the idea of a horizontal case like the Cryorig Taku (as shown on Linus's video)

I currently the Cooler Master HAF X (it's really not worth the price).

Does anybody have any suggestions? The Cryorig Taku is $300 and the issues seem to be pretty big but it would really help me save space on my desk!

 

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Don't take a out $4k loan on a perfectly fine PC....

If you want your system to completely starve of air..

 

If you want to downsize and still have your components breath, go for an itx case with good ventilation/cooling options.

Lol it's for a Laptop (probably around $2.5k), to upgrade my PC (very little needs upgrading) and possibly get a new phone since mine is dead

Anybody have any suggestions?
