Hi, I am going to be moving around, maybe every couple months or so, and I need to be able use cs6 a lot, i currently have a desktop that is far to large to be taken with me (im not using a car so i only travel with one large 'going on holiday bag', you know), i work with a nice 21 inch monitor that i like and a lovely mini mech keyboard, neither of which i want to give up and don't take up too much room anyway, so heres my question, other than the obvious " :o get a laptop you douchbag......." which i cant afford and don't want to do (desktop&tablet is how i work), what is the absolute smallest package i could put my 700w psu, fx cpu, 8gb ram an ssd into? could it go into a htpc case? i have a small passively cooled gpu which is fine for me. when i am running photoshop or something i will not be running any other programmes, would cooling be too inefficient? I am thinking serious miniaturization here, any help would be seriously appreciated thanks..
 
Depends on the mobo you have and how small we are talking.
Really small, you have to be talking HTPC+mITX/mATX mobo.
 
no that actually looks pretty cool, nice design, though i would rather something a bit flatter (shallow and wide) due to it being easier to pack the cube shape in a bag, do you think this is the smallest i can go?
 
damn, that looks perfect, but would you think heating or anything would be a problem with this? If i bought it and a micro mb, could i just throw my fx 8gb ram and gpu into the mb and then everything into the case and that's it?
