Small possible case

[umboma]

Hello all,

With the job I spend a lot of time in hotels I was thinking about buying a gaming laptop to play my games then I thought I'd just put my desktop into a smaller case and take that with me, so with that in mind whys going to be the smallest case that'll fit a 680 gpu??

Which 680 do you have? According to the Nvidia site, the reference model is 10", which will just fit in the FT03 Mini.

If you go M-ITX you will, is your current board full ATX? Also neither of those cases will support the MSI 680 as it's 280mm/11".

I'd have thought this would be the smallest option.

Specs list it as fitting gpu's upto 12.2" in length, has a PSU big enough to drive it, and a good bit of space for a decent sized CPU cooler.

I'd be tempted to suggest going for the Bitfenix Prodigy, despite the extra size - just because it looks like those handles would be handy if you're moving it around a lot.

ETA: Lian Li PC-TU200B also looks good
