funny thing though, that’s considered a “lower profile” cooler. Tower coolers are 50% taller and just as wide.

I don't think I've ever go Micro-ATX case/setup.. Just not my thing. I don't have a space issue...

If you're talking about Br3tts post that's a mini itx.
I have an unhealthy obsession with wanting to build a small pc. I like the idea of being able to pick it up and move it where ever I want and have a powerful machine.

Yeah wall mount is cool but not ideal lol
I already did the Node 202. That was hugely constraining but ultimately I really appreciate the fact that the computer is so small on the desktop.
The next build for sure will be an ITX build and be less than 15L in volume. There's no wasted space.

the addiction to sff is real
all the time, i went air cooler over the aio i had so i can take this tiny pc with me on work trips........staying in hotels for weeks at a time is boring and if i can bring my gaming rig along why notHow often do you really need to move a pc setup?

I've never had a SFF PC so I don't know the addiction. I think they are cool but the building part doesn't interest me nor does working on them if something fails/needs to be upgraded.
That makes sense for work trips! I'd rather just having a decent laptop that can handle games at that point to be honest.
This. So much this.
The whole entire reason I got the Node202. I've packed my PC in carry on luggage. No way you could do that with ATX anything.
About a year ago I got a new job that doesn't require me to travel. It's been sitting since. LOLOL

At the end of the day it’s a work computer that I don’t pay for and don’t own. I’m sure the bossman would of picked out something shitty.
Currently I have an HP beats by Dre laptop for 2014-2015, lol
