  • Someone convince me that moving from ATX to m-ITX is the right thing to do...

    I have a large workstation in Ireland that I want to shrink and move to London, by taking some of the internal components back on a plane in my carry-on.

    Here's a comparison of the current case (Fractal Design Define S) and proposed (Fractal Design Nano S). I think the Nano S looks like a decent compromise between size and airflow compared to some of the more intense cases like the CM NR200.

    I expect that I can keep the CPU, GPU, RAM (2 of the sticks only...), M2 + 2.5" SSD but will need a new mobo, PSU, and probably a better HSF which keeps things cool and quiet.

    Does this look right? Pcpartpicker doesn't have the exact case but it's enough as a reference.

  • Always the right thing to do IMO...

    I've got the Fractal Define Mini C, never had any problems with cooling/airflow. A carefully chosen PSU/HSF will help a lot.

    Those bits look fine to me, I went cheap water cooled with a Corsair H60 but a broadly similar PSU.
