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.
