Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - I want to build decent a Mini-ITX computer

Wow, so much hate for something so insignificant. Lian Li makes Mini-ITX form factor cases that fit full-size video cards and even fit regular ATX PSU's while having multiple 3.5" HDD bays. Obviously things are tight (if it's even possible to fit what they claim) but I'm the one assembling it so why would you care how difficult it would be to fit all of that in there? You should see my case right now. In fact, I'm gonna charge my camera and snap a picture of it. 2 PSU's, 4 HDD's, 1 HDD cooler, 3.5" floppy, 2 ODD's, a front panel with extra SATA, audio and USB jacks, it's crazy. This rig would be a nightmare to anyone else but I'm not anyone else. It's my problem so don't get so over-worked about it.

In fact, I'm so in love with how I've managed to get all of this crap inside this thing that I'm thinking about scrapping the Mini-ITX thing and just getting a new mobo, CPU, vid-card and RAM and call it a day.

*edit* I used to do control wiring and loved it so maybe that's why I like things like this.
