You will have an issue with thinness. Even with thin ITX you'd struggle to build a computer with a decent GPU thinner than say 2". In theory, the Galaxy "Katana" GTX 1070 makes it not impossible, in practice you'd need to create a chassis utilizing a PCI Express riser which can house exactly one video card so it'd be expensive and very niche. Currently the only slim gaming desktop I am aware of is the MSI Vortex G25 8RD / 8RE at 1.7".
- agumonkey 8y agoPersonally I don't mind non thin laptops. Thin is tempting but I'm sure a sturdy easy to fix/upgrade model would overcome the desire for beauty.
- chx 8y agoI don't care that much for the current craze with thinness -- but on the other hand even the slimmest off the shelf part accomodating cases are way beyond laptop territory, I do not think it could get any smaller than https://www.sfflab.com/products/nfc_s4m https://www.sfflab.com/products/nfc_s4m and it's 64mm.
