Yeah, i have a 10.1" laptop and that bad enough. Get a nice big 17" + screen to appreciate the graphics better.
And if you want porablilty get a "desktop replacement" stye laptop. Much better and you can then use it on the move on batteries. The case you linked too does not even have a handle, thats a minium for a gaming rig you want to take to your mates house for network gaming. Have fun building it.

Meh, I wouldnt want a 7" screen, but that's just me. If I'm going to do gaming, I'll only do it at home, so it's no biggy. Don't need to be starring at a little
screen anymore than I have too  have fun  |

heh reading the description
"+ Requires Cooler Master Pentium M cooler, and a suitable Commell mini-DIN AC adapter. Power supply included with case is incompatible with mainboard and should be removed." .. why sell an item with a power supply that you just tell them to remove? also.. nice but I think the 7" display reeeally limits you. Pick up a ruler and look at that. Than imagine limiting yourself to that much screen space in an fps or strategy or pretty much any game. For a gaming rig I'd suggest a bigger screen, or just make a monitor seperate.

yeah, 7" is too small for gaming. My laptop has a 15.4" screen and I make do with it (it works pretty well for gaming I guess), but I'd hesitate to go below 14" for general reasons, but particularly in a game where screen area is important.
