the smallest gaming workstation computer
 

this is my new project
it will be like a laptop (UMPC, a mini laptop)
7"LCD i will mod the connector to a D-SUB and power
the box:
mini-itx core duo mobo
core duo cpu
2gb ddr2 ram-ddr2 ram is cheap so i am gettin 2 gigs
ati radeon x1600 low profile
slimline slot loading dvd+-rw
250gb 3.5" hd
all in this SMALL case :

thats right, ALL the components, plus the decent x1600 pci-e in that box!

why would you want a 7" lcd?

portability

like a UMPC

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:P 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.

I think you're going to run into trouble with that puny 120 W power supply, but whatevers.

Was there a programming question or topic in there somewhere?? :confused: Just curious.

i never said i am using the 120w psu that comes with case...i am removing it and using a 250W sff psu

sheesh im not that stupid

i have the right cooler master heatsink and fan and an AC adapter from the sff 250w DC-DC psu
