besides, i am not selling the case...i am building this pc so i can change whatever i want to i am selling the full system so they dont have to do anything....press the power button and thats it

The Forum heading says nothing about this forum being limited to programming only topics.

But I would like to point out that any LCD monitor below 20 inches is going to be quite portable, you have to remember that these things are a lot lighter and thinner than CRT screens. Also, You may want to consider getting a better power supply than that. If this is really designed to be a portable desktop then the power drain doesn't really matter and you should go ahead and get a decent one.

Also remember, that because the case is so thin, you're going to have a hard time getting full size drives to fit in there, and if you decide to go with mini ones, you will have to order slimline/ 2.5 inch to IDE converters.

Another thing to consider is that you will have to buy a low power/ low heat processor, due to the fact that the heatsink for that thing will have to be small.

I suggest something like this instead:

thanks indigno, but i got everything covered. i never start a project without researching first....ALL my selected components are guaranteed to fit the case... you are right as i said i am using a slimline slot loading DVD+-RW and have a slimline CD to IDE adapter
also i have 2.5" hd that are sata and the mobo has sata
also if you read my first post i have a core duo processor that if you didnt know is aa mobile cpu and uses 45W while being as powerful as a X2 4600+ amd
and i have a 1U all copper heatsink with a 7000 rpm 60mm fan

really i have EVERYTHING and ALL OF IT is compatible, i was mainly asking for advice on the design and the lcd

oh do you really think that a 15" lcd on that small case will look ok?

btw indigno really thanx you are one of the only ones who helped me

and plz ppl read my OP....here is the list maybe you guys thought this was just an idea but i have planned this for a while now
Commell-LV677
case (link in OP)
core duo T2500
CM 1U HSF
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

hardware is just so much simpler...even the amazing modifications to hardware take basic knowledge of capacitors and resistors in my experience like voltmodding graphics cards to make em take more volts and run faster

I don't really see the point of this computer... either buy a laptop, or buy one of those really small cases with a monitor, both are already potable enough, and both are good enough to play games.

And as DaWei has pointed out and hinted at, this is no programming topic and maybe should be moved. Just because it doesn’t specifically say it had to be a programming topic, this is a programming forum so it's kind of implied. Maybe move it to the Lounge, unless you’re making custom software for this computer and will be discussing that.

sorry

i was thinking since the UMPC were like $3000 and people are buying them i could make one like that for $1400.....ill just post this on oc.net they seem to like the idea and will actually help me

King

If you sold it for 1400 you wouldn't make any money

ummm... because a laptop is expensive and if he does this right then he could have a good computer for less than 500$
