how you feel about that nzxt h1 mini?
Had no clue what were referring to so I googled and holy hell. That is one efficient enclosure. Not a fan of small form factors - but i really like the design. Especially the one that includes the 140mm liquid cooled AIO and power supply. The way they implemented the graphics card mount next to the ventilated chassis is brilliant as well. Pulling in fresh air and not dependent on air circulation.
I think if you're going itx. This is a no brainer.

check out this dudes channel. the case was a limited sale, might come back after the rona. but bruh....he fit a waterboard in it. it can support a 2080ti
its an itx channel, its his personal laptop, thing is the size of a lunchbox.
since I can't get this, nor the ncase (they dont ship here due to rona), the only case left is the nzxt mini, which is the biggest out of the 3 but is the cheapest.

Running a few ITX builds myself. One with Nouvolo Steck in white and a black watercooled Raijintek Ophion connected to an external Mora3 radiator. Quick disconnects give me the best of both worlds.Going to eventually jump to either the Sidearmd T1 or an Ncase when I get a chance.
I recommend it, easy to build in - you can build inside of this case in 20 minutes.. It's not the ghost s1 or a dan case - small footprint case but not portable.
My complaints - the io shield location, pick up a motherboard with movable wifi antennas and be careful regarding thick cables will bend alot.

wait so the nzxt mini is not something I can fit in a big campers style backpack?
the sidearm T1....for now....is discontinued. things may change after the rona. If I lived in the U.S I would get that ncase, I mean I guess I could always have it shipped to my U.S home, then have my folks ship it to me via DHL. I may go that route if the nzxt isn't portable. i travel alot, need something I can stuff in my backpack along with my display, take on a plane, and set up easy in a hotel. also need it watercooled cause i live in a super hot and humid region.
I was just playing saints row on my alienware laptop, and after about an hour and a half it started hitting 90C and I have the AC on and undervolting
(to be fair my cooling pad is broken, but still)

Just a PSA, that new nVidia driver that was released a few days ago completely fukked up a few games for me with constant stuttering 
I rolled it back and it seems to be better for the moment. Seems like Ubisoft games were the ones most affected so if you're having issues, maybe try that.
