    You know with these things I always wonder about heat. I've got two pc's in my room at home not overclocked and even with the windows open the temp goes up by around 5c - 10c in an hour.
    Heat is one thing I would worry about.

      I dunno, my pc runs with both cpu and case fan off most of the time, they turn on once in a while for a few moments, but mostly they off. If this thing runs with the CPU fan drawing outside air straight into the heatsink I don't think heat will be much of a problem.

                Looks very similar to a Chyang Fun case so if you want one you can build your own using a mini-ITX motherboard, plus the usual bits.

                When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

                      When you get to this point maybe you're better off with a laptop.

                        Laptops are usually way more expensive for the same performance though.

                          You got a point there, but they're portable.
                          Guess it depends on what you want to have, a small PC that is portable or just a small PC in general.
