All these itx builds is giving me an itch to build a new pc. Why is the NZXT H1 sold out T_T

Corsair will have to re-release the 380T, with more GPU room, before I go that small. 
What is that figure from?
ITX builds are dangerous. You get a small build and think, I could go smaller. You do this until you get down to a truly small build. Then the sickness takes you further. I have a ghost and now I’m eyeballing a NUC for no other reason than it’s smaller.

I’m all about massive air cooling and cat / tip proofing, which doesn’t really go hand in hand with SFF builds.

Ahhh understand compensating for pet habits. I thought tempered glass was cool until my greyhound smudges it all up with his nose every time he wants my attention. Now I never want another windowed case ever. Give me solid or perforated side panels only.

I had an ITX build and I didn’t like it, it was awesome that it was small for like a few months and then I was annoyed I had to duct tape my extra hard drives to the bottom, and the mobo wifi stopped working and I didn’t have a pcie slot for a wifi card, and it always ran warm but I couldn’t get a graphics card with better cooling because it wouldn’t fit, and I had it on the desk and was always worried about bumping it… I ended up getting a full size ATX that I can just hide under my desk and not worry about, it can hold six hard drives and a 2.5 slot GPU no problem.

The keyboard is looking good 
What keeb is that?
That’s always been a big deterrent for me, but If LAN parties, were still a thing, I’d build a mini rig in a heart beat.

tbh lan parties were kinda before my time, but I always assumed you would want the biggest tower possible even if it wasnt that good for a lan party to flex on everyone.
Sounds like a bad small case problem. But yeah, really depends on your requirements. I have a 450W with a 1060 which is fine but I’ll have to be very selective about my upgrade path!

I went to a lan party once with my water cooled rig and nvidia surround setup. took a whole table to myself and garnered a lot of attention, but damn was it a pain in the ass to move.

Before COVID I did several LAN parties a year with my college buddies. It’s tradition.
Most SFF PCs are actually air cooled. It’s a total myth that you need a cavernous tower to keep your components cool.
Air movement is more important than air volume.
Mine is water cooled however. But that was because I wanted total perceived silence. I’m also a bit of a minimalism freak.
But to each their own.

What part of the world, were you doing lan parties in and what games were you playing over lan?

Mid East Coast of America (Virginia, Maryland, PA). As I said, this was pre-COVID. My group of college friends have been doing it to stay in touch for at least 10 years.
Every LAN is a mix of games, usually on the cheaper side. Occasionally we will pick up 1 AAA title and a few free to play games. Some past hits have been Left 4 Dead 1&2, Golf with Friends, various racing games, Killing Floor, Hidden, Pummel Party and Mordhau.
