The NR200 and the newer NR200p Max are great cases for entry into SFF. The max even includes a PSU and AIO. Until recently I had the NR200P and it's a really great case. Now have a lianli Q58 and it's a great case as well, but somewhat more constrained for size being a sandwich layout vs the more standard layout of the NR200.

Also, a small breakout-box for plugging in the four headsets (or adequate built-in or integrated-into-the-case WiFi to support Wireless VR on all four machines).

The thought was that everyone would be using dumb terminals connected to a server if they needed a computer. Not that they would have personal computers at all. I thought this was interesting.
For some reason, hearing "tiny PC" immediately made me think about the "tiny net" explanation from Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. "The tiny net is a death sentence; it's a net, and it's tiny."
For me I wanted a tiny computer just to run Linux for me on my KVM switch. Since my needs were minimal I just purchased a small used HP EliteDesk 800 g2! Gave it a 512gb M.2 drive & it's also connected to my 8tb External for........... Torrents.... Serves it's purpose well! It would of been a joy to try to build a computer this small from scratch but just wasn't practical for me when I scored this for $100 USD back in January & does everything I need it to.
I was running one of these old HPs as a retro gaming console to run old games on emulators (GTFO NES Classic, etc) and tuck away in the home entertainment center. Unfortunately I had problems with the DisplayPort on the 800 so I ended up going with a similar Dell.. but these old desktops in these SFF are incredibly cheap and have a ton of uses.
@@ScottOmatic Guessing issues making display port work nicely when your HDMI tv? I luckily got a display port based KVM switch so it's been fine for me! Turning one of these into an emulator box isn't a bad idea. Only has crappy Intel integrated graphics. But still plenty enough for emulating anything from the 6th gen or older!
@@TheIdleCrow I had a DisplayPort to HDMI cable, I thought that might be faulty so I hooked it into my monitor with a good known DisplayPort cable and it still didn’t work. Looked on the internet and there were a lot of reports of people having problems with the DisplayPorts outputs working correctly. I think it might have been older than the G2 so I’m sure it’s something that has gotten straightened out on the newer iterations. It’s now being used as a printer computer over a shared network in a relatives home. The Dell OptiPlex SFF that replaced it has an upgrades i7 in it and an Nvidia Quadro slim gpu. I was planning on getting the best slim card you can get, which i think is still an Nvidia 1060 or 1650 but I have put that on hold with the current GPU market.

"Don't pair your new pc with that chonky printer you got on black friday".... ok, new challenge for LMG: Build a powerful sleeper PC into an all-in-one printer *without* impacting the printer's normal operation, and allowing full gaming power remotely via LAN or WIFI.
Didn't talk about GPU selection. There can be a big difference between 2.0 vs 2.2 vs 2.5 slot thick cards and which ones fit in a small case. Also card length and width. The EVGA 3070 XC3 I got was the biggest card that would fit in my Fractal Design Node 304 case.
If you are looking to start with SFF cases, I recommend Cooler Master NR200 as some people in comments already pointed out. It's really the case that made SFF accessible to masses. So brilliantly designed and priced. The instructions are also really good. Just beware that to install a normal CPU air cooler you will need to use the perforated side panel, so the NR200P variant with the glass side panel will require either an AIO or lower profile CPU air cooler. But I always recommend the perforated panel anyway for better cooling.
I literally bought and built an itx pc yesterday and completely forgot there is sfx psu. thankfully there was enough space for the atx psu in the front so I could just ziptie it to it.
I’m telling you we need more small mATX tower cases. There’s hardly any on the market. You pretty much only have the Corsair 280x and the Lian Air mini and mini 011…and only 2 of those cases fit an ATX PSU. It’s maddening
@@MrSwiftResponse oh yeah I should probably clarify lol, I’ve been looking for one that doesn’t have a psu shroud and moves the psu behind the mobo tray, wanting a short case
@@jacobeaton4042 fair enough, if I remember from when I researched my case purchase, the corsair is probably the best option like you said. You also could get lucky with some of the random cases on Aliexpress.
for performance per price, standard sized components wins and no matter how much you willing to pay there is a limitation for heat dissipation abilities in a fixed space, no clever solution there just more metal fins and pipes and fans
How can I build a nano pc that works as a set-top box? I want to build some pretty small pc with Linux or Windows, install some apps like Netflix, and use a remote controller
If ITX is too expensive, try the tecware fusion or Sama Im01 which fits an ATX PSU, Double fan graphic card, and a micro atx motherboard while being only 21 litres in size. With an SFX PSU there could be room for a full length GPU as well.
If you want a Xbox Series X similar build I just finished one using the Meshalicious case by SSUPD. Full 240mm radiator support, SFX (it can do ATX but I wouldn't) PSU, 3060Ti with room for a 3080. It's a nice case and crams a lot in the small space. Can even do 2 2.5" drives
It really isn't that crazy to upgrade an ITX build, unless you're talking the smallest end such as a Velka 3 build. Even then, though, your only significant limitation is the small GPUs available in the current generation.
@@koknyoq so add an M.2 instead, or if the slots are filled just get a cheap M.2 to USB adapter and clone your current M.2 drive onto a bigger one before swapping them!
not really a big PITA. It's just: - buy drive and $5 or less adapter - plug drive into adapter and adapter into USB port - run cloning - unslot old M.2 and swap
Funny that you think multi-GPU’s aren’t used anymore. There are plenty of professional use-cases, you’d be surprised, especially in the world of CG, animation and VFX
there are no good cases on the market so you have to design and build one by yourself, that's the biggest issue you can easily buy a passive SFX-L PSU (even if expensive), you can buy KalmX graphics card (sometimes), you can buy NH-P1, but finding a case that has enough space for that BUT NOT MORE is basically impossible
Can someone at LTT help us find a printer, which doesn't have ink lockout? Like, I cannot print greyscale documents without having coloured ink in the printer.
You guys should add a small SCREEN to the side of it. Maybe make it overall a bit thinner so it fits in a pocket. THAT would be perfect! (joking aside I love the SFF community. I'd love to see a SoC + MEMORY approach where you basically plug in a device to any computer and the code runs on that external device. NOT an external GPU but the CPU part as well with shared memory... pros and cons but the idea is neat.)
I'm trying to build a mini home server with 2 nvme, 2 sata and a sfp+ card or 10Gbe integrated but also sipping power on a dc supply.. sadly it seems I got to choose between 1GBe/2.5Gbe ethernet and dc or 10gbe and typical atx/sfx... can't wait for atx12vo to be the norm
2nd hand framework board, USB-PD 100w battery backed up power bank+60W power supply, or 100W power supply alone, cooler master framework case. Very tiny PC. Only downside is no graphics. Give that a few years when the 16" boards and gpus start getting upgraded lol
Going to use my old gaming pc parts for my work pc. I have an intel i5 7400 with MSI H110M PRO-VH PLUS M-ATX. What are the smaller case that I should try to find
Can you make one, please. Like the one you are showing. You guys have not done PC builds for quite a while especially ITX or mini-ITX. Please include different types of cooling systems we could use with it. Thanks, James.
I just got the idea, it could be dumb, I don't know haha. Is there any cooler that along with having its typical fans, also physically connects to the computer case, to effectively turn the entire case into a heat radiator? My guess is that the cost of such a case wouldn't be justified by the thermals.
Hey guys I have a project about building a gaming computer and i have formulated a survey and need your guys help since I dont have much friends so i would really appreciate any input PS: I'm not limited to a budget 1 What is the ideal amount of memory slots on the motherboard? 2 What is the ideal memory frequency? 3 What should the base CPU clock speed be? 4 What is the recommended number of cores for a processor 5 What is the recommended number of threads? 6 What is the recommended number of M.2 slots 7 which generation processor is recommended ? 9 What is the recommended Graphics card? 10 Recommended Wattage for the PSU 11 Recommended modularity for the PSU 12 Is an NVMe SSD required
Hi, First of all thanks for the great video. I really liked laptop styled power for the mini PCs. Basically I want to build a pc with thunderbolt 4 usb c only. Could you recommend a Mini ITx motherboard and a case that would allow me to power it like I would power my laptop. Because not having PSU will save a lot of space.
I rock a sharkoon qb one with a Cooler Master 240 AIO and a GTX FE card, never going full size ever again. SFFPC all the way. And it lives to its name, Desk-Top by being actually on top of the desk :'D
*small AIO?* Is there a small AIO that actually works as good as an air cooler of similar size? Look at the picture at 3:20 and observe how little EXHAUST area there is. And it's a 40mm fan so that's going to make an annoying sound... I found a seemingly good review that said it was 19degC cooler than the Noctua NH-L9i but the review also said it sounded like a hair dryer... if you don't have a noise-normalized test for cooler reviews you've done it wrong.

CoolerMaster NR200 was a sweet spot for me. It fits ATX PSU, is relatively small, has good airflow and is a breeze to build inside

Tfx is often used in sff machines but anything over 350w is hard to find (sea sonic make 350w modular and wired versions)
I'm trying to build a mini home server with 2 nvme, 2 sata and a sfp+ card or 10Gbe integrated but also sipping power on a dc supply.. sadly it seems I got to choose between 1GBe/2.5Gbe ethernet and dc or 10gbe and typical atx/sfx... can't wait for atx12vo to be the norm
Im a simple man. I do what James tells me. I'm a mini pc guy now. Thanks James!
I would like to see something about cpu power co consumptions and how it factors into building a pc
i'm just gonna follow Linus' lead and build my pc into my desk.
Suprised he missed that ram height is a big deal for a lot of mini boards.
Most rgb models won't fit under a stock am4 cooler for example
please givew a link to the case in the start
2nd hand framework board, USB-PD 100w battery backed up power bank+60W power supply, or 100W power supply alone, cooler master framework case. Very tiny PC. Only downside is no graphics. Give that a few years when the 16" boards and gpus start getting upgraded lol
What was the case featured in this video?
What that case called on the thumbnail?
Going to use my old gaming pc parts for my work pc. I have an intel i5 7400 with MSI H110M PRO-VH PLUS M-ATX. What are the smaller case that I should try to find
Spme1 please tell me the name of that case in the begining
What's the name of the last case? The one that looks skinny and tall
Skyreach 4 mini
Skyreach 4 mini
What tower is this?
Can you make one, please. Like the one you are showing. You guys have not done PC builds for quite a while especially ITX or mini-ITX. Please include different types of cooling systems we could use with it. Thanks, James.
I love my NFC Skyreach
I just got the idea, it could be dumb, I don't know haha. Is there any cooler that along with having its typical fans, also physically connects to the computer case, to effectively turn the entire case into a heat radiator? My guess is that the cost of such a case wouldn't be justified by the thermals.
Brotip: if you want an even smaller pc, use a raspberry pi.
i have a k55 which is 5.5 litters only with 5600x and 3080 in it, smallest on earth, the thhing is smallers than the case of the gpu
Why LTT doesnt make ultra small form factor iGPU builds and tests it for gaming ?
what case is that?
What case is it in this video?
Hey guys I have a project about building a gaming computer and i have formulated a survey and need your guys help since I dont have much friends so i would really appreciate any input
PS: I'm not limited to a budget
1 What is the ideal amount of memory slots on the motherboard?
2 What is the ideal memory frequency?
3 What should the base CPU clock speed be?
4 What is the recommended number of cores for a processor
5 What is the recommended number of threads?
6 What is the recommended number of M.2 slots
7 which generation processor is recommended ?
9 What is the recommended Graphics card?
10 Recommended Wattage for the PSU
11 Recommended modularity for the PSU
12 Is an NVMe SSD required
Hi, First of all thanks for the great video. I really liked laptop styled power for the mini PCs. Basically I want to build a pc with thunderbolt 4 usb c only. Could you recommend a Mini ITx motherboard and a case that would allow me to power it like I would power my laptop. Because not having PSU will save a lot of space.
Forgot to mention TFX Power Supplies.
I did not know about them and since my case was free, I built in it, turns out a sfx isnt small enough!
I rock a sharkoon qb one with a Cooler Master 240 AIO and a GTX FE card, never going full size ever again. SFFPC all the way. And it lives to its name, Desk-Top by being actually on top of the desk :'D
So the the opposite of my Corsair Air 540 with SLI 770's and D14?
*small AIO?*
Is there a small AIO that actually works as good as an air cooler of similar size? Look at the picture at 3:20 and observe how little EXHAUST area there is. And it's a 40mm fan so that's going to make an annoying sound... I found a seemingly good review that said it was 19degC cooler than the Noctua NH-L9i but the review also said it sounded like a hair dryer... if you don't have a noise-normalized test for cooler reviews you've done it wrong.
