I basically use my computer for nothing gpu intensive and have it in a standard atx case.
I have an i7-8700 and am wondering how small I can get it.
I see those nuc computers and wonder if it could be transformed into a system like that.
Or is micro-atx the smallest I can go?
Thanks! I’m going to do some shopping. It feels like a huge waste of space having a full tower.
If I could make a recommendation, the NR200 Max is a great first case for SFF. I think it’s about 17L, so on the larger end of SFF, but it can fit full size GPUs and a number of different CPU coolers.
SFF Time is a unique option that makes a couple cases that can fit ATX parts.
And if you’re unsure, you can always ask the SFF Community.

I’m actually thinking about getting rid of the gpu.
It’s about as powerful as my steam deck and I only use the computer for office work and web browsing.
I’m really trying to make it as small as possible.
There’s some neat options for tiny, APU-only cases, and since you’ll be potentially missing the GPU, it will likely be very portable. And if you decide to throw in a GPU, there’s some smaller sandwich cases that can fit single-fan 3060’s (for example) or single slot “office grade” GPUs.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
