Now THIS is what I want for my gaming PC if I go small

[@RaySchrantz]

It looks nice, but you can go smaller with basically the same specs

[@alexatkin]

@@RaySchrantz With less maintenance too I'd expect.

[@RaySchrantz]

@@alexatkin And a third the cost. Apparently the config Linus has here is $6500. You can put a Quadro RTX 4000 in a case less than half the size for less than $2500

[@eksentrysyti]

No, this is not what you want to get if you're going small. This case is massive compared to the mini-itx cases. Try an InWin A1. That is something awesome.

[@M1ndblast]

The new 3080 is apparantly really quiet in many of the new boards. aircooling for cpu has been pretty good for ages. In other words, you can build a system like this, with similar or better specs, that runs quietly, for less money and maintenance. And if you look around you can find cases that are similar in size to this one and maybe even less space.

[@nav579]

@Patrick B Maingear's site says they will do upgrades for you, but I think I remember it said there is a cost if it's water cooled. They'll be responsible for finding an appropriate water block for the new GPU, removing your old card, and adding in the new one. Double-check the site or fill out their support form or call them and ask to be sure, as I may have interpreted/remembered their site incorrectly. But if they do have this option, that's what I would use for a system like this.

[@dwindeyer]

Similar to my experience the first time I decided to really spend some money on the cooling system in my PC, as opposed to throwing in the parts with included case fans.
