Plug this motherfucker in your big tv and boom, console with free games

Because I need drive storage, and my monitor is miles better than my TV.

Anyway, for me, it's excess foreskin.

I've built a full size gaming rig and an mItx NAS.
Next tech project is a mini AI server, I want to run 2 of the upcoming intel workstation GPU's off a tiny ass motherboard. I'm worried that I won't be able to find a motherboard that can do even a single pcie 5.0 gpu.

I already have a PC, I just want to make a SteamLink device with a Pi

I already have a mini PC for my TV.

Also I miss playing PC on my projector (ballast or whatever had a capacitor pop)

I'm not paying the ITX tax fuck that shit

>>717647887 (OP)
Njudea doesn't sell FE models in my cunt and importing one would triple the price

>>717647887 (OP)
Because I hate building PCs in small cases. I tend to buy as big as they make so I don't have to fuck with it. Although I will say I am fairly confident my next build will be a thick body horizontal case

>>717647887 (OP)
but anon, this is exactly what i did but with a 4k gaming beamer with fast reaction times

>>717647887 (OP)
I got a SFF office PC for free. I don't have the data to download modern games, so its iGPU is perfectly fine for all the games I can get my hands on.

SPH?

laziness. i've been debating on just selling my current system and getting a macbook pro for resale value and simplicity.

>my monitor is miles better than my TV
That's only because you don't have 40" OLED TV. I guarantee you 40" OLED TV is better than whatever multi-monitor setup you have going, hell you could probably do 6x small windows on it or something, split it into zone of 6

>but the burn-in
yeah that's your problem, not mine

>>717650520
>40" OLED TV
I have a 43" IPS monitor. I'm not buying OLED because I have no interest in throwing it away in 3 years after it gets burned in, it's a hassle to dispose of large panels. A 40" screen from a couch is fucking tiny, too.

When they make fancy screens that don't kill themselves, I'll buy one.

>SPH
v-video games???

>>717647887 (OP)
I love SPH

My least favorite part with building a pc is fucking around with cables so I just get the fuck off huge cases

Nobody has ever given me a single good reason for building SFF over a normal ATX-sized build.

>>717649868
Don't pay the Macbook Pro hipster tax. Get an M1 Mac Mini. Literally the best bang for your buck you can possibly get for anything but gaming.

>>717647887 (OP)
Because I like tower air coolers and reliable, full size PSU's

>>717647887 (OP)
5090 wont fit in that

>>717647887 (OP)
sff is where components go to die a slow heat death.

get a lancool 216x.

enter the formless.

>>717653020
the cooling in sff cases is fine, and unless you're running at the absolute thermal limit of the components there is no "slow heath death"

that's some gamerbro fudd shit

>>717655845
I used to have a similar case but my cat decided he enjoyed putting a claw in the fan blades like a playing card in the spokes of a bike

just constant tickticktickticktickticktickticktick all day long

I love my big black boxes what can I say

>SPH
pathetic

the problem with the dream PC:
it's good. in fact it's a little too good. i built my dream PC in 2016. when i was 25
you guessed it im in my mid 30s and that PC is still running and kicking. apart from the gaming capabilities which has grossly diminished even though i got a 6700 a couple of years ago

i feel more like buying a laptop or a flagship smartphone than building a PC from the ground up again.

my favourite build. post yours.

Video card won't fit.

>>717656070
I also built my PC 10 years ago with a 6700k and I'm saving up money to do what OP said. In order to beat a next gen console you'll need at least 12 core CPU and 24GB vram though.

small factor is king

Having an enormous ATX case also handily frightens away any would-be gf candidates. Don't have to smell pussy here!

>SPH
>pajeets still don't understand what this still means
>mfw

I had one of these. It was nice to have such a minimal desk footprint, but upgrading anything was always a pain in the ass. High-end GPUs have also gotten so massive that SFF is becoming absolutely unsuitable for high-end.

>>717647887 (OP)
zako PC

>>717656526
Looks like atx though

>>717657421
>Looks like atx though
?
it's mini atx

>>717656070
I would be right with you if I didn't get into AI, now that it makes me money I have the urge to go all out and buy one of those 96gb workstation GPUs and get 192gb ddr5 wam

>>717647887 (OP)
small pp energy + if something happens it's harder to mess with the inside because there is less space

>>717647887 (OP)
>Why haven't you built a Small Form Factor (SPH) PC yet, anon?
Because I simply do not care how big the box is sitting next to my TV.

>boom, console with free games
but i already have a jailbroken ps4 and ps5

>>717656121
that's why i added an SPH to mine, it fits now

I have my normal pc connected to a tv using wireless hdmi, I'm not playing games on it, but it's great for movies and shit.

>>717647887 (OP)
>why you not pay more for less like grug?

>>717647887 (OP)
My PC is in a rack in a storage room off the garage. Why do I need a small form factor one?

This is small enough for me.

can someone explain what the actual fuck is SPH and why is OP getting clowned upon for it?

>>717661490
Classic mistake anon. PS4 and PS5 have no games, but we're talking about free games.

The rat dogs of PCs. They serve no purpose, are strictly inferior to their full size equivalent, and exist only to be annoying and have pictures of them posted online by their even more annoying owners.

>>717647887 (OP)
I can't afford groceries.
Meanwhile people who arrived in this country yesterday receive housing and gibs for existing.

>>717662031
They both get PC games, though.

>>717661996
Heck! I bought the peerless assasin 120 SE twice because it removed a bottleneck I didn't know I had with my 3800x against my RTX 3070 ti, but the fins are bullshit. They bother coloring the heat pipes, but not the fins. It stands out like a troon, which also means it's disturbingly ugly.

He's not brown, they wouldn't accept him.

I already dislike working inside of a normal sized case, why the fuck would I make my life harder for no real benefit?

>>717647887 (OP)
With console tier specs lmao

>>717647887 (OP)
I have an itx, if I wasn't travelling I'd never build another. The cpu coolers are too small so they are both noisy and cannot handle anything beyond mid range. GPUs are constantly increasing in size and wattage which makes it hard to upgrade without swapping out the very expensive case you just bought, they are also generally louder because heat management is hard in a small case. Installing new ssd's is always a gigantic pain in the ass, I basically have to disassemble half the system to do it and there's also too few ports. Everything is more expensive and even the parts that aren't will be limited by size restrictions so you can't take advantage of good deals.

Only thing SPH is "useful" for is a home server/lab. But why the fuck pay extra for the hardware when I can just use old shit I have laying around? Hell nearly 10 year old components (that were good at the time) will crush any kind of home sever needs you could possibly have. And I don't like in the EU so power is basically free, I don't have to give a shit about power efficiency.

>>717647887 (OP)
I already did, they're vastly superior to boxy full and mid towers

>>717647887 (OP)
I don't really see the point. I plug a regular PC into my TV in my living room. Aesthetics? My TV is above a redundant fireplace so it already looks jank.

Absolutely no airflow. I'll pass

>>717666868
They have great airflow. You obviously have no idea how to build in a smaller case

>>717667330
They have ok airflow, but they are loud

>>717647887 (OP)
I thought about it as a way to recycle some of my old components, but never got around to it because I don't feel like buying a new motherboard.
