Stream - Lining Case
Hello All,
I am looking at possibly streamlining my case, its quite big and bulky and what not. Do any of you have a easy transportable type of case, that doesn't loose its ability to stay cool and such ? Current case I have is a

Within the case I have
MotherBoard: here
CPU: here
RAM: (2x) here
VIDEO: here
PSU: here
SSD: here
HDD: (3x) here
Will be fixing up the drives with the new Samsung SSD's a 500 and a 128, most likely taking the 3tb HDD's and making a NAS unit for music and big files excetera. So with all that in mind I wanted to shrink this thing down to something versatile yet lighter and smaller easier to move around and what not. Any thoughts ?

Call in a favor. Call in every favor you can. It might add up to a chance
Actually, when it comes to the size of the case an air cooling *being serious here* a smaller case has BETTER airflow than a larger case, so any case that is small will keep everything much cooler than in a larger case. So if you were to make a Mini-ITX system, it would have the best air flow out of all MOBO form factors.

would this be able to have multiple video cards in such a form factor? and also :
- Get a second GTX 760
- Replace GTX 760 with a 980
Would i notice any difference in any of these changes and which one would be better?

bitfenix shinobi is my personal recommendation. Easy to work in and has a nice design.
Also I'm pretty sure you can get wheels for the HAF series. I have some on my HAF X.

Stream - Lining Case
The most streamlined case that can fit a full size atx board is the cooler master 361. Just be carefull because most tower style cpu heatsinks will not fit unless you cut a hole in the side and make it look like a muscle car with the super charger sticking out the hood. There is also a fractal designs case of similar size but costs like 5 times the price.

So what do you all think about the SLI question?
Also as you state the airflow would be better in these systems, but with less fans? A IT pro at my uni once told me that you could setup fans to essentially keep out particles from your PC. Does anyone have a tutorial video for this?

Can someone tell me what the main difference between the MiniATX and Micro ITX form factors are?

sigh the power supply wouldn't allow the video card to seed or visa versa :P so now my full tower has a upgraded PSU and i'm in search of a powersupply. Going to grab some measurements and see what I can come up with.
