New small box

Yo fellow hardware enthusiasts!

I'm building a new portable computer, and it finally came down to two options. I want something a little bit special, or I'd go with an Aspire X-Qpack or something.

First option is going with a Monarch Hornet. Very small, very light, and everything should fit as it's prebuilt. That's the logical option, I reckon. But it only accepts Micro-ATX boards and the powersupply isn't standard and rated at no more than 350w.

Second option is going with a Lian Li PC-V880 done by FrozenCPU, with sound deadning, custom carrying handle and a PC Power And Cooling SLI 510w PSU - put a real motherboard in that (DFI Lanparty) and have a hell of a system.
It really is a gem - kind of a shrinked PC-V1200 - Here

In both cases it's going to be built with a X1900XT and Opteron 165 which will be overclocked.

What do you think?

Lian Li PC-880B no doubt about it. It will be quieter, can put a real PSU in there like Seasonic 500, and looks only about 10000000000x better.🙂 Hornet looks cheap plasticy kiddified junk IMO.


think you should build it yourself though. PC Power And Cooling SLI 510w PSU sounds like a jet air craft and you can get dynamat and put it in there for a faction of the cost.
