Late and great Mini-ITX Build?
I lastly saw this video about a company who invents Mini-ITX Cases for PCs, especially for Gaming PCs. And I saw this great case [^1]. The Case is so neat and everything fits so well. The case is small and can stand up to not use too much space on the Desk which I really like. It reminds me on my Mac Pro 6,1 - also known as Trashcan - which was an really great mini-ITX Computer before it was cool. I would still use one but you can't upgrade and therefore it is way much powerconsumption (compared to actual computers) for no reason so an actual Mac Mini M4 is all you need for everyday computing.
And those M4 Processors are really great, evolving with every new generation and doing so good in performance and watt consumption. But there is no graphicscard and the graphic cores are damn slow compared to nVidia or ATI Cards, even when they also go better and better. Since Apple Silicon, the company dropped external VGA Support via Thunderbolt. It is not possible to connect one anymore. And will never be again. So this is a big problem for Macs - like ever. If you stuck to eGPU Support, you are bint to macOS / Intel Platform forever.
And beside that this is the reason I want to build a PC in mini-ITX format just for my pleasure. To game on Windows. And to run Linux on it. To crosscompile on it. Because since a long time, there is no x86 compatible Computer in my house. And now, here is the Video. I don't often mention YouTube-Videos, but that is the reason for this post:
Sadly but there is no seller for this case in germany, I don't know how to buy it. You can order on the official website of XIKII, but I have no glue if it works, shipping to europe, germany. So maybe I need to look for another great mini-ITX Case, there are plenty of them outside.
