  I think you have my pc build, except a 9070 XT for a 6800 XT. But the case is huge, I don’t see how it fits in anyone’s backpack.

    Maybe you’re thinking of some other case? Mine is a little under 13"x10"x6", about the size of a (large) shoebox:

    Granted, not a whole lot else would fit in a backpack along with it, but I’m quite confident it would fit. A stack of three or four textbooks would be bigger.

      I mean I do have that case, and I don’t think it fits in to any of my backpacks, I guess I need to take everything out of my backpack and then it will barely fit if I shove it in.

    I was looking at mini-ITX cases for exactly this purpose a while back — wanted sturdy and small for portable use.

    I remember seeing the Velka and one other whose name escapes me right now.

      Optimus makes insane builds, check out his mini itx build with a fucking rtx 5090. It’s also smaller than OPs pc build
