    I can fit my PC in a backpack. It’s got a mini-ITX motherboard, SFX power supply, 240mm AIO water cooler, and an RX 9070 XT in a Lian Li A4-H2O case.

    I went to the trouble of building it small mainly because of the possibility that I decide to flee the US. Thanks, Trump. 😡

      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, something that could go in a backpack or suitcase or the like.

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