Yep! I'm building an i7 machine for my brother in law this weekend using the in win chopin case: https://www.inwin-style.com/en/gaming-chassis/Chopin

It's smaller than an xbox. The only major limting factor is the TDP on the CPU, because it can only house a small cooler (so went for a 65w instead of 95w TDP).

And, it's modular, so if a bit dies we can replace it. If he wants to get a GPU 2 years from now we don't have to trash the whole build.




Very nice, was thinking about the Next Unit of Computing before I saw this.

I’ll probably opt for software rendering for everything though.


The link you posted says that there are no internal expansion slots. So when you want to add that GPU were you thinking something like an eGPU or new case?

Just trying to assess this vs something like a NUC Hades Canyon.
