I install commercial pools and spas, so I'm rarely ever home to play games on my desktop. I bought a laptop in August of last year, and it just doesn't really seem to cut it for the games. I want to build a desktop pc that is mobile. I've found a case by Thermaltake that I like, and I plan on just getting a new mobo, mini atx or something like that, and taking the components out of my current rig and placing them in there, and then building a new desktop for my Thermaltake Armor, and possibly add watercooling. Money isn't really an issue, but I'm going to need a monitor, keyboard, and whatever else. I have an MX518 mouse already. Also, I need help as to what is the best components for a gaming rig as I've been out of the loop for some time. Currently the set up in my desktop is; Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 3 GB G.Skill DDR2 800, eVGA 8800 GT 512 MB Superclocked, Antec Truepower 2.0 550W, 320 GB HDD, Tuniq Tower 120. This is the case that I'm looking at for my mobile desktop; Newegg.com - Thermaltake VF1000SWA Silver Aluminum MicroATX Desktop Computer Case - Computer Cases
With your opinion, would you build a desktop using that case for games, so you have a mobile powerhouse, or would you just cough up the extra dough and get a laptop? I'm taking anyone's opinion into account, so that will be appreciated. Let me know if you think it's just dumb to build a mobile desktop, and I should deal with my laptop. Thanks guys!
P.S. My laptop specs are;
HP Pavilion 9700t
Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz
3 GB RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium
160 GB HDD
nVidia 8600 M GS 512 MB
Thanks again!
