To build a transportable PC of durable longevity with strong performance and multiple options.

Modified in stages, arguably portable (a lead brick), it's a functional joy to use. Delivers ~60FPS at 4K in games & is audibly tolerable.

• ITX size case (18.5L) optimised for ATX parts, performance, cooling, storage scope, clutterless cabling & disguised as a box.

• Motherboard facilitates all components, enables stable overclocks & has vast features.

• Smartly designed giant Noctua NH-D15S quietly air-cools delidded, overclocked 8700K with minimal footprint, freeing space for additional components.

• 32GB Optane offers durability for boot, Win10 O/S & HDD acceleration at SSD-like speeds.

• Undervolted & overclocked Zotac 1080ti Blower GPU aids cooling and restricts noise in 4K gaming.

• Twin slim 140mm Prolimatech fans assist cool air input and equally large dual Noctua's remove hot air quietly.

• Aesthetically matched attractive RGB peripherals (Patriot Viper V770 keyboard & Logitech G203 mouse "breathing white" simultaneously).

• 27" AOC AG271UG IPS panel, gives crisp 60Hz 4K gaming with added G-Sync.

• Black cables, Noctua Chromax and EVGA adapter enhance appearance and simplify routing.

• Vertegear Triigger 350 chair/headrest & rockable footboard provides best comfort & posture, extending system use.
