Hey Guys I have a bit of a Dilema
I've spent quite some time with my computer over the past few years, slowly upgrading it, switching to a new case, customising etc, some of you may have even seen my Rig gallery or project logs in the past, images missing now though. But now i have a decision to thing about over the next 6 months or so.
I'm going to be moving out of my home and in with my Fiancé who still lives with her Family so there is a bit of a problem with space. Now I really don't want to part with my computer because of all the time, money and effort I've put in to it, It's my main hobby, and I dont mean playing on it, I mean building it, tweaking / customising it. I haven't really used it that much since meeting my Fiancé but It's not something i'm willing to part with very easily, after all I've done with it and how much it means to me, From my first every build ive upgraded it.
Anyway it runs an Asus Rampage II Extreme ATX Mobo fitted with a BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro Cooler, 12GB Ram, 1000w ATX PSU, 3 standard HDDs and a Standard DVD RW.
All of this is inside a Coolermaster HAF X full Tower
An option I'm thinking of is downsizing it into a smaller case, perhaps a Mid tower or smaller if possible? Which is where advice is needed, I'm not that great when it comes to cases and was wondering what people would recommend? I already plan to Downsize to a Smaller PSU and maybe switch to Solid State Drive with a Single 1TB drive for storage, The cooler probably would have to stay the same unless theres a good smaller one anyone knows of. So does anyone have any suggestions of cases I could move into? It'd be very helpful.
If not my last option might have to be to sell it and use the money for a gaming laptop or a console, god knows, Last resort anyway.
Thanks in advance
