It`s pretty astonishing to me that over the decades the size of the pc case required to do ur regularly regarded top-end stuff, still requires both hands and a bending of the knees in order to pick it up.
Power supplies are basically the same size, the ATX is .. well u can get some solid micro ones, but at a loss of something, gfxcards seem to be getting bigger. Memory strips I find appaulling in size, particulary as in alot of situations u can get a regular pc ddr2 and a laptop ddr2 that do the same thing but 1 is about half the size of the other.
PS2 connectors, parallel and serial ports (although they`re going).
Some1 tried with the useless implementation of the pcix1 slot. (I say useless as in there are still 1 or 2 regular pci slots on mobos)
It`s no wonder u can`t buy a mobo (that`s very small) and stick it in a laptop case if u chose to, and power it either atx psu or battery.
Meh.
