Just finished putting together my build for LAN Syndicate and its running like a champ. Stuck a GTX 970 in there with an i5 6600K. 16GB DDR4 RAM, Noctua NH-L9i cooler, Silverstone RVZ02 (Case), Silverstone 600W SFX PSU, & Samsung 850 EVO 500GB.
Should have a video and some nicer DSLR shots tomorrow or Monday.
I don't have the funds to build a new rig for the LAN, ill just be bringing a decent laptop (6700HQ,960M,8or16gb of DRR$ RAM, 500GB SSD). I likely won't even bring a screen.
Perfect build for LS. I'd love to hear your thoughts about actually traveling with the rig after you return. What gear you found helpful, what precautions you took, going with ITX as opposed to a laptop, etc. I feel like ITX is kind of splitting into two segments, one focused on aesthetics (e.g., the new NZXT case), and the other on actual portability and functionality. There's a lot of info out there about building small systems, but less about actually traveling with them.
Yeah, that's what I'll be looking to get. EVGA gave me a list of ones that "should" work and that was on there and one I'm familiar with. I know I have one laying around actually, but easier to buy one then look for it. lol
Don't wanna risk traveling with it and getting lost, damaged or stolen. This PC could fall out of the plane on the way back for all I care as long as I get to game at the LAN. XD
