New Build - Portable PC mated to a monitor

[TomSinclair]

I'm up for a new PC build and am thinking about a small footprint (mini itx or so) that I can mount on the back of a 20" monitor. Thinking of a i7-2600+ based system. This might be the solution to the need for a portable, yet powerful PC with multi camera inputs.


Anybody done this? Most of the smaller itx cases appear too small for me to use a PCIe card (thinking of an Osprey 460e). Or maybe there's a way to bend the card so that it is parallel to the mb. I've seen those right-angle PCIe adapters. Also worried about heat.


Am I completely nuts?


Love to hear your thoughts.
