New Build - Portable PC mated to a monitor

[andrewzarian]

the only concern I would have is cooling. What type of video card would you be looking to use?

[TomSinclair]

No video card. Using built in graphics. It will support two monitors.

It might be possible to get a PICE extender and create another box for your components. What specs will this computer be?

I've recently been dealing with this very issue. Difference is, mine had to run webcams for the time being. I finally just gave up the search and went for a full where I had plenty of room for upgrades and cards. Unless you're willing to pay a premium, a system fast enough to run everything is just out range.

We're close to being there, but when it came time for us to buy, we decided we didn't want to take that chance and just went with something we knew would work. The closest thing to portable is the tower has a handle.

MB is i7-2600k 1155- based (one PCIe slot)
Capture card is Osprey 450e
RAM is 8 GB two sticks 1600
Thinking of using something like this...

Hey Tom,

Have you decided on what you are going to do about building a computer. I am thinking of the same thing. However i have never done one before. Do you or anyone know of a good tutorial on "how to build a super fast video streaming mofo"

Thanks

Bill
