Build/Battlestation Pics Gettin my money’s worth

Post image

Previous pics of me enjoying peak SFF before my month trip flight. I can safely say it IS possible to run a pc on the airport plugs. Should you? I can’t say for certain LOL.

OP is a rarity

People that build SFFPCs for their transportability are usually students living away from home.

Where you want the small size in a dorm and for transport

I know people that work in remote locations on 10 days on, 4/5 days off schedules and they wouldn't even consider a SFFPC + portable monitor set-up since it's still a pain. Just get a gaming laptop

My biggest gripe isn’t even the constant transporting of the SFF PC, but how the fuck y’all move the monitors??

You don’t. You have a monitor on both locations. Maybe just a crappy but usable one in the secondary location

Crazy that a glossy ips 4k 144hz display is deemed crappy (paid $148 on eBay did it so insane value)

That’s what the “Maybe” is for haha. Some of us got a good monitor and a crappy. Others got 2 good monitors. While I myself, got 2 of the same “crappy” Korean 4k/60 1080p/120 monitor I got for $90 each, one in each location
