I wish that was the size of a Gamecube, so it'd be big enough to be cool and quiet, and maybe rugged with a handle too
I'm amazed noone has created a copy of that form factor as a console or desktop, with 2 boards like the brix.2001 is calling. It wants its videogame console back.

It's small enough to be portable, it's semi-rugged, and large enough to fit massive heatsinks, lots of ports, 100mm push and pull fan, dual 2.5" drives.
Could use a reasonable sized 24V power brick and then DC-DC convert down to local voltages internally.
GC is too small for standard RAM DIMMs, but a with a diagonal riser stack you could fit two or even FOUR.
Damn thanks button is reply was.
its been done
BUT with components comparable to whats in the Brix?
God, I hope not. The Brix has established that you can't fit a 760 into a box the size of a large fist and get away with it. Why would you want to do it in a gamecube?
Whats the point of using parts where you can only get up to 40 percent load without throttling? Why didnt you just use lower wattage cooler running parts in the first place? I guarantee you a 750Ti without throttling in the Brix would smoke that 760. They just did the stupid thing and pandered to the uneducated masses who will see the specs and druel and buy one without thinking.
Well if additional cooling and slightly more space headroom I would presume it could be done. Maybe a 750TI would work well in this scenario?
Yeah that is true, I about crapped myself when I saw the form factor and the specs, it all makes sense now that it was too good to be true. I would say what 1-2 generations of this type of tech to see this working?
