I'm on the hunt for a PC that's small enough to fit into a pretty tight space (W415mm x D340mm x H125mm to be precise) but is powerful enough to output for some 4k gaming...a tall order I know.
I came across the Fractal Node 202 case which seems ideal but concerned about the thermals of the case and ideally I don't want it to sound like a 747 about to take off.
Am I asking the impossible?
