FormD T1
My FormD T1 PC is by far the smallest gaming PC build I have ever built. After successfully standing up a home server, I decided my server provided a quality of life I did not want to live without. I then concluded that my gaming Desktop strictly needs to be able to play games. No need for a beefy CPU or large amounts of expandability. This build served me well for about 1.5 years... and then I upgraded my server to handle 10Gbps. After considering a few options (10Gbps over Thunderbolt, mATX replacement build, or PCIe Bifurcation), I finally settled on bifurcating my single PCIe lane for a 10Gbps NIC. I just could not let go of how amazingly small my computer was with little to no performance compromises. Unfortunately, because my GPU is 2.5 slots thick and this case only supports 3 slots, I cannot install the GPU side panel. Eventually, I will 3D print a side panel with a GPU cutout...
