I want really small build so that i can put it on my table move around to living room to play game using big screen.

I am looking for this build.
Asrock x99 itx 5960x (going to change from Asusx99-a)
EVGA 850 G2 (hope can keep this powersuplly )
H110i maybe gotta change to H100i
1 TB SSD and 2.5inch 1TB HHD, maybe will add 905 pro
GFX using loan GTX550 maybe will change to Quardpro


so far like the size of SG08 , F305 and 250D (quite big ).. lastly NCASE M1 but they only start shipping at Jan 2016 very slow....

Ncase Expensive! And actually fantastically hard to build in. Needs lots of planning.

You would be better served with a decent sized mATX box because that ITX box got too many limitations key of which don't have quad channel RAM!

If you are buying a 5960x don't let your mobo's features let you down. Buy a mATX board.

Quadro what for? Unless you are using it 24/7 for specific purposes that quadros can do much better.

Before I got skylake, I was aiming for X99 itx as well.
So far if not wrong only Asrock got X99 itx, and you had to get it oversea.
With the advise of fellow bros here that no point getting X99 itx with limitation & no warranty, I drop the idea of X99 itx.

Yea x99 itx you are self limiting to dual channel memory and limited choice of cooler. Get at least a matx x99, Asus x99m-ws. Skylake will be more suitable for mitx to enjoy the lower power emissions and speed shift

Actually i like challenges to custom build and display it... before this i already had about 4 ITX for my DIY nas.

I already have x99 build on my right so no choice have to reuse my 5960x as this really help on my Photoshop processing and Video editing.

so far only Asrock have X99 gotta order from Amazon...

Ncase $200 x 1.45 = ard $290 still okey...

Apparently it's oem by Lian li. Why Lian li never design this kind of nice casing?

Shipping from Taiwan ard $15 usd.

I believe ncase was designed by a group of hardforums members who were not happy with the state of mitx case, and they asked lian li to manufacture the final design, I think it is cool of lian li to assist with a user project. The RoG lian li casing do take some cues from the ncase

relook at RoG lian li size, its maybe about 20-30% bigger ? LIAN LI PC-Q12 smaller but anyone carry it ?

They can't... Heard Silverstone hold patent for the motherboard layout. Lian Li is just a contract supplier to produce these NCASE chassis...

It isn't even that cheap from china. Much less taiwan. Don't ever forget that the package weight is way more than the case is.

The point of X99 is for multiple PCIe devices and quad channel memory. So why throw both out of the window for "space efficiency"?

I am one of the biggest supporters of ITX but I myself find it ridonkulous x99 in ITX.

Besides 300$ for an ITX without shipping (which is gonna be A LOT) is really too much.
