I need optimal cooling an OC'ed small form factor PC, that will be moved around A LOT.
Recently worked with the Fractal 500 case and Corsair H60 for a friend, and it worked well. I want to build a similar machine, OC the shit outta the i5, and be able to take it wherever. Below are the restrictions on the case, and parts so far:
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus Z170I PRO GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard ($159.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($84.88 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Toshiba 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($83.80 @ OutletPC)
Case: Fractal Design Core 500 Mini ITX Desktop Case ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA GS 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $832.62
As for the video card, I'll decide later since new architectures are coming out this summer. Whatever it is, it'll be a beast, and not a blower style.
Let me know what you think!

■The case comes with one Silent Series R3 140mm fan (on the back, for exhaust).
■There is room for an additional two 140 mm fans, water cooling radiators up to 280mm which must be mounted on the top, or
■Air coolers up to 170 mm in height.
