Despite the huge number of system integrators on the market, very few creations really capture people’s attention and instigate discussion about new form factors which could become more prevalent in the near future. The advent of overclocking ITX motherboards and stackable HBM memory means it’s possible to acquire astonishing performance numbers in a compact design. Of course, it’s still the case that increased volume allows for beefier cooling solutions and more airflow to heighten thermal dissipation. Saying that, some commentators argue that gaming PCs will become much smaller and full towers might be resigned to water cooling enthusiasts who enjoy creating a spectacular custom loop. Already, there’s been a noticeable shift towards mid-tower cases and premium builds based on highly regarded designs like the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX have made a noticeable impact.
