Hi all,
I got a 4k tv and due to a crazy timetable just don't have the time to go to my "office" to use my desktop for gaming, I just want to play games from the living room. I would like to know if a mini PC would be an option for 4k gaming. Looking for a sli setup, there are other retailers offering a mini PC with a sli set up (rhymes with Scam :) ) but I would prefer PCS if that's an option. Cooling wise would it be an issue? I remember PCS displaying full watercooled systems at insomnia , are those available for sale? Ideally I would like a watercooled system (mini PC or small desktop) to minimise the noise in the living room. I emailed them and a helpful sales assistant said they will get back to me as well. If anyone knows something or if any admin could share some information it would be appreciated.

Most mini systems I've seen do not really have the space for 2 cards. They use the ITX motherboards which have a single PCIe slot on them.

Ah my apologies, but would probably then have to be a small desktop case rather than a mini PC one as they are usually only big enough for a ITX board.

I don't think PCS are really into the whole full watercooling loops, you would need to do that yourself and it can be quite expensive as well. Although a CPU watercooler would be pretty simple to do and I know PCS would offer that.

Actually seems that some places offer watercooling ready graphics card, all you need to do is hook them up to a watercooling loop and radiator. If you ask very nicely PCS might let you send them in and install them for you

Got a reply from PCS, watercooled systems are going to be delayed and is something that may come up in the near future. It is a shame, I was told over the summer it would be available by the end of the year. I hope it does take place eventually since other retailers are offering those services are more customisation (braided cables, colour coded fans.....). I was planning to get a new pc this Christmas and not sure whether I should wait for PCS to offer what I am looking for, I hope they do.
