I basically use my computer for nothing gpu intensive and have it in a standard atx case.

I have an i7-8700 and am wondering how small I can get it.

I see those nuc computers and wonder if it could be transformed into a system like that.

Or is micro-atx the smallest I can go?

    I’m actually thinking about getting rid of the gpu.

    It’s about as powerful as my steam deck and I only use the computer for office work and web browsing.

    I’m really trying to make it as small as possible.

      There’s some neat options for tiny, APU-only cases, and since you’ll be potentially missing the GPU, it will likely be very portable. And if you decide to throw in a GPU, there’s some smaller sandwich cases that can fit single-fan 3060’s (for example) or single slot “office grade” GPUs.
