I'm currently in a bit of a conundrum. I'm looking for a computer that can do everything and I keep running into shortcomings. I do a lot of on location recording, so I need a system that is extremely portable like a laptop. I also like to play a lot of games, so I want something that can hold one or maybe 2 video cards. It also needs to be QUIET since it's going to be in the room with sensitive microphones.
Laptops seem to do a lot of the trick, but your typical high airflow laptops with 8800 GTXM cards are really loud!
On the other hand, a SFF or Mid Tower case will need a keyboard and mouse and monitor to go with it everywhere.
I've been looking at cases like the NZXT Rogue and the Coolermaster Ammo for portability, but can't seem to sell myself on the idea of being able to transport this kind of stuff on a daily basis.
Am I doomed to buy 2 seperate systems? A small quiet laptop for audio and a Mid-Tower case for gaming? Has anyone come across the same conflict of interest and found something I'm not thinking of?
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
