    Hey there! I travel from home to school and I also game obviously. I am in need of a compact/portable gaming PC which is capable of giving me high performance. So far I have come across the revolt 2 and maingear drift. How do these look to you and would you recommend me any other compact gaming PCs? I am basically looking for high performance in a compact, easy to transport form. Thanks!

    If you're travelling a lot and are looking for the most compact system, why aren't you looking at gaming laptops?

    maybe not that a lot of travelling but he wants to bring the pc with him whenever he goes back home so maybe a couple times per year or less. My situation is also somewhat the same but I ended up getting a gaming laptop.

    What's your budget and target performance (1080p 60fps?)

    I second that...it will be easier to move around and since your going from school to home a Gaming Desktop will be alot of work to travel with. So Save up and get a Gaming Laptop or do a Custom Game laptop and save some money there. That is what I am going to try to plan for myself if cash reserves permits me so.
