Watch PCWorld build a pair of SFF video production PCs!

Video production requires some serious power, but that doesn’t mean your PC has to be a massive RGB-laden behemoth. Adam Patrick Murray and Alex Esteves are looking to shrink down their PC footprint with two of the most stylish small form factor cases on the market. You can watch the whole thing, start to finish, on our YouTube channel.

Adam’s AMD-based build is going in the brand new Fractal Design Mood, a vertical SFF case that was revealed at Computex. Alex’s Intel machine is a little more conventional in the SSUPD Meshroom S, which is all about maximum airflow in a tiny 14.9-liter space. Both of them are getting some serious parts in there despite the small dimensions and might need some PC building expertise to fit everything in.

The full double-machine build is just over three hours long — a great background video if you happen to be building your own PC, or I dunno, assembling some Ikea furniture. Give it a watch to see how the pros build itty-bitty and subscribe to PCWorld on YouTube if you want to see more live builds.
