That's exactly why ROG offers mini-ITX motherboards, which cram all the essential features into a low-footprint board for small-form-factor builds. Whether you're loyal to AMD or Intel, ROG has a mini-ITX board built for your console-sized desktop.
No two gamers define "compact" the same way, and that's exactly why ROG offers more than one path to a smaller setup. If you want elite performance the moment you take it out of the box, the ROG NUC 16 packs a powerful gaming PC into three liters. If you'd rather build your own system from the ground up, ROG Strix mini-ITX motherboards give you the platform to do it. And if compact means portable above all else, the ROG XBOX Ally puts real gaming power in the palm of your hand. Whatever kind of small-form-factor PC best suits your needs, there’s an ROG offering built to match.
Some of you want to go DIY and choose every PC part yourself, and with good reason: building your own mini-ITX PC around an ROG motherboard means you get to decide exactly how compact, and exactly how powerful, your next gaming PC will be. While the NUC offers an ROG-certified pint-sized powerhouse, building a custom tiny rig gives you the freedom to build a stronger, and possibly even quieter, PC. If you want to go as compact as possible, it doesn't get much smaller than the NUC, but if you want top-tier performance in a console-sized chassis, mini-ITX builds are in a league all their own.
ROG offers a compact gaming PC for every one of those situations. Whether you're looking for a tiny pre-built powerhouse, the components to build your own mini-ITX rig, or a gaming PC that fits in a bag, there's an ROG option built for your priorities.
With the ROG NUC 16, ROG is pushing compact gaming machines to new extremes and raising the bar for mini PC engineering.
Or you can opt for the more powerful ROG XBOX Ally X and ROG XBOX Ally X20, where the compact battlestation options really open up. These models can connect to an external GPU like the ROG XG Mobile, giving you battlestation-grade performance wherever and whenever you need it. This combo can perform similarly to a NUC setup, though you get the added benefit of being able to detach your handheld when you want to game on the go.
The XBOX Ally handhelds are also happy to grow with you. Their M.2 2280 storage is easily swappable if you need more room for your library, and they can easily dock to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse whenever you want to use them in a desktop-like setup. This is one of the many ways you can supercharge your XBOX Ally experience. If your idea of a compact gaming PC is one that fits in the smallest of backpacks, this is it.
