Off-the-shelf cases that come to my mind are the Antec ISK-300/310-150 and the SilverStone ML06(-e).

I've thought about cramping storage in the A4. Easiest way is to cramp multiple 2.5" 9mm 2TB drives without using the bracket, and use SFX PSU to maximum the bottom space. When the 15mm Spinpoint M10p 4TB drives are out, it's also possible to use those. I'd pool the drives with Stablebit into...

You literally have no idea what you are talking about. It's just a rectangular piece of metal with two screws. As for the actual complexity and manpower required to test a piece of metal with two screw and installing it, only Dan can answer that. Lian Li is in charge of making the cases anyway.

That's probably the only flaw with that motherboard. They just need to make triangle shaped walls for support but they just leave it attached only at one end for no good reason.

I see it on my unit as well. It happens when the fan is on the threshold voltage between starting and stopping. As for the ticking (rattling), I heard it occasionally during the first two weeks, and it's been quiet ever since.

It's to keep out the big creepy crawlies. It's important for some of us. The extra cost is most likely negligible. It's a one-time removal if you dislike it. It might be a problem if you have OCD and are forced to put it on even if you don't need it, because otherwise it won't be a complete...

I don't get why anyone is against the extra plate cover though. It's in no way detrimental to the current design and you can remove it if you want airflow.

I guess so but it's an unrealistic request, so I'd at least like my case not to have an entrance for cockroaches, house lizards or big spiders. :)

I brought it up because some of us live in regions where creepy crawlies in the house is unavoidable.

Is there a plate cover for the GPU screw area's hole, like for the M1?

Extra width will actually be detrimental to cooling with 2-slot cards, as the extra space will cause the recycling of hot air.

I guess there are pros and cons. The Gechic weighs less than 800grams. You can theoretically buy two Gechic screens and still get very compact space. But there will be a hole in your wallet. There's also the AOC line of extremely light and flat screens if you can still find them. They weigh a...

New portable monitor from Gechic: http://www.gechic.com/product_help_en.asp?s=27 HDMI connection, not some DisplayLink crap.

I had a case whereby my AIO cooler applied too much pressure on the CPU if I screw the block fully in, causing it to not post. It's probably not what's happening to you, though.

He kept doing the chef's handsign.
