I have Sentry 1.0, and run it horizontal with a 1070 blower. With custom fan curve, 1070 fan does get a little loud under heavy gaming once temps go above 50c. Other than that, no issues.

LOL on fish tank. Nailed it. Still rocking my FT-05, love it. Stuffed that giant 3 slot MSI Gaming X 2070super in there with no problems. It came with a flimsy cheap plastic bracket that you're supposed to screw in the slot right below the GPU to prevent sag. The FT-05 laughed in it's face...

I feel like this thread is not getting enough love. Only page 4? what is wrong with everyone? :panda: My Sentry 1.0 is still going strong, have no need for Sentry 2.0, but thinking about buying another one just to support Saper and Zombi.

Non issue. My Samsung 960 M.2 is sitting on the back of the mobo and it's been fine, no thermal pads or any of that nonsense.

Use a small screwdriver or something similar. Insert it into the gap and use the shaft of the screwdriver to torque that slot a little bit upward. (Be very careful not to hit anything on your mobo) You need to loosen up the gap a little bit, a few mm is all you need, just torque the top bar of...

No, the gpu port side of the riser car is not supposed to hit the bottom part of the slot. It needs to go INSIDE that rectangular slot. The rectangular slot for the riser is very tight. I posted about it on my build thread a few pages back. Here is what i did to get the gpu port side of the...

Some crappy cellphone potato pics of the Sentry in my tv cabinet. I can't get over how tiny it is compared to the cable box and my Marantz receiver! It looks so sleek and sexy. Gotta say thanks again to Saper and Zombie for all their hard work, it's been a long wait, but totally worth it.

Can't speak for others, but I didn't even notice it when i put on the cooler. Was too busy worrying about routing cables, so mine is in the bad horizontal orientation with opening towards ram due to not paying attention and not on purpose. hah Although to be honest, it might only make a few...

Finished the build! Not my first ITX build, but the tiny confines of the case did have me banging my head against the wall a couple times. The riser card was also a pain in the butt to get seated properly in PCI slot. Needed to walk away from the case a couple times to avoid pulling out my hair...

Getting the riser card slotted into the rectangular hole properly: Just to expand on this - what worked for me: Before inserting the riser card into the hole, take a long screwdriver and stick it through the riser hole and torque that skinny flat piece of metal a little bit. Don't use the blade...

So i have an Asus motherboard, and it has one of those nice Q-cable (front panel) extender/quick disconnect cables. This thing: https://dlcdnimgs.asus.com/websites/global/products/b0824fxzvaoAOIyb/Q_Cable.jpg Makes it easier to plug in Power led+, Power led-, and Power SW front panel cables on...

Got all my parts, started building. Damn M2 screws are tiny. Saper: Ran into first tiny issue/annoyance - I'm building in horizontal orientation. The little rubber feet don't feel very secure. 1 out of the 4 feet keeps falling out of it's hole every time I move the case. I've tried spreading...

I don't know what any of those words mean ... :) Looks like newegg got some stock today for Asus turbo, snagged one before they ran out of stock again. Amazon doesn't even have estimate for when they will get stock again.

Gtx 1070 blower is like unobtanium. No stock anywhere. Boo-urns.

Case #141 arrived yesterday afternoon! (SoCal) Black bag on outside had some small tears, but exterior box underneath black bag was perfect. No dents or holes. Interior/retail box is beautiful. Never thought I'd say that about a brown cardboard box lol. You can tell the attention to detail...
