    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I’m an engineer and when talking to other engineers that ask about my pc case, I always bring up that it’s powder coated steel. I get many a delighted look and appreciation for the build quality. One of the reasons I bought the sentry so fast (case serial #0019). This thing is solid. Fly with it...

    Oh yeah, just realized you can see in the monitor reflection where my life jacket and safety suit is (green signs) haha. Rubber feet on the sentry never slipped either. I keep the vertical stand at home. Quick question SaperPL, I lost 2 of the little rubber feet on the vertical stand when...

    I have the GeChic 1503i and couldn’t be happier. It’s 1080p 60fps IPS. Takes mini HDMI and usb C for power. Slim enough to slide in my bag next to my sentry and not jut out. I’ve flown probably a dozen times with it this year and haven’t had any issues. They make a touchscreen and non touch...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I fly to and from work every four weeks with my sentry and a gechic portable monitor in my backpack. Mostly flying domestic US but have had to go international to Bahamas before. 9 our of 10 times I haven’t even had to take it out of my bag for the X-ray (I have TSA precheck in the US which...

    Quick question, probably been answered before. I have an asrock fatal1ty z270 in my Sentry. Has anyone done custom cable lengths and if so can you share your lengths?

    My build made it into the update. That's super cool! Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. I've been using you in conversation as an example of how a crowdfunding campaign should be done. Really appreciate the transparency with all the updates and the achievement of delivering a quality product...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Hey Guys!, so I was in the first batch of black Sentry's (number 019), but of course had to leave for work for 5 weeks and my Sentry arrived 3 days after I left. Had some tearing on the plastic and a small hole on the outer box but no damage to the case box. I'll add to the praise of how nice...

    I can't get a picture right now, but I just used some copper wire to attach the fan to the lp53. Feed it through and around a heat pipe, then leave yourself slack and get a couple twists, then snip off the excess. It lines up pretty easy and wasn't hard to do. It's very secure on there and has...

    I have a 3D printer. Has anyone made printable files for sentry? I'm not super great at modeling, but would look into printing a few parts for shrouds and things if it helps. I'm curious if making a funnel for a FE card would help temps and also act as a support for the card when transporting...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I believe I saw your mention and had been looking at it too. So I figured I'd post my "review" here. It really is a great monitor and was worried about the price but have found them on sale on Amazon a couple time for about $50-$100 off. It was either go with this or mod an old laptop monitor to...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    According to that website the MB16AC is USB type C power and video signal, not display port =\ There are definitely cheaper options than the GeChic that use USB video, but for hdmi from the graphics card and being a dedicated display, not a USB second display, it has been working well as my sole...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Hey guys, a while back the question of portable monitors came up and I wanted to throw in my 2 cents on the topic. Recently I got the GeChic 1503i and I think if you have a Sentry, then it's the perfect travel monitor. TLDR: 9.5/10, excellent travel monitor Display: IPS 1080p. I've been...

    Same exact situation happened to me, and this morning I just got a notification from usps that it's stateside. Plug the Polska tracking number into usps tracking and see if yours shows up there. Mine did.
