Still on the lookout, any leads would be awesome!

bobby45512 Maybe someone will happen to know him. Looks like he use to play paintball, or maybe he'll actually get a notification.

Great minds think alike. I've done that and found a few, but all are dormant since about the same time. Though I did message a couple recently, maybe I'll get lucky.

Yeah, I had a guy message me back like 5 years ago saying he had like 2 or 3, but I had forgotten to check here for a while and missed it. He asn't logged in for almost 4 years. I've messaged him a bunch, but I don't think hardforums sends like email notifications so I doubt he's seen them.

still looking!!

Are you happy with it as an upgrade? I've been eyeballing it for a bit. I have a 1080ti as well and wasn't sure if it is really worth the effort. Couple videos I saw seeming to imply a ~15% jump.

I looked for a beige one, and found a few, but they were either out of stock or like oddly expensive. But that is something I've thought about, will have to see how close to beige I can find.

I've done a TON of research about ways to improve airflow without making obvious external visuals. There is JUST enough height (82.5mm) in the 2 5.25 bays that I could mount an 80mm fan there, and I actually did for a while. But I didn't like the mesh look in the bay. It made it more obvious...

I do have to admit that is a reproduction. geekenspiel on eBay made that, along with the windows 98 and AMD K6 sticker. But they are all correct to the case, before someone removed them years ago. I compared pictures to get the correct badges. (well, the Y2K is at least period correct, lol)

That rear fan was on the heat sink. That cooler was a Cryorig H7, shortest 120mm tower cooler, and it JUST BARELY fit. I didn't have an AM4 mounting kit for it and went a different route. I'm now running a noctua NH-U9S, little shorter with 2 92mm fans. For the feet, I have added spacers to...

I have an older GTX 1080 ti I'm still squeezing life out of, pushing a 3440x1440 monitor. My case is a bit restrictive, it's an old Packard Bell Windows 98, retro sleeper idea (an older build is pictured, now it's 5600x, 16gb, 1080ti, case is the same). The only intake fan is a 120mm I added at...

I actually found all the stickers and decals on ebay for only a few bucks, they are reproductions, geekenspiel I think is the seller's name. I'm sure real ones are more then I'd like to pay. That hole is on the bottom actually, as an intake. I thought about top cut out, but like you said, it...

Yeah my case has about 115mm cpu cooler limit. I'm running the NH-D9L, at about 110mm. It honestly is a champ. My delidded 4790k ran at 4.8 for years in that case. The 1U seasonic PSU I have ran silent (no fan) unless it was under heavy load. I can honestly say I don't ever remember noticing...

Thanks man, I has been solid so far. The Cryorig H7 (cooler pictured) doesn't hold up quite as well as my old Scythe Mugen, but so far temps while gaming haven't peaked more then like low 70's so I think I'm good. But if I have troubles I could always put a 120mm AIO cooler mounted on the bottom...

A while back I saw a picture of someone else doing a sleeper style build and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I eventually found this PERFECT Packard Bell case. It's all basically standard formats, mATX mobo, ATX PSU, etc. So the 'build' was rather straight forward. It has zero case fans...
