    Place to get Noctua fans in bulk?

    Anyone know of a place that sells Noctua fans by the case or in bulk? I need about 16 and it would be nice if I could find somewhere that did a bulk discount.

    Glass tubing

    I bought a ton of it along with a bunsen burner to experiment with. I also bought a setup to apply pressure while bending so that my tubes don't kink. I haven't actually gotten around to trying to bend it yet though as I've been too busy. If you do go with glass, buy it from a glass supplier not...

    To Water Cool or not to Water Cool

    Any idea how vulnerable glass tubing is to cracking compare to acrylic?

    Both Performance-PCs and ModMyMods have been great for me

    RTX2080 and RTX2080Ti Reviews online

    Well reference cards do tend to be better if your watercooling since that is what most of the waterblocks are designed for. Doesn't stop the cards from being crazy overpriced though.

    What resolution do you game at?

    I voted 4k since that is what I would like to be gaming at and I have a 4k monitor, just I'm also running a 970. My plan was to update to a new card to get 60fps at 4k with the new generation of cards but I'm still waiting on benchmarks.

    Glass tubing suppliers

    There are two ways to cut it. The first is to use a glass tube cutter. This scores the glass and then you break it at the scoring point. The second way is is to use a diamond cutting disk on a dremel, when doing this also want to use a respirator as glass dust is exceptionally bad for you...

    Glass tubing suppliers

    Here you go and here is a second source for 14mm. It's like $4 for 60 inches and you get to choose your ID It's interesting to me that when switching from a PC specific vendor to a general glass vendor, glass tubing goes from being one of the more expensive forms of tubing to one of the...

    Glass tubing suppliers

    When doing borosilicate glass tubing for a hard line system, is there any particular reason to buy it from PC specific water cooling manufacturers like alphacool or mayhem? It seems like all the tubing offered by the standard water cooling manufacturers is about 3x as expensive or more as buying...

    Help me choose a case

    I have this case. I really like it and would be glad to answer any questions on it. I can say though that it's very similar to the View 71 just with a few extras and a slightly different aesthetic. This is how both a GTX360 and GTX 420 fit into the case. I'm waiting for my fittings to come in...

    Ray Tracing - Game Changer or Overhyped?

    I want to vote for both. I think the RTXs implementation of ray tracing is over hyped and doesn't add that much but if we ever get full real time ray tracing it will be freaking amazing. It's possible the the RTXs raytracing has possibilities but I think we need to wait for a generation or two...

    Cases that support a 480mm rad

    They're still around. If you really want to get crazy you can configure their ascension cases to support 5x480mm rads and 2x360mm rads.

    Help me choose a case

    In that case I would go for the Lian Li. I had the V3000's predecessor the V2000 and it was very nice. The aluminum construction on the Lian lis is always top notch. If

    GN has a review of the Thermaltake Level 20 VT (TG / mATX cube)

    That would make sense, the Level 20 GT is basically a slightly modified view 71.
