    Hey everyone, I recently added a 1050 ti low profile card to my tiny gaming PC (this one: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TOC-4GL#kf). There was enough space that I removed the small fan and hooked up a pair of Noiseblocker 80x15mm fans to a splitter off the fan header on the...

    HTPC Case - APU with internal PSU

    Anyone have any good suggestions for a small case to use with an APU? I like a lot of half height mITX cases but I really don't like that so many require an external power brick. Anything good with a TFX power supply, or room that I could at least put the power brick INSIDE the case?

    Blower coolers

    Hi all - SFF PC user here. I've currently got a GTX 780 in an Ncase M1. The GTX 780 is the stock nVidia design (I guess they call those "FE" these days) and is a blower style cooler to keep the heat out of the rest of the case. I no longer have a 1080p (well, 1200p 16x10) monitor and my 1400p...

    770 vs 780

    So I'll be putting together a new system in a few months based around the NCASE M1. That would be mini-itx. Most likely getting a 4770k as the CPU as nothing will likely be coming out more powerful by then. For the GPU I'm deciding between a 770 or 780. The case designer suggests getting a...
