    SideArmD SA4 case, CNC + AIO + 9.35L

    Wow, when I saw SaperPL's reply that was my thought too, that CNC would blow the cost out of whack compared to stamping. And it's again, insane stuff like this where you kill yourself in terms of details gone into compatibility which blows me away.

    SideArmD SA4 case, CNC + AIO + 9.35L

    Does just admitting that I'm pretty much a mega fan of your cases having already owned 3 of the Ncase M1s, still holding onto them *and* still appreciating all the effort into the details to two of you did for it count as feedback? I have been lurking and just looking at all the other concepts...

    NCASE M1 Softshell Carry Bag for community

    Sorry Wahaha for going off topic, I noticed that you are replying to this thread. Was it you or Necere who's based in Portland? I'm in Portland OR now (I come here 3 to 4 times annually). Bringing a full powered desktop such as the NCase and DAN A4 has been my dream for the longest time and I've...

    NCASE M1 Softshell Carry Bag for community

    Chx, Thanks so much for your post. I feel like the biggest idiot pretty much barking up the same tree after you have already done such extensive research and gone through so much experience yourself. I have the GeChic 1303H and 1503H right now and was just looking at the AOC slims... Then I saw...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Hi Jack, I have an similar setup to you, in the sense that I'm currently using the 1503 and 1303 GeChic portable monitors to work with my A4-SFX. They are both too big for any bag which fits the A4 snugly. :arghh::cry: I would have suggested yet another bag but...it's pricey and would allow...

    GB-BXi5G-760 - Gigabyte Brix Gaming w/ Nvidia "GeForce 760"

    Wow Cerulean, Thanks for the pictures and review! I'm dead certain I ain't going anywhere near any Brix machines until I prepare myself with 7 years of sleeping with a hair dryer running for 24/7. :D I really like the improvement where they give you a USB installation stick. Mine came with a...

    Debating on building a SFF for home and travel. Advice?

    Hi Brules, I'm thinking of the same method for the CPU, NHL9 Noctua with another 12" Noctua fan sucking cool air in, except I wouldn't have the PSU sucking air out, the PSU fan and the CPU fan would be in opposite direction and it would create way too much turbulence instead. The GPU is...

    Debating on building a SFF for home and travel. Advice?

    Hi Brules, The TU100 is the same exact case I have been researching! It's alu, smaller than the M1 and has a handle which would allow me to carry it easily. And for all product quality purposes it's the very guy who built the M1. My main concern is heat dissipation. Will it handle a 970...

    Debating on building a SFF for home and travel. Advice?

    subspeed, jambo, Is weight of any concern to you guys at all? Desktops are fine and dandy but with the maximum allowable carry on being about 7-8 kilos at some airports, wouldn't the rig itself go beyond? I'm currently in Western Australia and they can be *really* <insert your censored word...

    Debating on building a SFF for home and travel. Advice?

    >.< This is so painful. Ever since I joined HardOCP due to the Ncase M1...I have built 3 desktops this year. Terrible addiction. I've got myself the M1 and am very very satisfied with it as a desktop, best case I have ever built with. [Former Silverstone and Shuttle nut] But the awesome power...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Thanks invidious94. I thought I was the only one who could hear coil whine and I was wondering whether I was the extremely unlucky individual. Our setups are very different with the only two things being remotely similar being an Asus MB and a Sammy SSD. I've placed the system away from me...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    There are two 12" fans at the bottom of the case. They may not help much since the GPU is so large it has blocked them in the entirety...I can switch them off in BIOS to see if it makes a difference. No issues so far but if you want me to stress it with OCCP or Furmark I'd do it this evening...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    I'm no expert. But somehow Forge sounds best. DAN is the most unique in case you want a name which isn't a verb/noun. But hey it's your product and brand, call it what you want most. :cool:

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I hope this is the correct place to add on to the probably thousands of guys who've already thanked Necere and Wahaha360. Just built my machine over the weekend and it was the complete opposite of what I expected for such an "advance" case. I've never assembled a system so quickly. [My...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Hi dondan, The site looks clean and pleasant. Your branding called C-Forge kinda looks like E-Forge with the strikethrough on your logo. I think it sounds really nice if you simply called it "Forge" but from a branding perspective it's going to be difficult using just a simple verb/noun...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Thanks Phuncz, backfeed, Synomenon, Wisk, Yeah it's still within the 7 day exchange period so I was thinking of spending the effort and money to return it. [Will cost me about 10% of the PSU for a return trip] What if the retailer cannot hear it and insists that coil whine is acceptable. [this...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Hi is anyone here who owns the SX600G experiencing coil whine? I heard it the moment I powered up. The power supply is really wonderful looking;it's really small and the fan doesn't spin up. But...the coil whine. The high pitch changes frequency with and without load but I can hear them all...

    GB-BXi5G-760 - Gigabyte Brix Gaming w/ Nvidia "GeForce 760"

    Hi dondan, There has been another article with the Brix Pro on another site where the reviewer took off the heatsink and concluded that they've done a pretty good job with the thermal paste and re-pasting may not do much to it. The heat problems with the Brix Pro are particularly...

    Gigabyte BRIX compatibility question

    I hope you have a good experience with your Brix. Do tell us of how it went! I bought the Brix Pro but the system kept hitting dangerous heat levels which caused throttling and sounded like a hair dryer permanently switched on. Really interested in how a fanless system would go. [I am...

    New Emulation Mini-ITX/NUC build

    I can definitely attest to the brix pro being too loud. Thing runs like a hair dryer for almost anything you start beyond the desktop in idle mode. Really frustrated with it...Was looking forward to such micro systems.

    NCASE M1 picture and build general log

    35°C is inside the housing shade. :) In a full blown summer where you get 40-45 under a shaded tree, that's when things get cooking. :eek: The AIO coolers changed the game for an "I've only ever used screwdrivers" individual like myself. It's almost like a mini A/C unit which doesn't eat...

    NCASE M1 picture and build general log

    Tom, I'll be following your build really closely. You are going for almost exactly what I am gunning for... - 4xxxk series chip. [I'd like to overclock to 4.2-4.5 without spending hours fiddling and just use BIOS features to do the work.] - R290 [I ought to be shot for this since I never...

    NCASE M1 picture and build general log

    Hi Phuncz, May I know your environment temperature? I've been looking at a lot of AIO water cooling solutions because the average indoor temperature will be between 30 to 35 degree celcius during summer. It's always a major bummer.

    Cutting Costs in my new system

    Hi MeowMeow, I hope you do not mind if I used your thread to ask Phuncz a couple of questions...I wanted a similar build to yours a few months back and was obsessed about the quietest build which could hit 4.2-4.5GHz and a GTX 770 or 280X card. I'll just copy your build which Phuncz wrote...
