    I'm an idiot. I have no idea why I didn't think about that!

    Are there any M.2 3x3 1300mbps wifi cards?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will take a look at that adapter, but maybe I'll wait and see what intel is coming up with on the 9260. I too saw something from intel but as you said, couldn't find much on it.

    Are PG279Q Monitors still a gamble?

    I got a really good one. There was a tiny amount of bleed (I mean TINY) in the upper left corner. However I pressed on the plastc shell a little bit and it went away. It's an AWESOME monitor!

    Are there any M.2 3x3 1300mbps wifi cards?

    I was originally going to go the hackintosh route and build my PC with an Apple Card BCM94360CD which is 3x3 AC for 1300mbps and bluetooth compared to my Asus Z170i's 2x2 867mpbs. I do a lot of transfers to and from my NAS and would like good local wifi lan speeds. I ordered the mini...

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

    The stock card is only max 867Mbps. If you add a 3x3 mimo you can get 1300Mbps if you have a supporting routing (which I do Netgear R7000). I do a lot of transfers to and from my NAS so the faster the better. I also was thinking of going hackintosh route, so I ended up with the Broadcom...

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

    I just put the PC together and I'm not a big PC modder. I'll have to research the different stress test applications. However I will be REMOVING the rear case fan as my upgraded wifi card will not fit with that fan.

    Here is my almost finished build (I'm replacing the wifi card and hoping someone will swap me for silver panels). I tried my best with the cable management but this is the best I could do with the included power cables: Specs: Case: NCase M1 CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core...

    I'll post here again as the marketplace requires 100 post to make a sales thread, but if anyone is up for an even trade for my black panels with ODD for your silver ODD, send me a PM. Please ignore the finger prints, I was rushing last night to get the machine built in order to get the free win...

    Help with Win 7 950 Pro Install with the Asus Z170i?

    Well I was able to "patch" my win 7 installer from this video: Then install the USB stick into a 2.0 port and I was able to install on my SATA drive. Got 7 installed and now I'm downloading the windows 10 upgrade. It's taking forever as I guess there are a lot of last minute upgrades. Once...

    Help with Win 7 950 Pro Install with the Asus Z170i?

    I caved and went home and got the sata power cable, I got a sata drive installed and windows won't see that drive either. However when I search for drivers, I can see the SATA drive.

    Help with Win 7 950 Pro Install with the Asus Z170i?

    I only have the M.2 drive installed in this pc. I put it together last night but the seller who I bought the case from (and the DVD drive) didn't include the mini sata adapter, so I brought the PC into work with me as I have a USB DVD drive. I have a spare 2.5 drive, but I left the power supply...

    Help with Win 7 950 Pro Install with the Asus Z170i?

    I'm in the process of slipping all of the drivers from the motherboard DVD onto the windows ISO and will burn them to a DVD and see if that works. Sadly I have no other PC with an M.2 slot so I hope this works.

    Help with Win 7 950 Pro Install with the Asus Z170i?

    I can't install Windows 10 as I don't have a license. I want to use the free upgrade. I'm downloading microsoft AIK to try and load the drivers. Thanks.

    Help with Win 7 950 Pro Install with the Asus Z170i?

    I'm trying to get Windows 7 to install on my M.2 950 Pro with an Asus Z170i Pro Gaming motherboard. When I boot to the DVD to install windows, it boots fine from the USB DVD drive, but when I get into windows installer, it can't find the driver. I have the driver on a USB stick, but windows...

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

    Agreed. It's easy to make something smaller when using custom motherboard/graphics card and external power supply, but the dan case uses off the shelf components with everything inside the case ;).

    Strange question, but would there be anyone willing to swap panels? I've got a black ODD case coming and would rather have a silver ODD. Thanks.

    Shouldn't they be anodized, not powder coated since it's aluminum?

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

    This may have been addressed somewhere in the rest of the the read, but does anyone make higher quality plugs for the rear water line ports? The rubber looks kinda crappy and I'd like to see if there is a higher quality plug that can be purchased. Thanks!

    I talked with Ruzeki over on pcpartspicker, and he seems to think that mounting the exhaust fan on the case is best. However as you can see with his pic here: The distance is so close it might not make that much difference.

    Are PG279Q Monitors still a gamble?

    This is how I'm feeling right now after checking out on Amazon for my PG279Q: However it's now July 2016, is the back light bleed still an issues? If I end with with a bad monitor, is it best to return to amazon or go through ASUS for an RMA? This thing is heavy and I don't want to pay tons...

    Agreed. I'm also over thinking this. My case won't be here until August so I've got much longer flip flop on ideas. Not sure if this was posted here, or if you saw it on reddit, but a user over there fit his 1070 Seahawk with a few photos:

    Oh now you ask that ;) That's when I ended up with after your recommendation, which seems to be a good one because that seems to be the quietest fan out there. Though you can't deny the appeal of dual rads in such a small chassis.
