    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    USPS shows that my case was processed through a Polish facility on June 12, but the current state is that it still shows 'origin post is preparing shipment.' This is disappointing.

    GHOST S1 - When both size & performance matters

    The case in page 2 looks like it was made in shop class. If that is the only prototype, that is worrying.

    GHOST S1 - When both size & performance matters

    Is it confirmed that if we fund from USA that we will get 25% refunded? That would be $49 for the super early bird. Is there any info on specifically what the hats can hold? I'm specifically interested to know how many 3.5" drives can fit in the different hat types, but I'd like to know all the...

    Is it possible to request additional HDD brackets at this time or will that be done later?

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    They already have the L9x65 - if they weren't going lower than that, I don't see why they wouldn't have just suggested that. "Hopefully" is only vague in terms of timeline, not eventuality.

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    The noctua AM4 bracket is not compatible with the L9a/L9i, but noctua has said that they are working on a low-profile AM4 cooler that should be out in the coming weeks. Given that there are no ITX boards yet, these upcoming low-profile noctua AM4 coolers should satisfy people who are merely...

    node 202 build

    I wonder if flipping the fan so it exhausts would be better for the GPU.

    Anyone research SFF cases for APU (NO GPU)?

    $90 is not the starting price for mATX cases. That's a straw man. For mATX, you can easily find cases for $20-30 and good ATX power supplies can often be had for $30. I love ITX and my last three PC cases have been ITX, but to say they are the best value is just not true.

    Anyone research SFF cases for APU (NO GPU)?

    It's still more expensive. It's not the best value.

    Anyone research SFF cases for APU (NO GPU)?

    Small usually carries a price premium. The power supplies are more expensive, the boards are more expensive, the cases are more expensive. If you're going tiny ITX, you will likely be spending more for most parts over an mATX or ATX build.

    Silverstone PT13 - thin ITX (won't fit AM4) - 1.41L Silverstone VT01 - mini STX (won't fit AM4) - 1.53L Mini-Box M350 - standard ITX (will fit AM4) - 2.5L Antec ISK 110 - standard ITX (will fit AM4) - 3.7L NFC S4 Mini - standard ITX (will fit AM4) - 4.5L (can fit 1070) Nice link...

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    I would quickly fund this in full copper, but 2000 units seems like it would be impossible to reach - especially when considering that this wouldn't work in other cases like the Node 202 or Sentry. The denser the fins are, the louder it will be, so I don't think it is so smart to go so dense.

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

    Ah I can't wait until we get a readily-available heatsink that is bigger than the L9 that will fit.

    Why is everyone so excited about the AXP-100 copper if it requires serious modding to fit?

    My tracking still shows it's in Germany. I used to think DHL was fast because everything that ships DHL from China gets to me in like three days, but I guess they can be extremely slow.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I'm really curious if the MSI 1070 would fit in the Sentry. I imagine that it would not, but if it would, then this will definitely be the card for my Sentry.

    Inverse: A Highly Versatile Steam-Box Design

    I backed it, just like I backed the Sentry, Dancases, and NCASE, but it doesn't look like this one will get funded. It seems like they didn't do as much testing as they should have. I don't see why they wouldn't have tons of different mounting holes so you can run different configurations of...

    NUC vs STX. What am I missing?

    NUCs generally use low-wattage (15W) dual-core U parts. There are some exceptions, but usually those are even lower-wattage parts. Intel does make a quad-core 45W nuc, but it is extremely expensive. STX can use any socketed parts including unlocked K parts. STX can use custom cooling so you can...

    Inverse: A Highly Versatile Steam-Box Design

    Is this the most up-to-date rendering? How can you mount any drives to the mobo side next to the psu if there are no mounts? Are there more pics of different test builds that have been done beyond what's on rationalbananas?

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

    Thermolab (Cooltek) LP53 review

    Most people own a grinder, but the risk is too high without having experience, knowing how deep to go, knowing what height to go, etc.

    I ordered one from ebay, but they are so much cheaper from europe if someone can find a reasonable shipper. I'm going to need to order another one.

    It's not looking good for the funding. Needs some more publicity... If you don't meet the funding goal, is the case going to be scrapped or can you do a smaller run?

    Project Orthrus - Smallest SLI mATX case (V2)

    I imagine this has already been suggested, but couldn't you have rotated the PSU and put it on the mobo side to cut down on the height of the case? Might lose one of the front fans, but the case would be much smaller.

    Will there be any white cases available after launch? Why isn't there a white case option for long run?

    Smallest possible 3.5" HDD mini-ITX case?

    It is my experience that blowers will be louder and result in worse gaming performance even in a case with no fans. They should only be used when you care more about temps than performance.

    I paid over $280 after shipping. You guys really want to buy one off someone for that + shipping +?

    Noctua L9i will be quieter than the Cryorig C7, but it will have worse temps.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    What was the "oversized" card that was tested and is known to fit? In the configuration tool, it shows a 170mm oversized card - what card was that? The GTX 970 ITX? By Gigabyte or ASUS?

    SG05: Switching to an air CPU cooler

    If you care about temps that much, you are probably better off going with a bigger air cooler like the BeQuiet Shadow Rock LP or a Scythe option.
