I mistakenly purchased a 240mm EK PE rad for my new build, when I meant to buy a 280. Been compiling parts for my build for a few weeks so I didn't realize it was the wrong size until after it was painted. Perfect for a white build, or gently wet sand use the white as primer and paint it...
Since the hilarious crash of the cryptocurrency hardware market, you can buy multi-X1 boards and risers for cheap. I'm curious of your thoughts on using a combination of PCIE X1 to SATA adaptors and X1 10Gbit NICs on hardware like this? Anyone tried it?
For example: 18 slot X1 board, 15 risers...

Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey has written a guide to modding the Oculus Go. The first mods that he performed were to change the color of the HMD from grey to black to cut down on the amount of reflected light on the optics. The next phase of modding involved removing all unnecessary weight to...
Hey guys (and gals)!! First timer here at hard forums, and I just had a few questions and I was hoping to run into someone who has experience. It seems that the customary thing to do is list specs (Sry I think I've only ever posted a handful of times in my life) so here they are:

I recently had an LSI 9211 SAS card die on me and i'm fairly sure it's because cooling was inadequate. Despite the whole internet telling me they need decent airflow, I decided to chance it in a tiny case (U-NAS NSC-800) with limited airflow. So while a replacement (LSI 9207-8i) is en route, i'm...
Custom PC builder and modder Designs By IMFACEROLL was sponsored by Ubisoft to build a custom PC for Far Cry 5, and he did an outstanding job. The case is designed to resemble one of the barns found in Far Cry 5, and not 1 detail is missing. Check out the time lapse video of the build, with an...
Hi!
I've been peeking on the forum for months now, reading threads on S1, S4, A4, Sentry and many other great, community based projects. In fact I've been working on a project on my own, and I finally got the courage to present it to you. I'd really appreciate an honest feedback. Due to the...
I'm trying to make my own lit power indicator for my case, ideally connected to the LED headers on the mobo. The whole assembly is going to be like a long recessed slot, so I wanted to put one white LED at each end facing down the slot.
The problem I'm having is that I can't find any in white...

Due to a change in plans, I have reluctantly decided to sell my Dan A4 custom modified case. I did consider keeping this in storage as it is such an awesome case, but felt that would be a shame for...
Hey all. I've been looking to build a dual 2011-3 system for a while. I have a couple of systems crunching already, but this one is going to be special. I'm retiring my 1366 main system this year after almost 8 years of faithful service. This new rig will not only be crunching for WCG, but...

Case fan: 120mm or 92mm mounting holes, will...
Valve is opening up its Vive VR trackers to custom hardware
Pretty cool...probably could see Touch-like controllers on the Vive. Definitely more reason to pick up a Vive.
Hello everyone,
I am looking into getting a gaming pc/console to link up with a 1080p tv, and play games mainly from Steam.
I have looked into the Alienware Alpha at 799$, a customised Syber machine or getting the parts and building it from scratch. What would you recommend?
Syber customised...
