There's a long line.I really want a Sentry. Can I please buy one?

Any sentry user ordered a vega?
I wonder blower fan design or open air design would be better in the sentry
I have no idea because I haven't received my sentry yet....It's been more than two months since shipped
My system has been naked on a cardboard for quite a while now
So in general a blower design is preferable in sentry right?Well if you're genuinely interested in Vega, it seems the Vega 56 is the way to go. 90% the performance for only 80% the price and a good bit less power draw (and heat). That said all the reviews have clearly indicated that the 56 is artificially power limited through the stock bios. AIB partner cards (hopefully there will be a few good blowers too) will likely have custom bios that allow for more power and more OC headroom. At any rate the reference Vega 56 seems to be a good card and would probably be fine in Sentry. The 64 though? Meh. Marginally more performance with tons more power and heat.
So in general a blower design is preferable in sentry right?
I've already ordered a 64 I don't mind the power draw at all. Really want to own some thing balls to the wall (well at least it is to AMD) for once.
The thing is, non reference blower design is quite rare on AMD cards. (can't think of any tbh)

Thanks for the input. I don't think card in sentry will behave similar to that in the video. That is a huge itx case with two case fans providing pressure so the air inside keeps getting replaced.I saw a youtube video that went over open air vs blower cards in SFF cases.
Turns out blower style cards stay hotter.
EDIT: Wasn't Linus, it is Bitwit
Don't get Vega. It's not worth it. With that power consumption you will end up paying way more than what you would for a 1080. The only card from Vega that can be considered is Vega 56 and that is only if you can absolutely not afford a 1070. If you can afford 1070 then there is no point on getting Vega 56.Any sentry user ordered a vega?

It's not hard to imagine how an open air design would benefit from that.
In the Sentry we are relying solely on the gpu cooler. Theoretically a blower design should give a consistent, good cooling performance. But since the gpu has it's own compartment (seems like it), an open air design can do pretty good too, depending on the grill and thermal property of the steel. Only someone who actually tested it will know.
Finally got around to completing my build aka "Black Razor" last night and wanted to share. Here's a quick rundown of what's inside:
CPU: Intel i7 7700
--originally planned to get an unlocked i5 but came across that eBay deal for the 7700 a while back and thought it was too good to pass up, hence the MB
MB: Asrock Z270m-itx/AC
RAM: 16gb 3000 mhz Team Dark Pro
CPU Cooler: Thermolab itx30
PSU: Silverstone ST45SF-G
SSD: 250gb Samsung 960
HDD: 2tb Seagate Barracuda
Custom cables from avaentum.com
......and
GPU: Asus Strix 1070 Gaming!
Yes, the Strix fits! It is a TIGHT fit, but it fits and required the use of a low profile/angled adapter (came from the eBay seller mentioned a few posts ago). I did have to clip off part of the ends on the rivet things that hold the Sentry nameplate to the GPU bracket in order to clear the shroud on the Strix. I also had to hold everything in place just right to get it back together, but it can be done! Still have to put everything through its paces, but everything powers up, etc., without issue. Silverstone magnetic fan filters (120mm GPU side and 140 mm CPU side) have been added to the inside of the case as well to maintain aesthetics. I did cut out the filter material to fit over the PSU though. I know someone else did this and I "borrowed" the idea from them (don’t remember who right offhand but hope you don't mind ).
Here are a couple of quick pics I took before I left for work this morning. Thanks for reading!

ITX30 with a 7700, eh? How are temps? Only 65 watts so I assume it's pretty good. I have used the itx30 with my pentium g3258 and it works well. I'm honestly impressed with both the itx30 and lp53. Very nice build.
Thanks! Haven't had time to properly test temps yet and may not be able to until this weekend. Right now I'm showing 45c in the BIOS. I was thinking it should be a little bit better than that though. Thoughts? Would appreciate the feedback. Wondering if I need to reapply and/or change my thermal paste or something (Cryorig). Or am I just being overly concerned?
I got a text from USPS this afternoon saying my Sentry (4th batch white) arrived in the US. Hopefully it'll be here soon.
Same here, left on July 4th.I think I'm also 4th batch white. What was your ship date? Mine was 4th of July. Exciting to see more Sentry's hit the States!
Bios always reads a little warm due to the fact it runs at max clocks on a all cores and at full voltage. Once you go in to windows it may cool down at proper idle.
My 4790k (recently delidded) with the LP53 cooler and noctua NF-a9x14 fan sits at around 40-42C in bios. And idles around 38C in windows in Sentry. So you can expect a small drop.
You'll potentially overwhelm the cooler with Prime95 or Aida64 but those aren't realistic anyway. In my opinion, anything less than 80-85C is fine during gaming which causes sporadic temp spikes. 70-75C is ideal but not necessary. If you're not satisfied with temps you could try Noctua's NT-H1 thermal paste or Thermal Grizzly Cryonaut (not conductonaut) as both are among the highest performing non-conducting compounds.
If for whatever reason you're still not satisfied there's always the NF-a9x14 fan which could be mounted to your cooler or the LP53, the slightly larger version of the itx30. Though from the few reviews I've found, the itx30 performs about a degree or two C better than the venerable Noctua NH-L9i so I really don't think you're going to have problems.
And if you're crazy like some of us there's delidding and liquid metal. totally not necessary though.
FeiGnt gtx 1060 will prob be more then enough for what your are looking at; League aint a gpu killer -- just a reminder though, pubg is poorly optimized from what I understand and even with a 1080ti i sometimes get <60fps on ultra setting (1440p - dell 24in gsync 144hz monitor)..... so even if you go with a high end gpu the lows are pretty bad
I got a text from USPS this afternoon saying my Sentry (4th batch white) arrived in the US. Hopefully it'll be here soon.
A note on using the mag filters: My sentry is in the vertical orientation. I have filters covering all the vents. While playing a game my CPU went up to ~75C. I took the filter covering the CPU vent off and the CPU temps went down to ~53C. I'm probably just going to leave that one off from now on.
Finally got my motherboard in. Started building this morning. Getting the C7 in place with the type c adapter was a pain. I'll post some pictures when I get back to it.
Try starting with that screw instead?Forgot to mention earlier: I'm using the B350N-wifi mobo and can't get one of the mounting screws in. Even took apart the power cable, but it's not lined up correctly. Anyone else having this problem?
Quick question, probably been answered before. I have an asrock fatal1ty z270 in my Sentry. Has anyone done custom cable lengths and if so can you share your lengths?
So I got everything in place, all cables are hooked up. Plug in my sentry via HDMI to a tv(I don't have any monitors).
No post screen.
Everything powers on, GPU has power(fan comes on), cpu cooler fan comes on.
Not sure if my motherboard has any lights that indicate power/status but I can't see any lights on.

That's my part list. I haven't built a computer by hand in almost 10 years. Not sure why there's no post. Could it be the TV?
I don't have a keyboard on me, picking it up tomorrow.
Any input/help would be awesome.
EDIT: I just noticed the ram I have ins't on the "supported" list from gigabyte. Could that be it?
That motherboard has a speaker header, do you have a computer speaker? If so plug it in and listen if you are getting any post codes.
Here is a list of Gigabyte's post codes. https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/FAQ/816
EDIT: ignore the headphones bit. Didn't notice the "header" part.
Have some headphones, 9mm. Plugged them into the audio out(green) and didn't hear anything.
Still can't figure it out.
I also can't get my pci riser installed properly. The part above it doesn't come off the case, and the holes I'm supposed to be screwing it into don't line up at all.
rfarmer I did have to move my ram(single stick) to a different slot.
Is it normal for slot "2" to actually be slot 0/1?
I had this happen on an old motherboard like 12 years ago, slot labeled 2 was actually the first slot on the computer.
