I'm thinking of getting one of these for my Louqe Ghost S1 as it should fit nicely with a Noctua A12x25. I'm hoping to squeeze my existing EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 into the S1 for now and hold out for an RTX 5070 in a year or so.

While Minisforum is better known for their Mini-PCs, it looks like they're now branching out into MoDT (Mobile on Desktop) Mini-ITX motherboards. MINISFORUM BD770i – Minisforum The BD770i has a soldered 8-core Ryzen 7 7745HX and includes a heatsink, and mounting holes for your choice of 120mm...

Today I received some VE Monk Earbuds that I ordered weeks ago from AliExpress. They're really cheap (under $10) and they sound surprisingly good. While they won't be replacing my Hifiman Edition XS headphones, that's not why I bought them. All my headphones are fairly large open back ones...

The project has gone on the back burner for now, but I did a test fit of the RX 5600 XT with the cable from Beyond Customs and the 90 degree cable from MODDIY. The card worked perfectly, but with the card not having a blower design, it put out too much heat into the frame that the 90 degree...

Yes, the CPU on this motherboard is a mobile processor and has 3D cache, and so far I've only seen it available in the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17. Minisforum Unveils AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D Powered Mini-ITX Motherboard, Supports 100W CPUs & Up To RTX 4090 dGPU (wccftech.com) However, it looks like...

I've had more issues with my CPU temps (also using the U9S) than the GPU temps. I'm going to try a 240mm AiO (fans set to exhaust) in my NCASE M1 soon, which I'm certain will get my CPU temps under control, but I'll see how the GPU fairs. I've built into the NR200P and that extra volume does...

The Shuttle XPC was the first SFF PC I ever built for myself. At the time I was working as a Microsoft Certified Trainer, and we needed various virtual PC environments setup for the training (Windows NT 4.0, I think). While I can't remember the exact configuration, I do remember buying it...

Looks like it's doing really well too. As someone who played tabletop D&D back in my school days, and the original Baldur's Gate games, I'm keen to check it out. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to play right now, so I've put it on my wishlist and I'll probably wait and get it on a sale...

The plate with cutouts for switches works well in that position. I don't think specific cutouts are necessary for cable management. I was thinking more of a series of holes along the side that you could use for attaching zip ties, or a channel that you could run the cables through underneath...

I would try to put a 12mm, 16mm, and 19mm cutout on the bench which should cover the standard sizes used for most of the popular Mini-ITX cases. Anti-Vandal Power Switches – pslate customs From looking at the technical drawings I think the easiest place for the switch cutouts would be along...

Looks interesting. Much nicer than the $15 acrylic Mini-ITX test bench I use right now! 😁 What do you expect the price to be? The only point of comparison I have to this would be the Open Benchtable which I really like but wouldn't use enough to spend $180 on. The only part that looks like...

I think I need to either get back to playing on my Nintendo Switch or sell it. I played around 2 hours into Zelda: Breath of the Wild over a year ago, and just couldn't get used to the controls compared to the keyboard and mouse I'm used to on PC. I'm sure it just takes practice, but outside...

The OSMETA is sold here, under the Morningstar brand: https://www.superbuy.com/en/page/buy/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fitem.taobao.com%2Fitem.htm%3Fid%3D667265648824 I probably won't receive my GPD Win Max 2 (which has an Oculink port) for another month or so, but I might pick up the OSMETA at under...

Welcome. Nice case! I'm sure you'll find any help you need here.

Although I don't mind the design of this upcoming Minisforum case, I think the best news here is that they plan to sell the Mini-ITX motherboards separately. Minisforum Announce Six-Liter Desktops With Discrete GPU Options | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com) The Motherboards have a soldered...
