So I am in the process of building a small living room pc and am looking for a motherboard to pair with a G4560. There are plenty of Mini-ITX options on newegg, but it really bothers me paying more for the motherboard than the processor. Anyone know a good place for new (or used) cheap(er)...

In my opinion, nothing will ever be as good as the original Code Geass.

That's fantastic!

Also, the stick sounds like a really good idea xD

A good rule of thumb when working with any kind of dangerous current is always keep one hand behind your back, helping to ensure you don't inadvertently complete a circuit. You should be okay, just try to be sure its dried out. Typically the metal case of the PSU wouldn't be able to shock you...

Be careful. Just because it was unplugged does not mean it was powered down. A PSU has capacitors that hold a nasty amount of voltage even when unplugged. It may be damaged, and more importantly it could shock you very badly.

I heard rumors last year that there was supposed to be a new season coming, but as far as I know nothing came of it :( I've also heard rumors that supposedly Code Geass is getting a reboot as well. That would be even better (for me, at least :P). Thank you :)

Also, sorry for the double post, but I wanted to add that anyone who has any parts they might need help finding don't be afraid to ask me. Though a lot of times me getting and mailing wouldn't be practical I can give you a part number that will work at any NAPA, and that almost all auto parts...

You're spot on about sourcing odd hardware. Especially when one of my in progress works is doing water cooling with auto parts. Unfortunately on that front I ended up with almost all pc parts, my case has a layout that is simply too small/dated to fit what I wanted in it; specifically a top...

Is there motherboards with a different connector to handle something beefier? Would be interesting if there were.

Not really much to add, but wanted to say thank you for posting this. Now I finally know what the heck these are called and why people seem to like them so much!

Hey guys! I realized I never actually posted an introduction, just got a little carried away with all the awesome info here. So I currently work at a locally owned NAPA, we're supplied by and work very closely with the franchise but we're actually locally owned. So we get to stock all kinds...

@JosephEK you might have better luck getting answers with that if you started a thread for it yourself; not meaning to be rude, just felt it needed said. On-topic: For me personally the draw of bricks is as others have said, it can be hidden. So for "bragging rights" about how small the case...

@SenorDonut I used to be surprised at some of the dumb things people do, even working retail. Then I started selling auto parts; I have met some very...interesting folks.

They very well may not be 12 volt fans then, but also keep in mind that power from the wall is AC and those are DC fans. I don't know how that would affect them but I do know it can lead to undesired results when running them on AC. Though personally I doubt them running too hot would be...
