You can check with the 'Disks' application if it is mounted correctly (play/stop icon) but maybe this would be more appropriate in a Linux forum.

Be careful with the chipset cooler on that motherboard and the style of CPU cooler. The bended heatpipes in one direction and the fins in the other on the Blackridge as well as the L-12S get blocked by the chipset cooler. I have the older, passively-cooled version of that board and had to bend...

The Sliger Cerberus might also be a candidate. A little larger than those on your list but it has the option for a handle as well and looks on the sturdy side. I have the NR200p and I don't think it's a good travel case. I'd imagine you want the panels to stay in place when lugging it in and out...

Hi, 1. I couldn't find anything about the 5950x (105W tdp) with the L9a (65W tdp) but you probably have to undervolt it (Noctua reference). As a developer myself I'm not so sure the clock-speed is as important as the core-count for virtual machines, which again would work in your favor when...

As someone who runs multiple machines, I've split up work into Linux (Ubuntu) and private into Windows (I have full control over my work-machines and requirements). I've gone with the private Linux-machine for about half a year with focus on gaming and browser. You can absolutely get most games...

I got the same PSU and replaced the fan with a Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX which is quite silent but then also added the low-noise adapter. The case blocks the top-vent so the air gets pushed out on the cable-side and i can still feel a slight breeze. My system should take up to 250w on full load and...

Aaaah, missread that as the 8pin PCI-E adapter (clicking the link would have helped ;) ). Cool idea though, this would create an actual upgrade path for a lot of those slim Optiplexes.

Does the Optiplex mainboard use the standard 24PIN layout? I thought those Dell systems use something proprietary

Thx for the info. So the 25mm fans would fit snugly, but could it be less noisy with the 15mm fans since you can keep the rubber corners of the fan and have less vibration transfer from fan to case and gpu to fan ? Edit: Oh, I just realized, that you loose the GPU-standoff if you add 120mm...

Isn't the fan frame choking the blower-intake? I would love to see a temperature comparison with and without the fans.

Well you have a standard (not oversized) 2 slot graphics card and the Node 202 supports 2 120mm fans with about 10-15mm thickness (according to https://support.fractal-design.com/support/solutions/articles/4000055657-node-202-graphics-card-limitations-and-fan-possibilities ) I don't believe...

Where should the fans be mounted? In the GPU-compartment? What graphics card do you wanna use?

What is the currency (¥) used on that site? 249.00 Japanese Yen is less than for a bag of candy and Chinese Renminbi would be less than 40 US Dollar

Looks interesting since it supports big cpu coolers and I quite like streacoms build quality. I believe they use @dondan s A4-SFX as size comparison on page 11 in the pdf :D

Ok, maybe this would have been more appropriate in the "old" Sentry-Thread. I thought about it more like a non-destructive modding idea with 3d-printing the standoff bracket that screws to the PSU-bracket. I absolutely agree that it is much to niche for mainstream production.
