How reasonable is this? It sounds pretty tempting: I'm looking to run an i9-12900K in my A4 H2O (on its way from Caseking), of course undervolted and powerlimited but upgrading to T30's over the NF-A12's might mean getting a bit more oomph out of that space heater CPU.

It does look like it's quite bit longer than the dual-slot low-profile 1050 Ti's from MSI/Gigabyte/Galax

Patent law is very counter-intuitive. It's imho the messiest of all the intellectual property law areas. As a rule of thumb, an individual won't be able to actually protect anything with a patent (even if one gets issued) and a large Fortune 500 company can patent-protect everything...

Wow, that's a really nice build! I love cases like this where everything is trial&error with a lot of iterative improvements. Assembling a PC once is boring, it's the constant refinment that turns it into a real hobby ;)

:( That sucks for the backers (and obviously for Dan!), I just hope that the backers won't get too mad if they end up receiving the case after somebody gets their case from retail. I didn't back the A4 when it came out because I didn't want to order it just to find out that it was no longer a...

Kickstarter pretty much just started shipping last week but apparently from Wednesday 12:00 CET they'll be available on caseking and overclockers UK

@Josh | NFC I think the cheapest way to get a press brake into your home might be this: http://www.swagoffroad.com/SWAG-Press-Brake-Kits_c_53.html which is a DIY kit of dies+holder that you put into a hand-cranked 20ton Harbour Freight shop press. It's pretty ghetto and probably not a lot of...

Thanks, the images are super helpful! Looks like you need a press brake to do those kind of bends (rather than just a box&pan brake)

Ok, so this is a pretty common bend to see, where we have a flange that is flush with the edge: side profile: My question: How the heck are these actually manufactured? I understand the basic principle of a box and pan brake but what I'm wondering about is how a sheet would be clamped...

Is there any chance of desoldering the PCI socket from the Aiki..whatever PCB to replace it with a smaller socket? Or just straight up take out the dev board (cause apparently it's cheaper to buy the enclosures then it is to buy the dev board?) and do a custom PCB for the PCI slot? Then you...

The PicoPsu side sure looks like a JST connector but the picture is a bit too low resolution to tell exactly what it is. If you want to make your custom cable from scratch you'll need the right PCIe power connector housings, terminals, a crimping tool, etc - it's a bit of a pain but if you want...

Quick note: You need to either link the images directly (with the *.jpg) at the end of url or remove the image tag (and then the forum will automagically insert an imgur thing). The build looks nice, the "molex" (4pin) connectors are a bit of a shame, visually, but that's all hidden nside the...

@Josh | NFC I certainly didn't read your post as implying that. I was just pointing out that virtually all electronics are made by chinese companies anyway, so if a chinese (i.e. PRC, not Taiwan) OEM company suddenly realized how to do marketing properly they'd be indistinguishable from the...

But isn't "chinese manufacturing company + proper marketing" basically what 99% of the mainstream PC peripheral brands are?

Congratulations! I do have to ask, though: How in heaven's name are you supposed to pronounce @|||? ;)
