    Does this type of software exist?

    I find it strange that a license you bought previously had it's terms retroactively changed. That doesn't [usually] happen...now their support and garuntee of providinng said software is always an issue for anything that requires digital download. Regardless. Drive imaging might not even...

    Fit-in-backpack case reccomendation

    What are you defining as a 'full GPU'? The Ncase supports both full length and width GPUs (though, some extra-tall cards may be an issue) It also supports ATX psus with the included bracket....granted, you can't use 2x 3.5" drives if you have an ATX psu. You may also have to move the GPU down a...

    Fit-in-backpack case reccomendation

    In general, pick 2, especially if by 'drive bays' you mean 3.5" - 2.5" may be more reasonable as long as you don't expect them to be external. Also, 40x20x25 is massive for a backpack, no? That said, from what you're asking I'd look at the Ncase M1, or Sharkoon QBOne on the smaller side. On the...

    Power supply requirement for rtx 2070 and i7-8700

    I won't comment on if you can run it on 350W or not, but the following PSUs can all put out more power. FSP400-60FGGBA FSP500-50FGGBN ENP-7660B There's also the modular-moded delta unit Geeek offers, but it is a bit longer.

    Standing/Adjustable Desks?

    Mayo clinic has a brief description of that info, both for sitting and for standing. Getting everything perfect takes a decent amount of effort, and having the save presets helps with that a ton.

    Sata... Switch?

    So, would you have 2 full mobos, gpu, ram, etc in the case? after your description I'm even more confused. Why not just dual-boot dedicate your m.2 to have a partition for each boot sector, with in-case storage mounted as appropriate then get a mobo with dual bios that you can setup with...

    Sata... Switch?

    I'm not entirely sure what your goal is...would just a simple external drive dock with multiple bays work? I can't think of anything that is more like a 'switch'. The 4 bay one here does have power switches to turn on/off instead of just docking/undocking, but it's not a 'switch' between one...

    Seems like the new 645LT is now on SFFLabs for preorder, shipping early May. Any more news to go with it?

    Prototype DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    OCUK ships to the US w/o much trouble, shipping is just going to cost more than you're probably accustomed to.

    Prototype DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    I wouldn't say it's impossible, but I also wouldn't count on it since no one else has Alpenföhn's products outside of the EU as far as I can tell. I'm able to find like 2 of their products on US amazon, but even that lists it as shipping from Amazon UK and has special terms to buy it.

    News GTX 1660Ti launched - Potential new SFF Sweetspot

    This may be true...but are there any cases out there that can actually [currently] benefit from that? I can only think of 1, the Jonsbo C2. I suppose you could argue it opens up more space in any case that has 3slots anyways though. I'm curious if any cases will design around the new >2.5slot...

    AMD or Intel for ITX

    At that point though, why? For the price of an i5-8400 you can start pushing into R5 2600[X], or R7 1700[X] territory All of which are at stock ~equivalent or above to the 8400 (and as I mentioned earlier allow for OC), and all have more cores [not that it's needed] At the i3-8100 price point...

    AMD or Intel for ITX

    The Asrock A320M-ITX should be about the same price as any MITX LGA1151 board you can get. It has bluetooth and SPIDF With sales you can also get the R5 for a bit cheaper than the 8100, I think I saw it at $99 this week? For gaming they're not that much different at stock‡, but if you're...

    Power Supply HDPLEX 800 W DC-DC?!? WAAAAAATTT???

    ~50% larger, I did the math earlier in the post. It's a bit larger than an SFX-L unit as well volumetrically (~10%).

    Power Supply HDPLEX 800 W DC-DC?!? WAAAAAATTT???

    technically this has a total volume larger than SFX psus. (180 mm x 58 mm x 40 mm x 2 + 181.50mm x 66mm x 30mm ) vs 100 mm x 125 mm x 63.5mm 1.19L vs 0.79L Unless my math is wrong, which is very possible! Stacking them on top of each other as best as possible (181.5 mm x 66mm x 120mm ) its...
