    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    But being not-ATX-standard is what made the Black Ridge so performing! 😅

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    I hate that basically no modern Mini-ITX MoBo is compatible with Alpenföhn's Black Ridge, it's such a great CPU cooler, even better if you manage to find good VLP RAMs!

    What games are you playing?

    I got it, actually pre-ordered it with (useless) horse armour and all, I even pre-ordered the physical Collector's Edition (plus the Monkey Island Anthology upgrade kit) from Limited Run Games but I still have to play it. I'm replaying the other titles (or in the case of Tales, playing for the...

    What games are you playing?

    The first two betas had over two millions participants, I believe this other beta has been called to tweak the game servers to accomodate even more players than they originally expected. It will be a bloodbath on opening day, I have no doubt about it. And we will forget about it once it will...

    Production SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    That's what's stopping me from getting one, prices are way too high. I hope the RTX 4070 (non Ti) will have a more reasonable price. Or that the RX 7800 will have a better raster perf at a lower price. Either or those will probably be my Sentry GPU for the time being.

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    Have you considered, drafting version 3.0, the possibility to get rid of the screws, at least some of them, where possible, and using magnets? Is that something that could be used? Or would it affect negatively costs/design/thickness?

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    At 52 mm, I'd say it's way too close to perforations, noise would be all over the place. If I had to get a 4070 Ti, I'd go with the Inno 3D X3, now that EVGA's XC3s are long gone (R.I.P. beautiful EVGA video cards). 😔

    Production SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    Yeah, I would at least wait for the non -K Intel's Raptor Lake and non -X AMD's 7000s. There should be some 65(ish) W SKUs and they will probably offer (much?) more perf per watt vs. a 5600X (nice little beast I'm sporting right now in my Sentry, btw). For the GPU, EVGA's XC3s, if you can still...

    Production SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    I'd personally wouldn't go over a 90~105 W CPU, unless you'd go with a 240mm AiO (remember, you'll most probably still have to go with low profile fans for the AiO). If you go for an air cooler, unless you manage to fit a Black Ridge (or equivalent), you'd best go with a 65 W (either a non -K...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    Can you even find, let alone buy!, a blower style GPU, nowadays? I thought of buying a 3070 Ti/RX 6800 blower type to accompany my Sentry 2.0, never been able to find one…

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    Hmmm, I'm not quite sure I would feel comfortable with electrostatic material so close to electronic components… 😅
