    Advice Abandoned build, need rec

    I ended up with a Meshroom D. I'm going to make a vertical stand and a side panel extension to fit a larger cooler.

    Advice Abandoned build, need rec

    Thanks that's a cool build. But that's the thing. The design part is the funnest part. I'm definitely fond of what I started. But I'm too busy to actually build the case right now. I've got a couple hi-fi speaker projects going which I have to build the boxes for. But, since computer cases are...

    Advice Abandoned build, need rec

    Hi guys. I started designing this case going on two years ago. The brief included a small footprint, high air flow case that would accommodate a full size air cooler and GPU directly mounted to the PCIe slot. This can most easily be achieved using a vertical orientation. This is what I came up...

    Production Sapele Retro: a Noctua themed workstation mini ITX with a Quadro gpu

    Ya this was just a prototype and I stuffed everything in there quickly. I’m going to disassemble to reroute and clean up all the lines. The wood was a piece of scrap, so I didn’t have a choice on width and length of the stand. I was originally doing this build without the stand by using a...

    Production Sapele Retro: a Noctua themed workstation mini ITX with a Quadro gpu

    The community taught me a lot in a really short time. I knew literally nothing two months ago, like the difference between a gpu and psu :confused: lol Thank you sff net! But obviously I’ve been working with wood for awhile, I have a furnishing business on the side.

    Production Sapele Retro: a Noctua themed workstation mini ITX with a Quadro gpu

    @JDragon and @AstroWan, thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated. I kind of needed to use Noctua for the form factor and decided to really lean into the color way. I could have hidden the exhaust fans on the back, but I really wanted to show them off. I’m glad you like it. My pictures don’t...

    Production Sapele Retro: a Noctua themed workstation mini ITX with a Quadro gpu

    This custom case stand is milled from a solid piece of African Sapele wood. It acts like a hidden partition to house the 400w psu, custom front panel i/o, extra cables and functions as chimney with dual Noctua exhaust fans. I can make you one with any species of wood you like, that will be much...

    Motherboard ASRock's Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac - A New Direction

    Can I ask a stupid question: what was John referring to when he mentioned intel’s product stack is a nightmare? I’m new to PCs and don’t know what specifically is wrong with intels software currently. I bought this board and a 9700k for an sff build. I more I read about that chip the more I...

    Mini ITX + GPU Build: brutal honest feedback/help wanted.

    Thanks! This is fun. I wish parts were available locally at estore prices. This would go a lot faster. I think you’ll like my final results. The gpu will be fitted, flipped upside down in the psu slot. This is the general layout: I’m hoping to run the riser cable behind the mobo and use...
