Ah, my bad. I was drinking and in my head Zotac=Galax. Sorry guys :) Thanks for pointing it out! Would the Zotac fit without the shroud? I know someone did take the shroud and fans off, but that was a little more than I wanted to do for someone else's build. : ) also part of the reason I'm going...

I'm confused? I saw someone put the Zotac in earlier and saw a ton of space around it? I thought the whole point in the Zotac 1070 was you didn't need the bezel...

FYI: The Gigabyte 1070 mini is $375 from Microcenter right now, with a $20 mail in rebate and a free game.

I think I like the Galax, but it for $390 I am looking at a two fan card that is 7.67x5.12 inches. (no game bundle) The other card I looked at is the MSI AERO at 7.24 x 5.67 inches with 1 fan - seen good reviews on this card - $390 The Gigabyte card we know will fit with some modding is...

I know a couple of you guys have done a 1070 mini in your S4. Any particular card you recommend over the other for my husbands build? He currently has an ASUS 1070 Strix 8 GB OC.

IIRC modzero is using some sort of standoff with his tempered glass panel because the fan would be flush otherwise.

Custom pieces like that are REALLY simple to do on a 3D printer...

The base game is only a 17 GB download (compressed of course) but the DLC is another 5-10 GB and then mods are up to 2GB each if you include maps. Then Ark has a nasty habit of not cleaning up after itself when it patches. I have reduced the folder size by 50 GB before by doing a clean install...

I did see that yesterday. My understanding is it's acts kind of like a third level cache, and people with high end ssds would get less benefit from it. The only reason I care about dual m.2 is that a m.2 drive means less cables for me to run in the case, which means better airflow and a neater...

I'm not 100% sure, but that's the way I read it as well.

Unless something comes back from Vega soon my current plan is: Mobo: AM4 Mini Itx board - tbd CPU: Ryzen R7 1700 Cooler - TBD (possibly wraith stealth) GPU: GTX 1060 mini RAM: 16 GB compatible PSU: HDPlex 160 + 330W Dell brick Riser and Vandal switch purchased from Josh at NFC as well as the...

I have a drill press and some 1/4" magnets. I can't imagine it would be that hard. I might have to dig out my lb of dice.

I'm not sure the wraith stealth would work. I will look into it. Personally I have access to a CNC shop and a machinist plus I own a 3D printer, so I'm sure I can come up with something. I'm betting something will come out by the time the itx boards are available.
