Ha, never even thought of Etsy..thanks. It's my first build tho so don't want it to get too complicated (to my mind). Hopefully with my part selection I can get away with just the slimmer 120. But I'll keep Etsy in mind.

Thanks. So the Silverstone 120 for the bottom mounted Case fan? But Anything else id need a 3d printed bracket? Just want to make sure I can figure out where/how to install any fans and I just see the manual noting a bottom case fan option. I don't have access to a 3d printer Cheers.

Hi All. Thanks in advance for any help on my first PC build. Here is my Parts Picker List - https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Raikkonen44/saved/BKNkwP Looking for a higher end build but definitely under $2000cdn - so anywhere to lower price a bit would be great. No gaming. Working in Excel...

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have a NUC currently. I was hoping you could go from gen 11 to gen 13 for example. Is that going to be the idea down the road do you think? Originally I was looking at the Phantom Canyon but thought if I spend a bit more on say the Beast, and then could...

I'm looking at getting another NUC (I used to have a skull canyon) and would like to better understand how the compute element works. Is it making the NUC "upgradable"? (referring to the cpu at least). Is there an article or explainer somewhere on the web someone knows as I am still unclear...

I have a 35" 3440x1440 monitor. im focusing my build around photoshop and specifically to play f1 2022 which recommends the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti so that is my preferred minimum if not better. I really wish NUC was more upgradable!

Thanks to all. im thinking the Velka 3 or 5. im trying to decide between building 2 systems 1: Velka3 no GPU just strong enough to easily run photoshop. My current pc (Asus pn51) prebuilt is having issues recently and really slowing down in PhotoShop. if I do this build I’d look to buy a PS5...

I've made an earlier post for a 5l case for my 1st build, but I thought I'd start another thread for recommendations on a good SFF case for a 1st timer. I will want as much help and instructions as possible for this build (prefer not to have to do any mods etc) and if the case came with a few...

Similar to my post below just now, as a newbie I try to use pcpartspicker, when a case isn't listed, whats the best way to ensure compatibility with all parts? Another website or finding people who own it and checking their builds on these forums?

The Densium's look great - thanks for the quick replies! I'll see if I can get a build going. I looked into pcpartspicker but they don't list the Densium case. Whats the best way for me to ensure compatibility among all parts going forward? IE my 1st thought on the motherboard is the ASRock...

Hi all. Super Newbie here. Im looking for assistance on my first ever build and want to narrow down case options. Id like a case under 5L or so...if possible! (my last computer was a skull canyon that is bricked now) and i loved the size. I want to keep it as small as possible and while it...
