    Skyreach S4M - Brickless minimalist build

    Those numbers from Josh is very close to what I spend on this. I already had the crimper, Knippex stripper, pliers etc. though, but for sleeving, SATA connectors, terminals, wire etc. I spend €70 on what you see in those pictures. I did this because I think it's fun and challenging, otherwise it...

    Skyreach S4M - Brickless minimalist build

    That is not wired up as it's not going to be wired either way due to the C8 connector not having any ground. I hope that's fine but to be honest I dont have any knowledge in this area, I just read that it should be OK to do.

    Skyreach S4M - Brickless minimalist build

    This is an attempt at a super quiet developer purposed desktop that runs both macOS (Hackintosh) and Windows 10, is brick less and offers "a lot" of CPU power. I also wanted to take a stab at cabling / sleeving and trying to see how minimalist I could make the overall cabling in the system...

    HDPlex 160w AC-DC: 4 pin connector mod / change.

    I’ve thought of different options for covering the “input end” but it’s hard to not make the unit overly long depending on what direction you want the connector to point.

    HDPlex 160w AC-DC: 4 pin connector mod / change.

    I wanted to see if I could make the cabling more manageable and somehow make just a straight connection from a HDPlex 160W DC-ATX without any male/female connectors being in the mix as I feel that clutters the overall cabling and look of a build. First I thought about taking the 4 pin connector...

    SATA connector on HDPlex 160 - what are those called?

    That’s exactly what I was after - I’ll be reusing the housing from the HDPlex as the one I just got actually had a black housing but needed terminals. Thanks!!

    SATA connector on HDPlex 160 - what are those called?

    I’m trying to see if I can find both housing and terminals for that 4 pin connector so I can make my own custom. I took one of the wires out and looked at the terminal but it didn’t look like either a Molex or a fan header terminal. Are those available to buy and if so can they be assembled with...

    SKYREACH 4 MINI (S4M)

    This mig have already been answered but I can't find a firm answer in this thread: How do I get an all black S4M? Is my only option at this point to pick up an S4M in Silver and then order black panel side kit...

    SKYREACH 4 MINI (S4M)

    TL;DR: Just to echo Josh: If you dont mind tweaking games / system you can make a GTX1060 work with a HDPLEX 160W but it's not without challenges (it's fun though :) ) Based on my rather limited experience in the SFF space with a PicoPSU 160w and HDPLEX 160W; it's not an easy task to run a 65w...

    NFC S4 Mini #147 - Dolphin tribute build

    I only have Fusion 360 for the clams, controller mount and sensor bar mount - so no front-bezel :) A GameCube was harmed doing this build; GPU, CPU and serial number was transferred over to the new patient :)

    NFC S4 Mini #147 - Dolphin tribute build

    Time for the "final" update - the awesome front-bezels @Josh | NFC has created finally arrived and the full build is up and running. Im rocking the bezel with the Dolphin logo engraved as i think that suites this build really well and the only thing missing now is something that can sit in...

    NFC S4 Mini #147 - Dolphin tribute build

    Getting closer now - only missing the front bezel and some front-panel housings and terminals and everything should be ready to go. Added some tape to the GC controller board so the PCB does not show anymore and did the same with the sensorbar. Modelled a mount for the sensorbar that will be...

    NFC S4 Mini #147 - Dolphin tribute build

    I asked V1 Tech if they did custom GPU backplates as i wanted to add the dolphin logo in that smoke acrylic but nevet got a reply unfortunately. I just ordered the final bezel in acrylic from @Josh | NFC and he was kind enough to offer an engraving with the Dolphin logo ;) As for a small...

    NFC S4 Mini #147 - Dolphin tribute build

    Another small update: Received the custom backplate from V1 Tech so i could lay the Gamecube "Dolphin" GPU chip over the GTX 1060 - just something i thought would be fun just like i added the Gamecube CPU on top of the motherboards chipset. Also received the wifi antennes i orders from China...
