I'm curious where people were able to pre-order this from and if they have come in yet. I put in a pre-order in later September at ShopBLT and was something around #90 in the queue and haven't gotten it yet. Not sure about their reputation, but they allow for cancelations, so at least I'm not...

Have you looked at the possibility of providing a single-slot PCIe cutout above the motherboard IO or a low profile cutout on the first slot above the graphics card like on the HDPLEX H5? Given that one of the draws of ATX is the availability of many expansion slots, it would be nice to have the...

This is great, I don't know how I've never seen these before, Thanks!

Oh wow, I would definitely have to consider this for myself. I like my Cerberus X, so maybe not an instant buy just for that reason, but this would probably be the first ATX case that could sit on top of my desk rather than under it. I might need to figure out how to fit a compact custom loop...

I was alerted to this very interesting Partaker B19 on AliExpress the other day that I thought you all would find interesting and I don't think I've seen posted yet here, though apologies if I missed it the thread. AliExpress Link Picture of the Insides This has the elusive Thin mITX Mobo with...

Oh, nice. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Ryzen 3000 is working. I had only been going off of AMD's presentation slides that show A320 being the only chipset to not support it, not based off of any actual real-world testing. This does look like a great budget option, especially if it still...

Could you elaborate on this? A320 boards do not have planned support for Ryzen 3000 series from AMD, so I wouldn't expect any 3000 series chips to work now or in the future, but then again board vendors sometimes do unsupported things.

Here is a really good reference for PCIe 3.0 flexible risers https://videocardz.com/review/pci-express-riser-extender-test Basically, a quality shielded riser has little to no impact on performance. A cheap riser can have a very small or very big impact on performance, but it seems to be...

With an ATX mobo, psu, full-size graphics card, and tower air cooler, you are looking at something that is fairly big no matter what. the Raijintek Thetis is about the smallest I know of that can fit all of that. I wouldn't exactly call it small, but it is smaller than typical ATX towers...

Power use aside, I have a 1030 in my HTPC because there is only one PCIe slot and I was going for full fanless. I regret not going with the 1050 and either modding the case or the card to make it work and not being so obsessive about running no fans. The performance is "fine", but not really to...

If you want the best that can fit that case, You should be able to use any low profile GTX 1050ti or once it goes up for sale the new low profile GTX 1650 from Zotac, both of which are rated at 75W. 240W should be enough for one of those cards paired with a typical 65W CPU - that is only 140W in...

Server Cooler? If you don't care about noise that is. I also dream of a case that small that could somehow fit a threadripper and cool it

It does look like a Zotac, but Zotac doesn't have a 2080 Mini. I didn't even know a 2080 mini existed from anyone!

Another option would be to use a cooler from an old Quadro 2000. They are rated at 62W, which is slightly lower than the 1050 ti's 75W, but it seems like it should work, it just might need a higher fan speed than the Quadros would have used. There seem to be slightly different coolers base on...

Oh, that Jubo board looks interesting. The only big thing I'd want is another HDMI or Display Port connection. Is there a way to convert the LVDS connector to HDMI or DP? I'm not too familiar with that type of header other than it is intended for integrated screens. I googled quickly and just...
