    The Final Build Update! It's a success story several years in the making. The last outlier - by over two years - was figuring out how I would go about actually attaching the display to the build. I had been planning to add some aluminium bevel to the case, that I would bring to a local...

    I've had mine for maybe 6 months at this point and I'm pretty happy with it overall. the slightly long time to wake from sleep is my only real issue with the board. Its so compact though, i like the switches I went with (black) espescially that they are hotswappable. Here's to a long board...

    Build update time~! Hello~ It's been a while since my last post. I spent several months waiting for cable imports that would get canceled one after the other - before I eventually gave up and compromised, but everything worked out in the end and it's time to charge ahead with some build...

    Power Supply Big thanks to HDPlex

    I'm running an HDPlex 400 combo in my S4mini build, and my experience with HDPlex & talking with Larry in particular has been exceptional. He has gone above and beyond helping me with an issue I had and I've been quite impressed. So thanks, You've got a return customer for future builds.

    I had to cut and file the power lead adapter to fit in the rear of the case. the plastic is too wide for the corresponding opening. I just used an exacto knife and a hand file. Please be very careful with open PSU components - I know people have done this before but it can be dangerous.

    I made no modifications to my HDplex - and it fits fine with my inno3d 2070 I did deshroud my GPU - but I ran the build with the card stock for quite a while before that. You have to slot the PSU in gently and its a tight fit - but the HDplex ACDC fits brickless just fine in my experience~

    The card *looks* identical - but it's hard to see exactly what would be causing you issues. do you have more pics with the hdplex for context? I made no modifications to my HDplex ac/dc - but angled pcie is a must.

    Having an issue with on of the noctua fans on my gpu swap not spinning properly. There is no visible cable interference or anything like that, but it spins with some level of resistance compared to the other fan beside it on the gpu. It's only been a couple months since I installed them and...

    Gz on the find~! a 2060 is a great option for the build. I was looking for both and happened to find a 2070 first. The GPU deshroud was *very* easy with the inno3d 2070 - this card was clearly designed with that in mind. It can even go back together later if I want to swap it out. I can't say...

    400W is definitely the way if you want to push the space constraint for performance. As for GPUs - I am running an INNO 3D 2070 8 GB which is (as far as I can tell) the second most powerful GPU you can fit in the build - but the best one with a type C output. I believe the brickless compatible...

    Monitor Display port internal run update: I went ahead and made a small snip in the top of my GPU exhaust fins and ran the DP cable inside of the case as planned. I then routed both the DP & USB cables through the middle of the case and out a vent to the case display controller. And here...

    Less of an update - and more of a glam shot and a moment of reflection on how far this build has come. Hey y'all - I've been daily driving this build for a month now with dual monitors (got a nice, working ipad display replacement since the last update), and everything has been wonderful. I...

    Monitor Test run update: Howdy~ Somehow the last outlier to getting this running was the display port cable, of all things - but I went ahead and ordered a cheap one just to get things plugged in and spooled up. Ipad dispaly + Abusemark display adapter + displayport cable Overview of the...

    Hi <3 Build is *soft* Finished - Update Time: After two months, I have finally closed both side panels on my case.~ Current Status: The core PC build is completely done~! All of the fans are doing a great job, thermals have been fine, and I've been stable/no shutdowns for two weeks (since I...
