    Advice Limited PSU Headroom

    Okay, I see. Even at the extreme end of the spectrum it still won't be enough to go over the 150 Watt mark. Thanks so much!

    Advice Limited PSU Headroom

    What kind of tasks would stress it that much? Video editing? Running The Witcher 3? This is going to be her new main computer, so an idea of what she can't do with it would be great!

    Advice Limited PSU Headroom

    Hello all, This is my first post here, but I'm looking for some advice on a tiny build with limited PSU Headroom. My girlfriend is looking for a new productivity and light gaming rig to replace a dying macbook. I have suggested that I build her a small form factor PC that fits the bill, and...

    Completed SFFtime presents: P-ATX v2 - 10 L case with improved ATX, AIO and 3-slot support!

    Is there space for a separate WiFi card? I'd love to upgrade from my current case to a P-ATX, but my motherboard doesn't have build-in WiFi and I don't see any renders or pictures with a slot or space for a separate WiFi card...

    Stalled BlackLight Presents: Sion (10.6L) Console Case

    Temps look good, I'm assuming they're for under load? What's the issue with the cable management? Is there not enough space for the cables as they are now, or do they not bend into the positions you imagined for routing? For the GPU mounting, I think most of them have something for the riser...

    I mean, just moving the holes would probably be cheaper. There'd probably be a bunch of extra machining and work time needed to make my idea work. Glad you like the idea though!

    If lining up the holes is tedious, why not make some locator posts - posts that stick out of one side and fit into a hole in the other. You could even have the screw holes contained in the posts. A ring of material that sits proud surrounding the threaded hole, and an indent on the other side...

    If m3 screws are fitting in the holes, maybe you could try the adhesive method I mentioned before with m3 screws instead of m3.5 . some blu-tack or something similar on the screws to hold them in place inside the holes. Of course, that's only if you're feeling rushed don't want to wait for the...

    I didn't even know that was a thing, but I think those might make more sense. Much less fiddly than tapping the holes yourself. Where would you find them?

    Good luck! Tapping is hard to do and a little finicky

    Hey, the case arrived early! That's pretty neat! The holes didn't get threaded? That's...really unprofessional and really disappointing. You could try cutting the threads yourself if you having a tapping kit, but you shouldn't have to do that on a product you spent money on for a company to...

    I’m super excited! I can’t wait to see what the thermals look like, and I’m sure the added thickness to he panels will make it look better too! Waiting on the edge of my seat!

    Looks really good! I forgot to ask before, what powder coating options are you thinking of having?
