I saw a few posts about this earlier in the thread, and the consensus seemed to be that there wasn't significant temp change, but significant noise reduction. You also need to remove the entire heatsink if you want to plug the fans into the GPU header. Otherwise, you can just plug into the...

You'll have to unscrew the GPU riser first, and route the cable under that.

Darn, doesn't seem like the AC-DC internal will fit in the front If I get the Gigabyte 1080 mini, and replace the fan/shroud with x2 fans via Skybracket duo. Maybe a 120 + Skybracket? Hrm...

Simplest way would probably just to buy a tv/monitor wall mount since the S4M is VESA compatible.

That Reeven Vanxie's pretty adorable, but previous reviews don't seem too hot on it for gaming (SFF net , SPCR).

So I went ahead and grabbed Corsair's Premium SFF cables just to be fancy, and as expected, there's not much QoL improvement over the stock. As the main problem for both versions is the length of the 24-pin cable, I'd say getting a custom short one is probably the only major recommendation I'd...

I recommend checking out these two links: Which PSU to choose? Builds + Part list

I'm using this Cable Matters one. The cable on this is pretty thick, so you might be able to find a thinner one. DP cable, 3 USB, headset, wireless antenna DP, 1 USB (hub), headset, wireless antenna.

I haven't been able to find anything about mounting 2.5" platter drives with a 1080, so I'm going to assume that's a terrible idea, yeah?

Yah, with the sides on, I've moved it around a bunch and had no wibbly wobbly spine.

This is pretty cool. Can't wait to see the builds with it!

@DSE, @KSliger: Good news is that my GPU no longer has problems fitting in. Bad news is that the retention clip snapped in half. This was probably 99% my fault since I was pretty rough with it on my first installation attempt. In this case, while the GPU was properly installed, I pulled up...

How much strength will going full steel add to the spine's structural integrity? I'm tossing around a couple thoughts for that variation, mostly just for funsies: Drill a small opening next to the PSU (HD cage position), and add a mini front panel. Replace PSU with HD Plex, and use the...

I think my GPU's mating thing was slightly too long for the retention clip (or my clip doesn't move far enough). I couldn't fully seat the GPU into the riser, and the support bracket wasn't flush with the case. The retention clip also wouldn't move. The prongs on the bottom of the support...

Here's the 3 biggest takeaways during the build process: You need a low-profile power cable (hopefully Sliger can include one in future batches). Since your power cable will come out the bottom of the case, it'll stick out and your case won't be level. The stock ATX cable from the Corsair...
