    Discussion Power hungry systems and SFF cases

    i think the more bummers thing is that the upcoming/current(??) cards are allowed to chug more power as an when it's thermally allowed, and with Nvidia trying to one-up everyone (and their own existing 30-series stuff they're trying to sell out of) by making chonkier coolers, people who're...

    Why Bitwit should avoid SFF.

    i don't quite feel it's a fair conclusion or opinion to land on 😓 i mean he's still new to the more demanding importance of order of operations in small builds, but discouraging him like that would loosen his handle to the SFF world, and in turn we'd have one less voice to speak of at the very...

    Prototype SF-ATX Aluminum mainstream case (CX2 update)

    to me, the CX2 is a no-nonsense case i wouldn't have to disassemble when travelling. on the other hand, the SF-ATX looks to be flat-packed, so in the worst case where carrying this case by hand on long distances isn't possible, there's that option to pack it into any luggage i'd choose the CX2...

    Prototype Project Orthrus - Smallest SLI mATX case (V2)

    w360 mentioned there might be cards going 3.5 slots on the next generation. at its current state, only watercooling would be feasible, thus further increasing its niche if the orthrus goes 4 slot wide, there's probably not enough PCIe lanes to justify the lower deck (maybe a custom disk...

    Prototype SF-ATX Aluminum mainstream case (CX2 update)

    feet of some sort is required at that form, especially if the case is positioned on the face perpendicular to the base of the GPU (the IO shield slot fingers are poking through)

    Accessory Portable LCD monitors for work and gaming, recommendations?

    yeah the handful of reviews are kinda bit too positive on amazon 😓 i don't know if it's worth dumping lots of curiosity money (also i could use that gamut, my current one has a pretty bad red range

    Accessory Portable LCD monitors for work and gaming, recommendations?

    how's everyone's thoughts on the magedok M140A 100% ARGB display? i'm hoping it's not something that sounds too good to be true 😓 (also anyone tried ordering from their shopify page to the UK?)

    Prototype SF-ATX Aluminum mainstream case (CX2 update)

    unless you plan to secondhand the case off in the future, i don't see the apprehension to do permanent mods to it (maybe other than cutting quality and mistakes or revisions?)

    Prototype SF-ATX Aluminum mainstream case (CX2 update)

    not sure if it's too early to ask for specifics (in terms of physical plans), but definitely keeping an eye out on this

    What ATX Cases Tempt You?

    running open-bench since last year (curse my HEDT tendencies), and waiting for the next ATX nearline-SFF carry-on is made difficult by looking at the amount of cables spilling over the bench. really would crave the O11D mini, but would prefer to use that expenditure on w360's planned ATX CNC...
