Conan Exiles. Love it.

Are there any higher than 60hz refresh rate portable monitors out there that don't cost a fortune? I found this one from a previous post but it is $800! https://www.englishtaobao.net/product/558361392114/ I cannot justify spending $800 on a 17" screen and my wife would probably murder me! I was...

$210 for a 17" 1440p/120hz screen and controller board. Does this look legit? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2560x1440-QFHD-120Hz-DP-controller-board_60712678511.html?spm=a2700.7724857.main07.18.56f96f49MrgVZb

I have been lurking in this thread for a bit now. Having something that is mobile would be really nice but my needs would be for gaming and most of the examples of what people are using here don't go beyond 60hz refresh and 1080p seems to be the highest resolution unless using the apple retina...

I just finished my build with the Corsair SF600. Modular and quiet. I don't like the ribbon style cables though.

Temps are better than I could have hoped for. I was averaging 76c while running Witcher 3 at 4k resolution. This is with the case all buttoned up, 2 fans and a mild -48mV undervolt on my GPU. I am very happy with how everything turned out and I can never go back to having a monstrously sized...

PSU came in and I am glad I went with the Corsair SF600 instead of the Silverstone SX700-LPT like I originally planned. Without the room behind the PSU which I would have lost with the Silverstone, I would have been completely lost where to put the excess wiring. I do have a few...

I cringed the whole time I was cutting lol. It did end up turning out Okay though and it looks great in the case.

I ended up cutting the shroud last night. It went as well as could be expected with a dremel. The GPU fits after the cuts. I will say that anyone using a long GPU, you are in for a bunch of fun trying to maneuver the USB 3.0 cables on the front panel. The cables are pretty inconvenient to...

Short story, my wife did not like my test stand PC setup and made me store it away when I wasn't using it. I stumbled on SFF builds shortly after and have been researching since. I wanted to keep as many of my original components as possible which landed me at the Node 202 for my case of choice...

I ordered my parts today. I changed a few things up. I decided to go with a better motherboard and got the Gigabyte GA-H270N-WIFI board which has stellar reviews. I changed up the PSU and went with the Corsair SF600 for an easier fitment. I also got two 120mm Thermaltake 15mm thick fans for...

I was considering the Cerberus X but I really like the form factor of the mini ITX cases. It would allow me to put it in my living room if I ever wanted to without getting any gripes from the wife.

Thanks for the suggestions. I love the Dan A4, it was the other option I was looking at but it seems to always be sold out. The Silverstone barely fits from looking at the dimension specs of the 202 and the PSU. I haven't found any examples of anyone using it in the 202 though so maybe I should...

Hello all, My current rig is a test stand. This wouldn't be an issue because I love seeing a naked computer on my desk but now I am a married man and the wife has pretty much made me store my computer when not being used... Current specs: Core i7 6700k, ASRock z170 pro4s mobo, Sapphire R9 Fury...
