If it's all the same, I would rather have the case there. Also, you considered how cool that case would be machined??

I've only gotten an automatic quote from 3D Hubs, but machining one of these units in finished aluminum would be in the range of $750, so very expensive. That's just for one case, so I'd need to make many more to get the per-unit price down (and maybe seek other places for quotes).

If I ever get a Tormach 1100M (soon, hopefully) I'll want to do it.

Don't know much about CNC machines but that looks like a very competent piece of equipment. Would you be willing to do a small run of these cases for a price? Maybe this is getting too off topic, better off discussed in my case thread

5u Intel server chassis for my "x79" system (e5-2640, aliexpress motherboard, 24gb ram, 10tb of 3.5" drives). Not small, but I don't care (servers ftw)

Nice, I got myself a Dell 1440 G Sync monitor for the very same reason.

@rfarmer Nice buy

Which model?

Which model?

The S2417DG, Bestbuy had it on sale for $319. It is only 24" but I have it mounted on a 3 monitor arm and didn't have room for bigger.

Not 100% sure this counts but finished my bike build a couple weeks ago. SRAM eTap, full electronic shifting (wireless no cables bar the brakes) Also has a power meter so that along with the HR monitor the bike computer tells me the power, cadence and heart rate plus now it shows what gear I'm in Comes out a smidge over 8Kg, could save more weight but it would prove very expensive. Handlebars are not wrapped in this photo but they were done.
Had the bike a while but they changes made, im now calling it done. Rides fantastically though carbon wheels are bad in high winds acting like sails so a shallow set for winter.

damn thats some high tech sh!t, haven't been following bike stuff for a few years and they have wireless electronic shifters now?? like 6 years ago i thought my wireless bike computer was cool as heck, also thats a cleeeean bike

Holy, a Supermicro C9Z390-CG-IW ! Are you happy with it ? I was just drooling on that motherboard I discovered today.

EDIT: Or is it the C7Z370-CG-IW (from the WiFi module position) ?

 

[Solo]

It's the Z370. I haven't moved it from that spot yet.

Inno3D RTX 2070. Neither the Gigabyte nor the MSI 2070 itx are available yet so when I saw this on ebay I decided to take a chance and buy it. $500, which is as cheap as you can get any 2070 here is the US. The card is listed at 196mm and I knew there was a chance it would not fit in my MI-6, but with just some persuasion I was able to install it.

I like your way of thinking !

When I visualize the word "persuasion" I imagine persuading a kid to, say, brush his teeth; "C'mon son brush your teeth before you go to bed, like how dad & mum always do".

Definitely not something like...

"Hey Inno3D RTX2070, do you mind to go in that MI-6 case? It's a little cramped I know but you're the only smaller RTX card at the moment and I need those G-Sync"

Or a soft face hammer tapping it down into place?

Mechanical persuasion is contextually best persuasion?

 

[rfarmer]

Fortunately I didn't have to use such extreme persuasion. I knew the card was too long and it might be necessary to trim the fan shroud or possibly even notch the frame for clearance. Didn't actually require anything more than pushing the frame forward and the card down.
