Great info!

Thank you. It’s bitter-sweet. I’m happy that John won’t have the burden he’s had for a while now, and I look forward to just enjoying tech again. However, I will miss the media stuff. It was neat getting to talk to engineers and play with hardware early. Though that wears off too after a while.

It's been rough for the SFFN volunteer staff. We've all been hit with life issues, some rather tragic, that has severely limited what we could contribute. I wish we all could have done more. However, I take solace that the history and resources in the forum will live on.

...nothing lasts forever. SFFN isn't dead but we aren't blind or naive to what's happening to us, and forums in general. I wish we could invest more time into the place, but we're all getting older now, and life starts to have a time limit. How you spend that time becomes more and more important.

I don't think Chimera is part of it anymore. I liked my Cerberus X. It's actually sitting behind me as we speak and I've used it as a PSU test bench since retiring it as a daily driver. The challenge is finding a modern high-end GPU that fits anymore with an 280mm AIO mounted on the intake of...

I got a message today from Scott at SFF Hub. Dan is ok. He's most likely waiting on the next-generation GPUs before finalizing the design.

Pic? No problem. Specs: 5800X3D, 6900XT Reference model, 32GB DDR4-3600 C14, 2TB NVME. Where it lives.

Dan hasn't posted anything here since June 4th, 2024 (Post 3927 of this thread) though I suspect he's lurking. I regret to say that SFFN just isn't a popular spot anymore. I'm sorry about that. People have begun to move on to reddit, Discords, or YouTube comments. Forums like ours aren't...

They said they were looking into a revised model. I certainly hope so. I would love a Cerberus X 2.0; one built for today's longer GPUs. My ideal Cerberus X 2.0 at the moment would be: ATX support, 330mm GPU clearance with front 280mm AIO, and room for two 140mm x 30mm exhaust fans at the top...

@AlexTzone Case is looking good Alex. Pretty sure my next rig will be in the Tetra or Nanoq. My Mjolnir is still hard at work as my HTPC. Looking forward to what you design next.

Old M1 is best M1! Love it! I did something similar with another case recently, but I'll definitely be doing it for the M1 as well. You've certainly gotten your money's worth out of that 7700K. Any plans to upgrade soon? Maybe 9800X3D?

Quick question. When I got my Z13 it came with a chipped outer shell. I would like an MQ6, but are the shells better protected this time for shipping?

I may have to look into getting a group buy or batch made if nothing feasible can be found. That or change my case idea. EDIT: After researching it a bit, it looks like AGP riser cables aren’t nearly as robust as PCIe cables, and suffer from signal degradation and compatibility issues. Looks...

Thank you. As usual I'll be updating and adding things as I turn it into a long term style.

I’ve see that technique work in a couple of cases now. I think most manufacturers don’t go with it because it cooks the laminate that’s on most desks. Makes sense though. I’ll toss that on my test list.

I actually agree with Fractal on the PSU mounting setup. If reversed to normal sandwich style, the AIO will be directly above the exhaust of the PSU and a SFX PSU gets cranking it gets very, very hot (I know you know that but some don't so I'm adding it in anyway :)). I recorded exhaust temps of...

I’m going to miss Anandtech. I’ve been reading them from year 1. It’s sad to see them go. As John mentioned, written articles are still the prime source of detailed information and reviews. John also mentioned us not posting as much. I just want to touch on that, so I’m going to hijack this...
