    Log Max thickness of rear panel for IO shield?

    Cant seem to find any info about this, so I'll just ask (and if this is in the wrong sub-forum, just move it): What is the max thickness I can use for the rear panel so that the rear IO shield can be attached without any issue? I'd guess 2 mm, but want ro make sure. Thanks!

    Log mATX SFF, research / prep work + intermediate build (Mesh-mATX)

    So, my future first SFF system is going to be an mATX SFF system. Mostly, because the goal is to have a portable workstation, so a bit more RAM (esp. with the current pricing situation with DDR5) and more PCIe slots might come in handy, but also, because of the unfortunate issues with AIO liquid...

    Log RGEEK L65S modded build - (MSI Z390I + I7 8086K + RX570 with riser)

    Hi there, Wanted to present a little project I made a couple of months ago! Being used every day for 8 months without a problem.

    Log Finished my GEEEK G1 build

    Just got the new GEEEK G1 in today. Was a fairly simple build with the power button being the only issue. It sticks when pushed, causing the computer to continuously power on and off. Just seems like a poorly installed switch. You can watch my build video on it here.

    Log My SFF builds / journey

    Finally decide to have a dedicated thread to document everything SFF that I do. So here it is. Preface: Just a bit of background about me. Loved video games growing up (even more because my parents forbid it in typical Asian parent fashion), which led to my enthusiasm for computers and...

    Nouvolo Steck build

    I've built AMD Ryzen 5 3600 on ASRock ITX/TB3 inside Nouvolo Steck. Here's a video of the build. This was my first SFF build and first time building after 20 years or so. Lots of back and forth :) but it was interesting. I like this case - especially how it's easy to build with just the spine...

    ZS-A4DC "Mini-Sledgehammer" Portable Workstation Build

    It has a name: Mini-Sledgehammer". As you may of noticed on the Taobao thread, my ZSA4-DC arrived. I was originally going to go with a ML06-E, but I felt it was too heavy and big for what I wanted so. So after thinking it through I went with the ZS-A4DC due to its tiny size and aesthetic. The...

    Sanity Check for Newbie's first port to sff case

    I currently have my system housed in a Corsair 280x "matx" case. It's fantastic, pretty and goes on sale relatively often. I'd recommend it; fact of the matter is I want to port my build over to a "sff" case to save some desk space and not have to haul around a giant cube everywhere I go...

    #NotABuildLog - Transplant with some added flair

    I purchased my Cerberus (non-X) at Christmas this past year, and have been slowly tweaking things over the past month, but with my new addition this week (RTX 2070) I thought I might share my own build and thoughts on some customization ideas I had for the case. My setup is mostly a transplant...

    Hello all! Newbie planning a Louqe S1 build =)

    Hello all, my experience with building dates back to my college days (when Lian-Li Mid towers were the wonderful gems, they still are). Fast forward to now, being a father and having my wife and kids taking up most if not all of my space, having endured the whole "Macs can game, just turn all...

    Blacked Out Ncase M1

    I got more than a few questions when I posted my build to reddit, so I figured some people here would like to see it as well. If anything, it's just another Ncase build, but with a few interesting part choices. I'm a big fat liar. The build isn't fully blacked out. The cables aren't. The custom...
