[USER=1555]@ceski[/USER] That power adapter you have pictured there looks awesome!! Tight, compact and the minimal amount of cables. It's killer!!! I see a ton of different connectors and kits on the page you linked but I'm not quite sure how I would be able to get one just like yours.

Roughly how much was that setup?( Brick, and adapters)


Would it be risky to run a PSU without safety labeling?


I haven't purchased anything yet, I've just been doing research for 2 nearly 3 weeks straight any free time I have. I already saw that coffee lake was supposed to be coming out in October and I have planned on saving up and making my purchases roughly black Friday/ cyber Monday. With lots of luck, things will be dropping in price AND going on sale. ( but probably not )


For the first few months of this build until the next gen nvidia gpu's come out I'll be running an evga gtx 1050ti superclocked edition. (cause I already have that) Unless I find some deals that are too good to pass up during black friday.


Is the 1080 Ti Really worth the extra money over the 1080? I currently don't have a monitor that can support anything higher than 1080p, but I do want the highest possible frame rates for being able to run the HTC VIVE without a problem.


I've got my fingers crossed that there will be a 1080 ti mini that's much smaller than the zotac 1080 ti soon. possibly even a low profile one.

I'm trying to make this PC as small as I can while getting the most power out of it So I don't have to upgrade it for a little while.

I have also just found out about STX motherboards and MXM graphics cards. Buttttt.... it's not very well supported right now nor inexpensive...


[USER=2141]@AleksandarK[/USER] shouldn't the c7 fit? the Noctua fits with another fan positioned above it with an extra bracket in the s4 mini and the extra fan was only like 10mm.... Although.... Now that I think about it, I could hide the Noctua behind another fan and get way more air circulation.
