That grabber blue would honestly look amazing on the case!Should I color match mine as well? Lamo

@Josh | NFC Any idea when new acrylic 3D bezels will be in stock?
Also, with the Zotac Mini 1080 installed along with the DC jack, does the GPU tilt at an angle very ever so slightly? I'm watching your install video and it seems to (as does mine). Maybe some others can chime in as well.

Humm, I made a bunch of hardwood ones but the acrylic sold out. Figures
Your second question: it depends. Graphics cards and motherboards aren't perfectly square, and this makes the GPU lean a bit sometimes. I just did a 1080ti build with no lean, and a 1080 build with dramatic lean. You can actually observe this in a normal ATX chassis with a square. It's known as GPU sag, but it's not solely the weight that does this (obviously not in the s4)
I had a little lean it came from my sleeves cables pushing against the bottom side. But as josh has said it depend on the motherboard too and how aligned the slot is. Usually it is unnoticeable. But the gpu as snug as a baby’s blanket in there. Gtx 1080 mini that is

So I did some stuff to my S4 Mini, Post-build mods Update!
[PART 3] Inner Chassis Filing, Front panel tape, smaller wifi antennas, better rubber feet, new carrying backpack! in post #62
IF you guys have any feedback or suggestions, PLEASE share!
Up next... I've had the JB Weld instant epoxy sitting in my room, waiting to do the "Epoxy Mod" on my HDPLEX-300 coils, to minimize coil whine on it.
I'll be posting before and after videos of it's coil whine while running synthetics and a demanding game, once I have time to sit and do it. I'm a bit nervous about it, so I'll be reading the documentation from the @Zero who did it a few months back.

Nervous about what? Just dump it on those whiny coils
EDIT: i searched for pics of my hdplex as i dumped epoxy on them. Didnt find any. Only thing you have to look for: plug connectors into the hdplex as you apply the epoxy, as it could happen that a drop will drip into one and its really tricky to get the epoxy out of the connector.
Also put a paperstripe between the coil and the connector so if the runny epoxy drips there you wont have any mess.
Dump a lot epoxy on them so they are covered, but do it in stages, as the epoxy is very runny and it will leak to the ground.

welp, looks like my 7700k/1080 mini/HDPLEX-300 S4 Mini will be dwarfed by the newer 8700k/1080ti/HDPLEX-400 S4 Mini's coming up! I don't mind not being on top anymore.
Yay for hardware iteration and technological progress! I've stretched the limits of my build so I'm happy with it, once I do the coil whine mod then I'll be satisfied.Just know yalls 8700k owners will absolutely need to delid them to keep decent temps, from what all the reviews have shown. And your NHL9i's... well, Noctua better start designing a better SFF cooler for these bigger TDP CPUs.
I don't think the NHL9i will be able to cool the 8700k well enough after delid
Nice to see the ROG Strix Z370i boards have the same 8/24 pin and sata locations as the ROG Strix Z/H270i boards. That makes ordering custom cables so much easier without having to re-measure distances.
Yeah all of the Z370 motherboards seem to have completely identical layouts to the Z270 counterparts, guess that saves them money on retooling.
I can't believe it's taking so long for VLP DDR4 non-ECC ram, and Cryorig announced a copper C7 back in May... everyone's dragging their feet on premium SFF I guess.

Der8auer said he only expects a change in temps in the order of 3-4 degrees with a delid and TIM swap on these chips. Considering 7700K swaps yielded temperature 10+ degrees, I'm pretty sure this is a safe bet.
So, I know this has probably been answered in the last 199 pages, but will there ever be a possibility of having a c14 cutout so we can roll with internal psu's and not have to mod the case?
C14 is HUGE tho. I think S4 was built with external brick in mind.
Having AC outlet gives the opposite impression which will surely ruins people expectation when it doesn't deliver.
Putting a brick internally will remain a niche in S4 IMO.

Anyone know if there's any brackets/hardware I can buy to mount a 2011 cooler to 1151? I'm probably just going to use zip ties but if a bracket exists I could go with that.
Going to try to see if I can mount a Dynatron T318 instead of my C7 heat sink: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A21361W/
If I can get it to fit without hitting any components, then I'd have a 27mm high all-copper vapor chamber, with plenty of room to keep using my 140x13mm Cryorig fan.

Hey didn’t someone in here mill out their wrap around bezel so it could fit a 1080? Trying to locate the post from that user.
