this reminds me @Josh | NFC I gotta email you about that skyslotted DINOC piece thats gonna co over the new vent hole I'm going to cut on my S4M-C...
Well I found some of the same material. So I can mail you some and you can go get it laser cut.

Finally got my cables done for the Eurocom unit. Hooked everything up once I got home last night, and did some quick testing. Everything seems to work great, and the system has yet to restart under moderate overclocking, like it would have with the Dell brick!
If anyone is interested in purchasing my Dell brick, let me know. As long as you don't plan to really overclock your parts, it's a nice cheap solution.

I’m happy with this set up now. I had a lot of problems with getting power to my machine. After trying 2 Dell 330w bricks (one from Dell, other from Amazon), a HP Voodoo 330w brick, a 1200w industrial power supply, running the system on two bricks, with one powering a 160w DC-ATX, and the other powering the 400w DC-ATX, we figured out that the 400w DC-ATX unit was the problem. HDPlex sent a replacement 400w, and it works likes a charm. In the meantime, because I was impatient, I purchased the Kmpkt 360+160mini combo, and ran my system for a few weeks that way. I also purchased a used G-unique 400w archdeamon, and got the system running that way as well.

Josh has done a TON of testing with various setups and builds, and has made a post HERE about which of those setups he recommends. In that post, are some pretty inexpensive options that you could check out. However, it really comes down to what kind of a setup you're after though and what needs to be powered, as far as what options would be best for you, in your specific scenario.
Those are some pretty decent temps. Once I break down and get a 1080 Ti Mini, I'm going to swap out the thermal paste on it and my cpu, and use some Grizzly Conductonaut. I'm hoping for a solid 5-10 degree drop in temps, with that. As everything sits now, with my 8400 and reference 970, I typically hit the following numbers while gaming;
CPU- 60-65
GPU- 75-80

In all my idiocy in gathering the parts for my S4M build I ordered small WiFi antennas for 4€ yet with an over the top 25€ shipping shipping fee, only to find out they have male SMA connectors and the motherboards wifi card as well. So I was wondering if a reverse polarity SMA male- SMA female adapter would work between them?
Thx

I'm not an expert myself, but the guy on the video turned male into female by snapping the male body part off.

I'm actually thinking about buying small antennas. The ones inked in the video are 2.4 GHz, isn't one of the antennas supposed to be able to work on 5 GHz frequencies?
Hi there,
I'm new to S4, i knew about it's existence but i never liked the idea of an external brick. Today i saw the live stream built of the brickless system with GTX 1050ti and i begun searching and documenting and found something that confuses me, there are multiple versions of this case? From what i understood this is the last version. I don't mean to be disrespectful to you guys but i cannot find a list of changes from the last version. Is this just a revision? is it a new case in the same family? What are the changes? If there are different cases what is best for what usecase? I would very much appreciate if you can point me in the right direction to shed some light and clarify my confusion. Looks like a very nice case!

Link to that Livestream of the brickless 1050ti build please?
And, funny enough, I was coming in here too ask about Corsair Vengeance LED Ram fitting the S4M... And, somebody above posted photos with that exact RAM in the case.
Not sure if it's been said yet, but @Josh | NFC, I really like the new livestreams!
