It's a nice case, just built my son a PC using that one. However it's big (I thought you wanted something smaller), and it only supports 2 HDD out of the box (you will need to purchase accessories to use more).
Is there a reason for some many HDD, you could get 20 TB on a single disk and not need some much room, and use a smaller case?
It definitely the largest I'd go as it's still classified as a mid size case. I am aware of needing to buy the extra cage.
I have thought about this. But cost is cheaper. Probably end up costing me more long-term tho.

Maybe the Phanteks Eclipse G500A..?

Looking for a case that isn't to big, mid or smaller. It going to be for my mom who only does basic things, but I was going to setup a media server as well. I'm aware of older cases that do a great job housing many hdd. Like the 804,304, and some Silverstone cases. However I was hoping to find something more modern. And would look nice in her room.
I have a spare 3600x. So I'll end using that, but I don't want to grab a mobo without picking a case first. Hoping that 20tb 5x4tb hdd 3.5 is enough to get started. Which means I'd like few extra bays for expansion.

Alfa network makes some of the best from my understanding. Or there are others.

Uhm yes/no. Even using the pigtail/daisychain can have these affects. it really comes down to how well that power is delivered. an under powered psu cant deliver the correct amount of power consistently this may happen for an extended amount of time before the safeguard kicks in or the unit fails or kills another part of the system.

I'm sure after a couple or few months someone will.. most likely going to wait to cover a big feature/driver update. And if LMG is as much of a supporter of Intel entering the space. I can only assume that they will have future coverage of their progress.

I guess this sub is the best spot for the question. Hope so,
So I've never had a pi before. Thinking of getting a pi3b/b+ to setup a pihole. if it's overkill, let me know I can get a pi 2 with everything for 40$. Just thought the extra ram would be a plus. Either way, Would my router ( tp-link archer c5400x) usb be able to power the pi?

Does the rest of the system support vPro and if yes do you plan to use it? If not then it's useless.
No
Kinda what I thought just making sure there wasn't some type of compatibility issue.

Airflow optimized fan are pretty worthless in pcs. They don't handle resistance and there's always resistance somewhere. Second, push pull on 99% of aio's is also worthless. The fin density isnt high enough nor are they thick enough for there to be an advantage to using push/pull. Third, why spend more on the fans than the aio?

Going to upgrade my m.2 Intel 9260 ac/bt 5.0 to a m.2 Intel ax210/bt 5.2
Do it really matter if it has vpro?

Lian Li O11 AIR MINI has 4 HDD slots and is super small.
The good ol o11. Whatever the size it's a good option.
Good pick I forgot about the air mini.

Are you going to go for an external DVD player or do you need a 5.25" slot?
I have both so either is ok

So looking for something moderately compact that can also hold a decent amount of hdd/ssd. But also pleasant to look at.
The goal/plan. Is to upgrade my mom's rig off the terrible fm2+ platform to something modern. That's easy enough. She does simple basic web stuff and stores pics that's it so any budget build is a great up lift. The problem is she wants to start ripping her dvds and vhs so she'll need a good chunk of storage too. Im struggling with finding something that isn't dated, huge, or overpriced for the needs.

Honestly, more trying to pin down proof of concept than cost at the moment.
But I'm probably not looking to build a full server room, though it is possible. I could just build a box in the crawlspace and just mount an I/O panel in the office. But I would still need to manage the environment in the enclosure for heat and moisture. And I wouldn't be able to see the case I worked so hard to make look nice, but that's the trade-off.Have you thought about water cooling your build? You could then place the rad(s) wherever you want to dump the heat. Which wouldn't necessarily have to be in that cawl space. Just run the tubes to it.

What kind of budget are you working with?

solved. just have to use hdmi instead of dp now for some stupid reason. if you know how i can get it to view with dp that be great.

specs
msi b450 pro carbon a/c
5900x
16 gb ram 3600
gtx 1080
lg 850b
So i picked up a 5900x with bent pins for 130$ (sweet deal easy fix) got the pins straightened, cpu in the socket, updated bios to 7B85v1F( i assume its a beta bios, so it will be "GSE Lite" which is fine im use to it from using a 3700x on this motherboard.) ok so im waiting and waiting for the post screen. out of nowhere im in the os (win 11). at first im like cool the cpu works let get into the bios and adjust whatevers... but i cant. i cant tell if it hang or just doesnt display. but it just a black screen. i also tried using window recovery tools to get there. but again the recovery options dont display. its like trying to boot/view anything the os wont display.

Nope, it doesn't matter if they're installed.
thats what figured thanks

it been a long time since i used this method. im upgrading from a 3700x to 5900x on a b40 pro carbon a/c. is it necessary to uninstall cpu, ram, gpu and storage before flashing the bios with this method? i really don't want to have to do a full tear down atm.
