The main differences I can find are,
Carbon: 
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots
8 x SATA 6Gb/s ports*
Realtek ALC1220     
Intel i211AT     
Pro:
3 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots 
6 x SATA 6Gb/s 
Realtek ALC892 
Realtek 8111H 
 
The difference is more slots and audio

Different network cards, different audio chips (alc892 vs alc1220) , different usb port on io shield ( 2 type a 10gbps vs 1 type a + 1 type c etc)..
 
The mosfets on the VRM may be different (higher current, more efficiency, I don't know for sure)...
 
(comparison in Romanian, but should be fairly easy to understand)
 



 

I had the same problem, disconnect all the fans and try to boot if it boots change the fan port to another one. For me is was the cpu fan slot that had a problem 

get a UPS either way. seriously. the office i work at *may* have a 1 second blackout once a year. but when it happens, it saves our butts bigtime.
 
past that, a good quality UPS also conditions the power, making your equipment last longer, and avoid potential "odd behavior" because stuff is only just within spec (power grids are a dirty, dirty place.)

So I got no help for the server side of stuff but for the blackouts have you considered a UPS this would allow you to keep power to the server for an amount of time whist the power is out and hopefully back up before its out of power ?

if blackouts are a problem, tell the boss man that a good quality UPS for critical equipment isnt just luxury, its necessity.
 
once you have a UPS that can bridge the blackouts, you can hook up whatever your heart desires, and you wont have any issues.

It doesn't have to be NewEgg, I was just showing what you could get
 
If you want a tempered glass, you can't get classier than the Corsair Crystal 460X.

Hahaha, yeah. My last gf hated my PC because it took time away from her.
 
The only thing I hate about the 303 is there's no shroud for the PSU. Since those have come along, I can't imagine having a case that has a window without one. I've always loved Caselabs cases, I just wish they'd make something super super small, but alas my next build won't be from them. Though that new ITX case...
 
Did you decide which case you'll use?

Haha, aye she was. That was a while ago though
Ladies come and ladies go through my revolving door...
 
I think that'll be a good build! Make sure you do a build blog! I honestly think the S340 has everything one needs in a case while being really well priced. I'd love to see what NZXT could do if they went for a really premium case.

Oh boy, what a title...

damn son, you don't need a new computer, you need therapy

thats some pretty harsh roasting right ther ebut maybe nect time try a bit harder and shed out the electron micoscope.

C-can I have both?

Electrons? Don't make me laugh, my dick is approx 2 plancks long 1 planck wide mate

Sorry fam, no camera could capture a penis as small as mine

Ah! I appreciate the advice, but I like the sidefacing Radeon logo a lot and seeing recent benchmarks of the stock coolers they run in parameters I consider acceptable plus they're cheaper which I like muchly. Thanks though!

Hey all
 
So I'm joining the choo-choo hype train for Ryzen gonna rebuild my now p.obsolete rig - and I've wanted to downsize for a little while but honestly...
 
It's kinda nice having a big RGB case bc it impresses non-techies
 
So my question for you guys is:
 
1) How do you make an mATX/small ATX case look impressive?
2) What are your top mATX windowed cases that don't break the bank?
and
3) What's the smallest ATX case I can buy (I use like 11 USB devices I don't wanna rely on hubs too much, I prolly have to go B350 for the price so it'd also be nice to get a small ATX
 
Much love,
Insecure small penis man

Thanks for the input, already have an NZXT Hue+ so I've that much handled. Will take a look at your suggestions and also maybe ex/r/otic form factors ooh I should add that on

Have you looked at itx? Itx cases are smaller and usually look better. Something like the phanteks enthoo evolv itx. 

1. Much the same as an ATX case, with LEDs, tidy cable management inside you can see through a window, etc.
 
2. Define Mini C
 
3. Define C

A smaller case is going to impress people much, much more. Non tech people are the ones most impressed by something like a Mac Pro. They'd be impressed by flashing lights and glowing fans, but they wouldn't want one in their house. Clean, minimalist lines and subtle lighting is the way to go.
