leaderroy got a reaction from TVwazhere in Looking for a case for my next build
I'll probably figure something out, checking with local retailers first. ?

leaderroy reacted to TVwazhere in Looking for a case for my next build
Since you're okay with a bit of modding, the Define C Mini/Meshify C Mini can hold a 27mm thick 240 at the top and a 240/280mm at the front, though for the front you'll need to mount the fans to the "outside" of the case rails. For the Define C, that leaves very little room between the fans and the front panel. For the Meshify C, that means trimming the back side of the front male's webbing to fit the fans. (example shown here in the ATX version)
Custom loop will be your best bet for keeping the 9900K in check. I've personally used the Define Mini C in a build but I didnt do any custom watercooling in it.

How amusing, the listing has been removed.
That actually makes it difficult to report anything through eBay.
However I opened a case on PayPal.
That's a shame.
I was hoping this would be a little more exciting.

I haven't been so excited about a thread for a long time haha
This should become a regular series on LTT!

I doubt I'll get a working 1080Ti, but let's wait and see what I get...
This'll be fun

Why would you need an I7 7700k if you're not gaming?

I would think you're better off with a NUC for your usecase.

leaderroy reacted to Protocase in Foam Board Case
Very cool! As @ShepBook said, if it works for you - then great!
@leaderroy, that's an awesome idea. Many a prototype has been started with some kind of a foam/wood/cardboard material. In fact, that's how the early 45 Drives' Backblaze pods were designed before we started manufacturing them.

leaderroy got a reaction from Protocase in Foam Board Case
I've actually been thinking of prototyping a case out of this kind of foam boards.
Before perhaps having someone like Protocase have a go at a metal version.
I only deal with mITX and SFX PSUs ur pico PSUs however, so expect something really tiny (probably with custom water cooling).
I was wondering how it compares to a steel or aluminium (or aluminum for those Americans out there) case in terms of noise

That is the stock clock, if you turn turbo boost off in the bios it will run at 3,4GHz.
It is also a sign that your CPU isn't thermal throttling

leaderroy got a reaction from Juliogol in Is 120 FPS noticieable in EVERY game?
In some games you won't notice much because it has a "forced" update rate.
But you will notice an overall smoothness over 60fps.
My opinion on this is wait for Higher res monitors to get 120/144Hz (the monitors now are meant for early adopters and for those whom requires the extra desktop real estate)
I do believe there is a 1440p 120Hz monitor from ASUS

leaderroy reacted to c3p0 in HTPC Prodigy "Senshi"
Hy so this is my first buildlog I will do this is in buildstages as budget is a problem and I don't know yet how much power I really want in this build.
The idea was to create a small rig with decent outside and quality inside meant to use for daily surfing the net or later upgrade to a fulltrigger gaming system. So expect the first stage to be "boring" if you searched for something outstanding.
