Hey LinusTech and Puget sorry to hear about your news, it's disgraceful to hear what they have done to you guys. I really feel for you guys, I heard what Linus and Slick were saying on their WAN videos about samsung countering Nvidia I think it was by trying to sue that small company Nvidia was supplying their products to. This which made me swap out the samsung storage components in my upcoming Micro ATX build because I just couldn't fathom giving them a cent. Very ungraceful of them. I hope one day you can supply these cases to more enthusiasts again and excel in all your other endeavours . I know this was for US and Canada only but I would like to still enter even if deemed invalid for being down under in Australia. (I would be more than happy to pay for all the postage and insurance and any other costs to ensure the safety of the case to Australia). I'm currently building my second computer, (first time physically building it myself), and the first time it will be a Micro ATX (which would be the kit I would like to win if taken the consideration for, if not that's ok I'd still just like you guys to know that theres at least one person this far across the globe that is rooting for you ) I've been sticking by the Mineral Oil build since the first video and I watched Slick talk about his old mineral pc which was damaged (which was one of also the reasons I was highly contemplating to build one, to show support for his first model and do him proud, even though he doesn't know me hah idk). I was first watching the Phenom mATX build and have bought a few things but the case and graphics card. I'm not one for swapping components in and out regularly so I would love to give a mineral pc a go. I'd also love to make a build log for it and upload it to LinusTech, showing my documentation and photos / videos to Slick and the rest of the community. I've learnt so much from you guys. Anyway, Puget Systems sorry to hear that again Thanks guys love the work, can't wait to watch some of the shock collar footage play nice! or don't

wow thanks heaps for the super fast replies guys! i really appreciate it! I was looking at using my 1TB WD My Passport in a back USB 3.0 port since Im moving from a mac air to this desktop if that would be fine for now? what would be a better motherboard and cpu cooler? the only ones Ive found would be the asus gryphon z97 for $188? for the motherboard and I was looking at the shadow rock or dark rock for the cpu cooler from linus's phenom build? thanks heaps again!

hey linus fans this is my first forum post and micro atx build so would like some over sight and some opinions I'll be using the pc mainly for 3d modelling, rigging, and some animation, I would also like it have it for the occasional game. Heavy use in maya though I am also a student so i would like the PC to last 2-3 years at least I chose the OC options because I think I'd like the option in the future especially when I learn how to over clock and I probably won't be running it hardcore just slick OC adjustments to get a bit more out of the comp build is: os - windows 8.1 - 110$ ram - 16gb ddr3 g skill trident x 2400 -212$ cpu - i7 4790k -399$ gpu - 4gb gtx 980 evga acx super clocked - 769$ motherboard - asus gene vii $249 case -bitfenix phenom micro atx - 84$ psu- corsair hxi hx750i -218$ sdd samsung 840 evo 250gb -135$ cooler - hyper 212 evo -$36 total cost is $2,212 AUD if any tweaks id prefer it to be cheaper, but if its not too much of an expense I don't mind it being more if performance is pretty good I was also thinking of buying a couple of antec quiet pro 120mm fans for 15 dollars each to replace the stock bitfenix ones
