There are Raspberry Pi cases with NVME or SATA adapters built in you could get. That might be the best option for you
I already have a Pi 4 as well so I think that would probably work well. I’d just need to find a case that doesn’t look terrible and I would be golden.

I’ve found my self in need of cheap single bay NAS that doesn’t come with a disk already. It needs to be small because it has to go in my living room where the router is and I don’t think my roommates would appreciate an ugly desktop computer in the living room. The only thing that seems to fit my requirements is a synology that goes for a little over $100. I’m trying to see if there are other options hopefully under $100.

How did I not find this thread till now? Maybe I did and forgot idk. Anyways here is a good chunk of my older components.
My old abit AM2 bored I pulled out of an garage sale custom built PC. the GPU, HDD and ram where missing (the ram you see there i put it later to test components and run the system abit) but the case, CPU, a couple of IDE Lightscibe DVD drives and the PSU where there. Don't have the case anymore unfortunately but I still have the rest.
The Athlon that came with the system (sorry the pictures are blurry my phone camera is trash and refuses to focus)
A, no joke, GT 420. It was a slow card even back in it's day but I think we all know why.
Some old laptop GPU's and CPU's (I think they are mostly Pentium 3 and 4s) a Pentium 4 640, a Core 2 Duo E6550 and some old laptop ram.
And finally the most interesting old part I own a passively cooled 8600GTS? from Asus.
I have a few other old parts laying around but they are mostly LGA 775 boards and old heatsinks. I also have some old consoles too like a Dreamcast and N64 but I felt like those didn't really fit this thread.

I'm thinking of ordering an external hard drive enclosure so I can use one of my spare hard drives as external storage for my xbox one. Unfortunately the biggest hard drive I have is a 500GB drive. That is unless I count the terabyte drive in my ps4. So I was thinking of taking the drive out of it and using as external storage for my xbox sense I barely use my ps4. Unfortunately the biggest 2.5 drive I have is a 250GB drive and I'm not sure my ps4 will take it. So I'm wondering if I can install a 250GB drive in my ps4?

Hopefully this video will start another wave of people making these builds. I always love seeing people making sleepers out of consoles.
-
With that recent LTT video I think we are gong to see more builds like this popping up.
-
The rig I'm running is pretty similar and I at pretty much the same time. The biggest difference is that I'm running an FX 8350. The mobo is the exact one I'm using and I think the 960 is the exact one I had when I first built it. I upgraded it to a 970 eventually though.
-
This build looks amazing. When it's finished you should make it run a dreamcast emulator for shits and giggles.

That sounds great. A case competition would be VERY interesting. I think build quality, cable management, and motherboard/radiator support would be interesting things for evaluating and deciding the winner.
Why do you give off the weird aura that you're secretly an LTT staff member that made that account and post just to get ideas and gauge the excitement for the next scrapyard wars?

Everyone's excited I guess. Now, what I'd personally like to see is a custom case competition, which means no off-the-shelf computer case. They would have to either mod an existing object so that it can house components, or make one on their own. Looks and overall creativity would matter just as much as performance in the final judgement.
EDIT: Almost everyone apparently @JDE
Actually that sounds pretty interesting I might actually watch that.
-
IDK it's lost it's luster for me. I don't think the quality or anything has gotten worse in fact I think it's gotten better. It's just dosn't entertain me anymore for some strange reason.

I think Keys might join LMG ? ..
honestly it would be pretty dope if jack and key joined LTT but hiring two more staff members costs money.

well... anyone got any good alternatives for my fix of tech news now? like, im not surprised in the slightest by this, it all went downhill quick after Barry left. when that happaned i went "well this is about to die any day now"
There aren't really any others i can think of. I guess you could watch the WAN show but that's an hour long podcast that is effeminately not as close as being frequent. honestly Linus should just take some of his B team and make them do some sort of tech news show.

The first Netlinked and Netlinked Daily

I really loved how they found a gap in the so called "market" of YouTube and ran it pretty well.
I hope if Netlinked doesn't return, Linus might hire some new staff and setup a project for tech news. Although, he might see it as unnecessary, I just don't like filtering through articles.
If our grand overlord Linus can hear us hire the old Netlinked cast and start a new tech news series!

It could be that they weren't receiving their pay and the new team is also getting less but are accepting it.
That would make sense. That's not to uncommon of a strategy with corporations.

It's all kinda of sad. It was one of the best way to keep up with the tech industry while being rather amusing albeit a bit corney.

My impression from what I heard is that the company is going under.
but he was talking about some sort of replacement team which leads me to believe they weren't just layed off.

I wonder what caused such a mass exodus of ncix personal?

So I have this old GPU that I pulled out of an old Pentium 4 system that I can not ID what so ever the only thing I know is that it's an Nvidia chip due to the fact it says Nvidia in real small print in the back. Other wise it does not say what GPU it is anywhere on the card. I believe the computer I pulled it from was manufactured in 2002.

Alright here is an updated part list with all the changes I'm currently committed to. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Sukaro/saved/y9X999
I haven't changed ram yet as I'm looking for a single 16gb instead of 2 8gb sticks even though i know single is slower I'm looking at upgradability here and a single 16gb gives me more options in the future.
The changes where
Changed out the ryzen 1500x to the ryzen 1600
Changed the cooler from cooler master MasterLiquid 120 to Master Liquid lite 120 as ryzens don't need thst much cooling
Changed my M.2 NVMe drive to a samsung 960 evo 250gb

Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-08-12 02:21 EDT-0400I see that you want to use Asus RGB right? If you can omit that the build could be $100 cheaper by using a cheaper mobo and graphics card, but that's up to you.
1500X is a factory overclocked 1400 with a bit more cache, no stock cooler and a higher price, so it's not worth it. So I picked the 1400. You might want a 1600, but since AM4 will be around till 2020 (at least), I'd suggest waiting for Zen 2 to come out and see what it can provide. Even buying a 1600 after Zen 2's release is a viable option. A 1400 won't hold a GTX 970 back at all, or a GTX 1070 by very much.
Liquid cooler is kind of wasted for Ryzen, since it can't overclock very well and don't produce much heat at it's current overclock limit. You can add that later if you need it anyway.
Faster RAM is useful, and this one costs less than your pick. The only problem is the color, which is black. It shouldn't interfere with the build's looks, but some people might find this a deal breaker.
For $20 more, you can get an SSD that's a LOT faster.
That HDD is very expensive. I know that WD Blacks last longer, but at around twice the price? I would rather go through 2 hard drives. I don't think a WD Black can last as long as 2 cheap hard drives. HDD itself aren't new technology anymore, so there isn't a problem for going cheap on this.
Your GTX 970 is still ok today, but a GTX 1070 is necessary for a 1440p monitor. Of course, as you said, you can stick to what you have now until Volta comes out and decide at that time.
The case you picked is quite expensive. Of course if you like the looks so much you can stay with that.
1440p resolution is wasted on a 23.8" screen since the difference between 1440p and 1080p can only be seen in a side by side comparison. If you are going for a 1440p screen then I suggest to start at 25".
After looking at some benchmarks I've decided to go with the 1600. As for the liquid cooler I can't stand the looks of air coolers and the one I'm getting is only $60. Though cooler master does sell a cheaper one that i probably get instead. I like the SSD you recommended I think might get that one instead. I know WB blacks are expensive but I'm rather abusive when using my hard drives and can not afford data lose so i'll stick with the hard drive. As for ram black is fine but what I'm really looking for is blue ram as in the future i want to have either alternating Blue and white or blue and black. I reeaaallly like the noctis. As for the monitor I'm actually going to buy a new one very soon but i guess i could wait an extra week to order a better monitor.

A cheaper variant.
Thats a pretty good build a more of the end price I'll probably pay for but NZXT Phantom style cases are kind of a tradition for me so Ill probably stick with the Noctis case.

As I said in the post I can’t use an old PC because it has to go to my living room and my roommates would be upset if I put an old pc in my living room. If I had an Ethernet run to my room that’s probably what I’d do I even have a few computers that would work well for this but I don’t so RIP. You and another user suggested using a raspberry Pi and considering I have a pi already I’m probably going to go that route.
