    True, I'd rather use the front USB ports but a hub or extensions would work. The S340 still wouldn't work though, at 18.66" tall I literally wouldn't be able to squeeze my finger between the pc case and the top of the compartment to push the power button. Also it's 1/2 too deep. Maybe I should just go with an HTPC case and put it under the monitor.

    With the way the desk is built the front and back of the pc compartment are open but there are wooden supports that block the lowest two inches or so. I added the millimeter measurement for the metric folks. It doesn't have to match up to the exact millimeter, just as close as possible. Unfortunately the S340 won't work, the front IO would be right up against the top of the compartment.

    I'm looking for a case that can fit a full ATX motherboard while being smaller than 18.5"/470mm high, 9.5'"/241mm wide, and 16"/406mm deep. Also to note, the IO (Audio In/Out, USB) must be on the front and not on the top or sides, unless the case is short enough that it doesn't matter. Would prefer a plain black case with no windows. I've been looking for such a case for a while now. My current computer desk was really only meant to fit an mATX mid tower at most. I have an ATX motherboard and can't exchange, refund, or otherwise switch out for a smaller motherboard. As of right now the Riotoro's CR1080 is the only case that will even fit and personally it looks a little to "gamery" for me, plus a few reviews have pointed out that the case has quite a few flaws. If there's an alternative I'd really like to hear it.

    tl;dr Linus did a George Lucas and created a Jar Jar.

    Yeah, either deal within the ebay system or don't deal at all. Scammers have been known to post bait postings on amazon and ebay and then ask the buyer to deal outside of ebay/amazon. ebay and paypal have protection against scams don't bother with anything else.

    And then they blame you for recommending it when the cheapo Chinese thing eventually breaks.

    Start with Pi-Hole, it turns your Pi into a wifi hotspot that automatically blocks advertisements so that anything connected to it won't see any ads. It doesn't require anything more than the Pi and an Ethernet cable.

    Do you have enough money left over to get PS4 games? Do you have any exclusives on the PS4 that you like enough to buy an entire console for?

    Oh god please no.

    The quick answer isn't if it will heat a room up, it's whether it will heat a room within a time that you would consider convenient. While it may take half an hour to warm up a medium sized room with a heater, it may take hours with a PC, even though in the end the PC is much more efficient. There is no difference between watercooling and air cooling in the amount of heat that will be eventually be released into the room.

    No I didn't write it. I just posted this here to give people some names. To be honest it might not be much worth to someone writing a paper, but it's nice to have to know what to avoid.

    Here's a good list of Ransomware and all of its details, including how to defeat them. I don't know how much help this will be but I'll leave this here just in case. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TWS238xacAto-fLKh1n5uTsdijWdCEsGIM0Y0Hvmc5g/pubhtml

    What currency is that? If it's USD then that's a pretty high end build. If it's CAD then it's probably enough for a doughnut, maybe two if there's a sale. /s

    Nope, it's an obvious scam. Click the sellers list. It says to contact them before buying. For the record, WHEN BUYING FROM AMAZON SEND MONEY THROUGH AMAZON, DO NOT SEND MONEY THROUGH PAYPAL OR OTHER NON-AMAZON METHODS.

    The NODE 202 is the closest thing to the Sentry.

    Another point to note, if a seller requests that you use another service instead of Amazon to sent money through, it's definitely a scam. Do not send money directly through Paypal or any other money service. Go through Amazon.

    The only times SLI/CF is worth it is when you've already got the top end video card but still want more performance. Or you want to win a virtual dick waving contest at the benchmarking website of your choice.

    They're probably wrong, but it's actually possible in a way. Many "Unlimited Data" plans have a limited amount of data at 4G speeds with anything past that downgraded down to 3G speeds. So if you use your phone's data a lot, then yes, you actually can "run out of 4G."

    Oh boy, here we go. First off, I go the legitimate route. If I can pay for it, I'll do so. Note that I'm talking about piracy in general and not just software or applications. But I will pirate if it's just not possible to give them my money, even if I want to. Sometimes, a "Thing" is not released in this country, or sometimes the original publisher, developer team, artist team, just went bust. Because the original creator(s) won't get my money either way, I have no regret pirating when the team or people that deserve my money no longer exist. Media that I pirate for this reason tends to be obscure animes from the early 2000's. Games with crippling DRM, massive bugs, and/or is expensive as hell I just don't bother buying. I'm the kind that can hold back wants and it's done me a lot of good and saved me a lot of money that I would've otherwise spent on shiny garbage.

    Well he's got the cooling part correct.

    I'm currently on a laptop with a functional but somewhat clacky laptop keyboard, a cheap Logitech mouse, and a pair of Sennheiser HD598 headphones. (The Noctua looking ones.) The keyboard is alright. It works, but it's easy to get achy fingers. The mouse feels cheap, but its lasted me for longer than I expected. The HD598s are definitely the highest quality item in my current setup. I'm a bit of an audiophile, and I do like my music to sound great.

    Basically, people can operate Minecraft servers of their own. Other people can join the world(s) hosted on the servers. The operators can set restrictions on the players. (No griefing, no building outside of the designated area, no custom skins, etc...) Some server operators can lift restrictions or even grant special abilities or immunities to certain players who pay lots of money. I assume that's correct anyways. I haven't played on a Minecraft server in ages.
