    mattrunyon got a reaction from failblox in Which of these routers should I get?   
    Ya I just noticed that it didn't have gigabit. I think I'll go with the RT-AC56U. I can spend a bit more, just don't want to spend $150-200 on a router at this stage. Thank you so much for all the help!

    I disagree on the RAM. If he's video editing and rendering (possibly in 4k he said), he will want at least 16 with 32 being preferable. After 32 the return is negligible.

    mattrunyon got a reaction from SpaceWalker189 in Any suggestions on my first build? (1100$)   
    You could save a bit of money by swapping that hard drive for a non-enterprise version. 2TB should run around $70 or so (although idk prices in Denmark). The case you have picked out comes with a 200mm fan, so no need to order one unless you are planning to replace it. Could also save a little on getting a semi-modular PSU instead of fully modular (unless you plan on getting custom cables or doing them yourself). The downside is most semi-modular will only be 80+ Bronze efficiency, but really not a big deal unless you're building a mining farm.

    mattrunyon reacted to esplin2966 in !nverse: A Highly Versatile Console Form-Factor Case Design   
    Hi everyone, I'm here to tell you about an exciting PC case design I am working on. It is called "Inverse". I would very much appreciate any comments or criticisms you may have regarding its design!     My venture into the world of custom-designed cases began when I started building in the tiny Minibox M350 case. Being in a long-distance relationship, I needed something small and powerful so I can take my research with me on a 13-hour train ride every weekend. My pragmatic need for a portable PC soon developed into a full-on obsession as I find myself endlessly tweaking parts and designing mounts to cram as many components as I could into every last bit of space. It is from this obsession that "Inverse" was born.   Shaped by the ethos of fitting the most performance and versatility into the smallest amount of space, Inverse is a sub-10L computer case that can accommodate a full-length graphics card, a 240mm closed-loop liquid cooler, 3.5" and 2.5" hard drives, and a SFX power supply. Its versatile internal layout accommodates hard-core gamers, enthusiasts enamored with water cooling, media hoarders looking to create their own home theater, and anyone in between. Its smooth yet eye-catching exterior will blend into and enhance any desktop or home theater setup.       No exhaust holes on top for a smooth and unobtrusive look.

              Internal components are inverted to allow a smooth top panel.

              Monitors, speakers, and other desktop peripherals may be placed on top to created an integrated entertainment unit with minimal footprint.

              Available in black, white, and possibly other colors. Let me know what you like!

              Specifications: Dimension: 464mm x 308.5mm x 72mm (10.31L)   Material: 2mm aluminum for the exterior, and 1.5mm steel for the interior skeleton.   Inverse is designed with 4 interior configurations in mind, though other configurations are possible.   1) Gaming with air cooling i) Accommodates Mini-ITX motherboard.
    ii) Accommodates SFX or SFX-L power supply. iii) Accommodates one graphics card up to 12" (305mm) in length, 5.91" (150mm) in width, and 1.81" (46mm) in thickness. iv) Accommodate air coolers up to 55mm in height. v) Accommodate up to 3 x 3.5" drives and 4 x 2.5" drives. vi) Accommodate up to 2 120mm x 15mm case fans over the graphics card for added cooling.

    mattrunyon got a reaction from Gikero in Elegant Solutions for 5.25" Bay Mounting? (Help?)   
    I found a black adapter. From the Q&A somebody said you can install this inside the 5.25" bay and leave the case cover on without problem with a 3.5" drive mounted to it.
