dust filters so the new one doesn't bite the dust 

http://www.caselabs-store.com/bullet-bh7-atx-case/  comes to mind

how about one of these http://www.caselabs-store.com/bullet-series-cases/ they have itx matx and atx cases

Suitcase.

it was just an asus 760 direct cu2 so i needed to upgrade anyways lol

People dog them so much, but what do you guys really think?
 
Personally OSX, especially Capitan and the newer versions, are a pleasure to use, although I still love the Windows 10 experience and the like. The only drawback in my opinion is lack of support on certain programs from the Internet, stuff like Dolphin Emulator, many certain Steam games, and those kinda things (not even sure if Dolphin is supported, just using as an example). 
 
I think the aesthetics are great. If the newest MacBook actually had some vents, I would consider getting it and BootCamping it and using as a daily driver (however my mileage may vary ). But the design just has drawbacks, and I don't like spending a crap ton on adapters. 
 
What do you guys honestly think about Mac computers (excluding the Mac Pro). I know this has probably been a thread before, but what actually do you guys think?

this also a reservoir dosnt cool the liquid thats the radiators job the res just holds liquid if its not cooling enough you either need a bigger rad or higher static pressure fan to push more air

IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
 
But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
 
I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
 
These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
 
 
 
In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
 
We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
 
This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
 
With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
 
Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
 
Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
 
We couldn't. We're hiring.
 
I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
 
Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
 
So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.

for small buisinesses, the answer is actually very, very simple: data sharing, and redundancy.
in a lot of small buisinesses theres a windows server set up with a domain, and every workstation logs on trough the domain server, meaning the following:
- the workstations have their own windows installation, but beyond that dont contain much
- everyone can log into their account, with their files, on any desk.
- if a workstation is stolen, it contains no sensitive data
- the server containing the data can be locked up against theft, can be easily backed up to a fireproof storage solution, etc.
- people who work remote can log in to the server trough a VPN, and work as if at the office
- workstations can be cheaper because they dont *have* to be 100% reliable, if one cuts out they can just grab a spare off the shelf. (if a company has a workstation that HAS to be active in order for the company to function, thats usually the one that dies, the less of those around, the less of them that die. dang murphy.)
- administrative settings go trough the domain, meaning people cant fudge witht heir workstation *as* easily.
- probably some more stuff i forgot.
 
as for schools, mostly the same deal, but for them its more to avoid those little rebels from ruining their expensive stuff.
 
as for big corporations, take what i just said, and multiply by 100.

That silverstone case looks like the nzxt Noctis 450 

Hello there everyone. This here, is going to be a bit of a different build log. An extremely small for factor case. High end components. A long story and a parts list that changes a thousand times. Watercooling, and more. So, let's begin.

Background
I've always loved PC's, and PC gaming. I built my first PC many years ago, and gradually throughout the years started making faster and more powerful builds. My previous build was relatively new, and pretty powerful. I had also been going smaller and smaller as time went on, too. My previous build to this one, was quite nice. And relatively high end. It was the first time I actually had the money to make a premium looking, and performing PC. Growing up in a family with limited income, it was hard for me to pursue my passion. My last build performed pretty well. It had an i5-4590S, a GTX 670 4GB, and 8GB of RAM. It was made of good, quality parts, but it came to an end. A faulty power supply caused in a smoldering SSD, a dead HDD, a questionable CPU, and a very friend PSU. Funnily enough, I do believe the "faulty" PSU may have been my fault. It was a Corsair AX760, and, when plugging in my modular cables in the dark, I was actually able to plug a connector in between two others, with half on one connector and the other half on the other. Strange, it sounds, but it fit and I was able to actually even boot and run the PC. While it was a good PC, this, over time, started damaging components. The first time something went wrong, I noticed when I tore-down that build. I replaced the motherboard, and when the new one came, I rebuilt the PC. Things ran okay, for a little while, and every other component seemed okay. 

That wasn't exactly the case though. Even though I now had the connection on the power supply as they were meant to be, eventually a month or two later I had an SSD fail on me. It was an Intel 730 480GB SSD. I knew these drives were incredibly reliable, but assumed it was just bad luck. After I got my replacement solid state drive in, things ran fine again for another few months. But one night I was casually browsing the internet, with my girlfriend in the room with me. She asked me to turn around to see something on her phone, and I did. When I turned back to my PC, I grabbed the mouse and went to move it. I noticed the system was hanging/frozen, however you'd like to call it. A few moments later, I got a blue screen of death. Not just any BSOD, but one that was in such a low and scattered resolution, it was incapable of being read. After that, the PC wouldn't boot. Within the next few days, I tore down the system again, and testing individual components and testing them outside of the case, I ruled out what was bad and what was good.
 
So, once all the sadness and aggravation from that subside (after all, I did spend well over eight hours doing custom cable sleeving and everything, too!) I decided it was time to rebuild. The previous build was in an In Win 901, and despite all of it's power, I decided I wanted more. And this time, I had all the money I want to work with, after finally starting my career and getting "ahead of the game." The In Win 901 was a beautiful and surprisingly well performing case, but I had my eyes on the NCase M1 for a long time, and liked the idea of a truly small, powerful build. I also liked the idea of a challenging build, due to size constraints and compatibility.
 
The Planning
All my life before this, my parts were relatively out of date. Even with the fabled 901 mentioned above, my components were often a generation or two behind. In example, still having a GTX 670 as my graphics card when the 900 line was out. I decided I wanted to go with something that had a lot of power. Now, most of it I should be able to actually utilize, but, I've also always wanted an extremely top-notch, up-to-date, over-kill PC. But even in the original planning of this build, it wasn't as just described. It was actually a pretty strong build, but relatively mainstream for "high end." The original parts list, after doing some research in to some other user's builds on the NCase M1, and seeing various pictures and builds online went as followed:
 
- NCase M1 -
- ASUS Maximus VIII Impact Z170-
- Intel i5-6600K -
- 2x 8GB DDR4 2,400 MHz -
- Intel 730 480GB (A replacement, brand new and good drive) -
- 2x Western Digital Black 3TB HDD's (one new, one replacing previous dead one) -
- LG GA31N slot loading CD/DVD drive -
- ASUS GTX 970 Mini -
- SilverStone SX-500-LG -
 
Well, I had ordered the case, and received it. I was then planning to start ordering other parts, as well. My layout plan was something I saw from ChipHell. It was to basically have a cage for two 3.5" HDD's towards the front of the case on the bottom. I'd then have a 120mm, or 92mm fan, intake on the bottom directly for the GPU. I was also planning two intake 120mm fans for the CPU area. Well, after receiving the case, I realized that layout doesn't work without modding the case. If it were a regular case, I'd have modded it without a care. But this case is a bit of a hassle to get a hold of, due to it's limited production run. Speaking of, I also mistakenly ordered the black version, and need to try and get a hold of silver panels for the case. So, after realizing that wouldn't work, I was in a predicament. Where I'd either sacrifice on some CPU cooling, or, need to sacrifice one of my HDD's, and GPU cooling. I waited a week or two, trying to decide what I wanted to do. During that time, I caught wind of a single 6TB HDD, made by Western Digital in the Black color. Which was excellent, as it helped me have the capacity I wanted with only one drive. Running it now, I like it. It's fast, but just a bit loud and sometimes warm. Regardless of that, I then decided to go with a full-size GPU. The place I originally intended to mount my HDD's then became the mounting location of a 92mm fan for intake on the GPU. I also decided since I was going with a full size GPU, to go with something slightly more powerful. In this case, I opted for a GTX 980. I did the power calculations and saw that the 500w power supply was sufficient for this kind of load, as well. I also opted specifically for the 500w SilverStone, because I heard rumors of the other smaller, non "SFX-L" power supply's fans having an annoying pitch. Which I didn't want.
 
So I ordered the drive, and ordered the GTX 980 (a reference version, as it was cheap, the blower style is effective for cooling in my scenario, and I may upgrade to a NVidia Pasqual GPU upon release). I was getting ready to order my board and CPU, when a friend told me to get the i7-5820K. I always wanted a HEDT CPU, but had been sticking with ITX for the past few years. And I had already ordered my case, so, it was a bit late to change a case to something else at this point. But he also informed me of the lovely ASRock X99e-ITX/ac. I looked into the board, and the reviews, and liked what I saw. I did some more research, as I was originally planning on ordering the i7-5960X for it's 8-cores, 16-threads... And found out that Broadwell-E should be support on LGA 2011-V3/X99 boards. So, I decided on ordering the i7-5820K as a place-holder until the i7-6950X released. The i7-6950X is rumored to be a 10-core, 20-thread monster. I'm aware of the Xeon CPU's, but, decided an i7 is what I wanted. This decision also affected my RAM choice. I'd heard rumors of only certain kits of 2x 16GB working with the i7-5820K. And I saw a special sale price for my current memory (2x 8GB) for only about $35. So, I ordered that just as a place holder as well, and will upgrade my memory with the CPU. My next task, was trying to find a new CPU cooler compatible with the LGA 2011-V3 Narrow ILM socket. Which was a lot tougher than it seems. It seems to be extremely limited, even with air coolers. I found out most AIO coolers do work with it, but wasn't sure if I wanted to water cool at the time. And if I did water cool, my thoughts were to do something more like a custom loop.
 
I eventually settled on the Noctua NH-D9DX i4 CPU cooler. At only 110mm tall, this would allow me to place the cooler where it belongs on the motherboard, and still fit a 120mm fan for intake directly over the CPU and board for intake. So, I had placed an order for two Noctua NF-S12 120mm fans for intakes, and a Noctua NF-A9 92mm fan for the GPU intake. Upon receiving, I went to place everything into the case. I had an issue here though, as you'll see in the pictures further down. The cooler physically fit, but the NF-A9 92mm fan on the CPU cooler needed to be offset due to RAM clearance issues. This disallowed the use of the NF-S12A 120mm directly over the CPU/Motherboard area. I also then decided to use a Noctua NF-A9x14 92mm x 14mm fan from a Noctua NH-L9i cooler I had, as the rear exhaust fan for my case.
 
The Build
The build process was relatively painless. The motherboard installed went easy. The CPU cooler installation was also very easy. Managing the cables and placing headers on the motherboard was easier than most other ITX cases I've built in before, surprisingly. Cable management was the most time consuming part of the build process. I opted for SilverStone's sleeved PSU cables for the aesthetic and ease-of-work. I also had to use SilverStone's CP-B11 super-thin SATA data cables to fit them between the power supply (due to it's extra length) and the header on the motherboard for SATA. When trying to install the graphics card, I needed to remove it and turn the power supply around, due to the offset of the cable ports on the power supply. An issue users with regular SFX form factors PSU's need not worry about. Placing down the HDD caused some pull-back on the insulation of my PSU's SATA power cables, but I carefully used some electrical tape to fix the issue. So, like an idiot I installed everything inside the case before actually testing the build. Here's were we get to the next part.
 
The Heartattack
So, I had the build assembled. It was time to turn it on. And that's what I did. It booted, all fans, HDD's, and Disc Drive spun up. But there was no display. I, trying to remain calm, tried different display cables, different display ports on the graphics card, as well as different displays. Still nothing. So, I went to the next idea. I removed the GTX 980 from the build, and placed in my old GTX 670. I closed the case back up, and upon boot, there was display output. So I was wondering: Is my GPU bad, or is my PSU insufficient to power this card? I took the card to my roomates room, and we tested it in his PC. He had a 750W PSU, so it should definitely have been enough power. When we booted his build with the 980, it displayed like it should. So, then I was wondering if my calculations were wrong as for the power requirements. I did them about three more times over, to double check myself, and every time I had the same results. At least 100W of head room, under the 500W limit of my power supply, as well as within the amperage for each individual rail on my PSU. So, I went on to my next test. I took the GTX 670 out of my system, put the GTX 980 in it, and disconnected my SX-500-LG PSU. I then connected my old Corsair TX 750 V2 PSU to my system, and tried to then boot. To my surprise though, I still had no display once again. I then decided for the heck of it, to check my motherboard BIOS. I updated them to the latest version, and still had no display when trying to boot using the GTX 980. Very confused, and very aggravated, I removed everything in the system and connected it all externally. Using the components chosen for the system, outside of the case, it booted properly and had display. I then re-assembled the system inside the case, and found myself even more amazed when it worked now! My only issue now was the CD/DVD drive wasn't operating properly, but it seemed to be one of the screws holding it into it's caddy space was preventing it. After removing the one screw, it's been working fine. I still never found the exact cause of what was preventing my system from booting. I don't believe it was a short, as the card has a full-cover back plate. The only thing I can think of is the fan header, or audio header, were preventing the 980 from sitting in the motherboard properly and after re-doing my cable management when re-installing the build into the case, it allowed the card to sit properly.
 
The Current Status
So now, we have the build running. I set up windows, got all my settings the way I wanted, and was pretty content, just waiting for the release of the i7-6950X as well as possibly waiting for Pasqual GPU's. During an AIDA64 CPU test, it never peaked 50C which I found incredibly surprising. In my actual usage, the CPU never gets over 45C on stock clocks. The GPU, though still a health range, idles around 30C and can heat up to ~81C during gaming. This started giving me the itch for water cooling. I looked into getting a 120mm AIO for the CPU, but found LGA 2011-V3 Narrow ILM compatibility to be a tedious thing to sort through, and didn't want to spend another $500 on a temporary GPU to be bundled with a cooler, "waste" the money to make an AIO GPU cooler. A friend tipped me off to the EK-XLC Predator 240 AIO system. I loved the idea of it, a full true water cooling loop, but sold as an AIO. As well as being able to, most importantly, expand the GPU into the system using quick disconnects and a pre-filled block. Well, after seeing another user's fitment issue, and doing all the measurements my self, I saw I'd need to modify the case to make that system fit. Which again, something I don't want to do given the limited availability of this case. So I decided, what the hell, I've made it this far, let's design a custom water cooling loop.
 
The Future For "Saiyra"
With all that now behind us, we have the future of Saiyra to look forward to. As we know, the CPU, RAM, and GPU will probably be upgraded. But I've decided I'd like to get a more powerful GPU, than the 980, or next equivalent whatever the naming scheme may be. And to do this, I may need to upgrade the power supply. Luckily, Corsair's SF600 600W SFX power supply is right around the corner. I'll likely order one, soon, and if Cablemod makes sleeved cables, I'll probably order some of those, too! I've been interested in some NVMe drive, to use as a caching drive, or a reliable back up drive. Specifically the Samsung 950 Pro 512GB drive. I may also use this drive to record game play videos, as, running a resolution of 3,440 x 1,440 and saving content to a physical HDD causes my frame rates to drop tremendously on the current system. This is also part of the reason I'm thinking of a stronger GPU. I'm considering for Pasqual's GPU line, to order something more comparable to a 980 Ti, or even the fabled "Titan X," whatever they're new name will be. Those class GPU's are what I'll be looking for. Now onto the cooling. I've always been a huge fan of EKWB's design, and products from what I've seen. So the future of my build for the watercooling, is basically 100% EKWB products, aside from the reservoir. I'm unsure of the reservoir manufacturer, but it takes place on the rear panel, and doesn't require much space. It shouldn't hinder it, because the power cable makes the extra space unusable anyways. Lastly, all I'm trying to decide upon now, is what fans to get for the radiator. I'd like something relatively quiet, but I'm also looking for either white or red LED's on the fans. It's been a white since I've had some LED's in my PC to give it some bling, and I'd like to. I've also done a little "mod," or cheat, to make my power button LED shine red instead of the default blue. Part of why I'm leaning towards red. And then I came across Thermaltake's Riing 12 fans. 120mm "high static pressure" fans, but with 256-color "RGB" changeability. I've also ordered some sound dampening foam for the build, to line the panels with, and will be ordering the DEMCIflex filters for the case, soon, too. I'm also considering painting the heatsinks to a very dark red, and the RAM slots. But that's if I get very adventurous, considering it's a bit dangerous to do, and my style has always been favoring of black, red, and silver. But once all that is done, she'll be complete. Here's some photos of the build progress so far, and I hope you guys are almost as excited to see the future of this build as me. Below also has the photo of the loop plan, which has been slightly re-worked currently to include 90-fittings for fitment, lack of ability to bend of the 10mm ID -- 16mm OD tubing, and also a T-Fitting instead of a quick disconnect, for ease of draining the system if needed. This is also my first time doing custom water cooling, so tips would be appreciated. More to come, and I hope you enjoyed this lengthy read.

for ssd you can use kingstons savage ssds http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-drive-shss37a480g

Bloody good friend you have ahah! 

The case looks nice and vented and the cooler will keep things nice and cool at stock clocks. Wouldn't want to OC too much however. 

But no, you'll have a bloody fantastic pc that's the size of a console! 

Looks good to me man, what GPU you got?

X99 Mini ITX boards do make me laugh when the socket takes up like 1/3 of the board aha! 

Return the CPU and save up for the i5 system..

Using two right now, great little coolers  You can even take the second fan off depending on how good your case cooling is. Have you looked at the U12DXi4 though? It looks a bit beefier, which would be better if you OC.

im not 100% certain iv never used them but they go between the case and the fans so should be good might be a bit annoying to take them off and clean tho
