  1. Good to know! As you say it is a one off and not a mass production product (unlike some of the LTT knock offs which has appeared in videos before), so hopefully Linus is feeling charitable And thank you, it's salted caramel so will be fricking epic
  2. When your other half notices how many LTT videos you're always watching, and upon turning 40 gets a custom birthday cake made in the style of your favourite YouTube channel... Can you even infringe on copyright with sponge and icing sugar? Don't sue me please, Linus!
  3. I have a very fetching ASUS Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC which I would love to see supplanted by a Polaris GPU. Always batted for Team Red and not about to change now!
  4. Update time... just taken a delivery of spare parts to help with the modding process! I've got some spare front panels x2 & drive bay covers x4 as well as a spare front panel button assembly x1 to tinker with... that way, I don't have to destroy the originals! Big thanks to the customer support guys at @Bitfenix for their help in getting this sorted!!
  5. Holy smokes, this would be an amazing HTPC or something to strap to the back of a monitor for a super configurable All in One... *drools*
  6. I think the Feenix Aria headphones are amazing because... wait... WOODPHONES?!?
  7. I did consider white lights instead, not sure if they would look too washed out? Might have to try it though. Thanks Been away on holiday for a few weeks! Just got back to find they've delivered some mesh... and one of these little beauties!! Looking forward to mounting this over the weekend!
  8. I had plotted to make my own custom sleeved cables... as well as trim all the unnecessary Molex & SATA cables - I only need one SATA connector!
  9. It does! those PSU cables are really getting on my rack now though...! Ugly, ugly things!
  10. Minor update - been experimenting with interior case illumination. Not sure if the red lighting is a bit excessive...
  11. Yeah, Bitfenix do a µATX version of the Prodigy, the Prodigy M, which is exactly the same outer dimensions, although probably with much less wiggle room inside; my Prodigy has plenty of dead space for pumps, reservoirs, etc (which I have considered!). For me, 4k is a way off - I'm still gaming at 1080p and quite happy with it for the time being. And yes, the high-end parts are simply not a sound investment, unless you need to be at the bleeding edge. That said, the R9 Fury X did make me drool just a bit. I cannot wait for the day when we get to that point - in terms of the technology, we're pretty much there excluding the most high-end CPUs and GPUs. But with things like HBM making smaller, more power efficient GPUs possible, it is exciting times ahead
  12. Yeah totally agree - SFF is the way forward to my mind. Having owned an enormous ATX tower for years, there is no real need for modern rigs to be huge leviathans any more. Sure, they look imposing - however I'd love to see a newer, more power efficient standard as a successor to ATX where the connectors, standards and power requirements are simplified instead of power-hungry parts which take up huge amounts of room & require monstrous cooling solutions. Not to mention bulky connectors first defined in the standard 20 years ago. Thanks I've wanted to use non-standard screws in a build for some time. Finding custom screws is not the easiest thing to do - I had to order those from the US
  13. I measured the load the PSU was drawing from the wall - even under heavy load during a gaming session yesterday with overclocks the peak wattage never went over 316 watts. I know what you mean though, a higher rated PSU is never a bad thing. Did it? Oh that is a shame - I love the Red Wings, have used them for years! Picked up some new 120mm ones for about £5 each! Ideally I'd buy a new PSU - I'd been looking at Corsair's RM series specifically. However as above the power draw seems to be within tolerances for the time being. As for upgrading, I hope the next time I upgrade the industry will have moved away from ATX power supplies to something more straightforward! Not to mention the R9 Nano using much less power than the R290X... it's a trend I hope we see more of in years to come
  14. The same way I got everything else - I bought them from Amazon.co.uk Definitely - my next step is to either mod the existing PSU to remove the extraneous cables or to invest in a modular PSU with some sleeved cables. Not quite decided yet, depends how brave I'm feeling!
  15. Minor update - delivery from fastener-express.com - red #6-32 1/4 socket screws to replace some of the otherwise ordinary black ones! *to be continued*
