My worst mistake must have been starting to invest into my PC. It is such a big money magnet and I haven't spent money on anything but electronics for the past 4 years.

I plugged a 4 pin floppy connector into a CD aux connector on a sound card when I was quite young. The blue smoke that made the sound card work escaped.

This should run Minecraft...

Yee.

Return the 970 and get a Nano?

Cut gaping hole in side panel. You win.

Loosen the mounts on the panel window so it bulges a bit? You know what they say about noticeable bulges...

Wingdings!

He is talking about the Microsoft fonts Comic Sans and Papyrus.

YOU DECIDE AT GOLDFISH.COM

Awesome!
 
2015 = Year of hacking

His youtube channel was recently hacked. BUT HE HAS RETURNED FROM THE INFAMOUS TOWEL ATTACK OF 2015 3:!!!!! Whelcome back Joel, your a s**t son still.
 
 
 

  <<<his return video.

towel is no more

 
And, youtube gave all of his videos back

Minecraft: Story mode? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We're working on last piece of the puzzle which is vents optimisation vs filtering vs performance vs manufacturing possibility and meanwhile we're thinking if there's any more room for optimization of the layout and hard drive mounts. Last two weeks we were quite overloaded with other work.
 
We're planning to launch at the end of the year but life shows you can't plan everything perfectly. At this point I'd rather make this properly from the start instead of launching it asap and making revisions later down the road.

Wut, airflow wise, noise canceling wise? what
define best
 
for me i think the h440 is best b/c <3 sexyness but poeple don't like it because of airflow
 
its all down to your likings of its features

We have a little teaser for You. I hope You'll like it
 
(Sorry for quality but my bro (Saper) made those photos with his potato-phone. Please also notice that this is still unpainted prototype without galvanized cover, so it's a little bit rusty. At this moment it's prepared for point-welding and it's only screwed by screws. As You can see, Saper currently put his PC components in it, and he's working on this RIG)
 
 
  

Contact ASUS. I am 80% sure they will sponsor you.

DDR 2 wow that one old system.
 
I would not bother upgrading and save for a replacement

Nzxt make some good stuff, and it not super expensive, hope this is good

Oh no! atacked by a lunch box!

As for the noise video - We could do the video on that but I think it's better if linus includes that in the review. I'm assuming you want a video where we use some noise measuring tools/apps.
 
I think from our perspective it's better to do a noise map with distance from the rig when sitting in front of tv and on your desk in such config rather than a video.
 
As for the cpu cooler - the case isn't such cramped you'd need NH-L9 unless your cpu socket is close to the pci-e slot with chipset on the opposite side. It fits boxed intel cooler without problem and we're still waiting for cryorig C7 to check it out since it's supposed to be next big hit on low profile cooling.
 
The custom paint is possible but we'd have to figure out how much of you want different colours. We'll probably do that after reviews. If there's big numbers for lets say red and blue then it might work. Otherwise if there's few people wanting custom colour we might do that but with no return policy as that would be a custom item we most likely wouldn't sell to other client upon return.
 
Anyway we're still not sure if we want that additional customization just yet so most likely only black and white versions for initial run.

I'm just going to keep posting questions as they pop into my head, sorry if it gets annoying but I like to research before I buy.
 
Noise : Will you please do a demo video of the final product showing system noise when idle and under load so we can get a rough idea, ideally with a reference GTX 970/980 and a Noctua NH-L9-i (I suspect that is the cpu cooler most will use due to height)
 
Case : Is it possible to order different colours, like a blue powder coat instead of just black/silver? this would be a really nice feature even if it costs a little more, maybe if this is released on kick starter you can do reward levels so you know enough people will order a set colour so the price can be kept low, just an idea.
 
Thank you,

1) We're figuring out the filters, vents etc for the final design currently and it's a big one to tackle. All other things are ready, I think. We either need to find a proper and not pricey way with filters that won't kill the thermals or figure out smaller vent holes manufacturing. That's the last thing stopping us from manufacturing at this point.
 
2) We actually didn't have any problems with hot air from psu being pushed back inside the case. In vertical position cpu was only 3 degrees hotter than in horizontal position and that was with cheap and hot OEM 430W sfx psu.
 
SFX-L psu is actually really cold even under load so the air it's pumping out is not so hot in this configuration. There's really a lot of headroom on 500W sfx-l when running 150W gpu like 970 or even 180W R9-270X.
 
The psu mount isn't moving and the distance from the outer wall is constant. it's required to have space for psu plug and usb connector for all of the psu C14 connector locations. If it were all located like in those SFX-L we could think of moving it 14mm closer to the outer wall but it would mean cramping those cables there even more.

Water Cooling 101
I have been reading a lot of posting in this sub-forum and am seeing a lot of the same questions. So I figured this forum need some basic guide to water cooling. My basic idea is to take a ton of information on the internet and condense it down to as short and simple explanation of Water cooling. This should be a good starting place for most people. You will need to much more research than just this to be a successful water cooler.

I have spoken to a Mod and this should be made into a sticky soon.

My goal with this guide is to be of a FAQ than more of a building guide. Try and explain everything that has to do with what goes into a custom water cooling loop. I am trying to make a guide that will work well with Linus's water cooling videos on the NCIXcom Youtube channel. Trying hard not to cover what he has but make sure nothing is missed.

So welcome to my Basic Noobies guide to water cooling. Please feel free to comment or post with your ideas of what I could add or change.

So why do we water cool? Why would you want to stick a tank of water in a box of very expensive electronics?
This is a question that gets asked a lot on the forum and I thought one of our members summed it up best;

From our own MdX MaxX;
“It's not just about temperatures, but about noise. With water cooling, you can run fans at much lower speeds and lower noise levels than you can with air cooling and achieve the same temperatures. Especially for GPUs, I mean GPU fans get loud. Plus you have the benefit of cooling everything you want in the same loop.

And "good enough" isn't what enthusiasts strive for. Sure, multi-hundred dollar loops aren't necessary. An NH-D14 or Silver Arrow is "good enough." But being a PC enthusiast is much more than having a "good enough" rig. Most people here would have much lower-specced PCs if they only wanted what was "good enough" for them.

Also, it's fun. Building is fun. Taking on [such] an intensive project is a thrilling challenge for a lot of people. You get to really absorb the experience rather than putting together a system in 2-3 hours and then you're done.

And lastly, water cooling loops are freaking gorgeous. I mean look at them.

I would just add that for most of us that use water cooling is more than getting the best performance out of your rig. For most of us it is a hobby. Once you get started it is hard to stop. You always want to try something new or add something to you loop, or even multiple loops.

Hello there, fellow hardware geeks
 
For some time now we've been running a small project in order to create a proper console form factor pc case that we could manufacture and sell for reasonable price.
 
There's two of us in "WE": SaperPL and ZombiPL - we're both engineers, hardware geeks, have tons of experience with building and fixing pc's and we have the experience of family company designing and building heavy industrial machinery and renewable energy power plants. ZombiPL is experienced mechanical and automation engineer and I'm a game developer with a few titles credited already which hopefully will help us in marketing the product through different channels
 
The main idea was to get as close as possible to 6.5L volume which is around the size of X360 and PS3 at the same time making it possible to fit full length 305mm VGA's and upcoming SFX-L standard power supplies. Our main focus was on form and function and because of this the case might be a little *different* than all that tool-less stuff you get in enthusiast range cases nowadays.
 
We went with full-metal design without any plastic front or covers because the cost of molding matrixes would mean we have to get big initial order (mass production) to start manufacturing and at this point we'd rather start with something we can do regardless if we get 1000 or 50 orders. Case design was consulted mostly on the hardforum small-form-factor subforum.
