  1. Last year I purchased an Akko 3098B Ocean Star keyboard and a Glorious Model D- mouse...both are wireless using USB dongles. They seemed to work fine for a while, but now I have interference issues... I had both of their USB dongles on the same USB 3.0 hub with no problems until the past couple of months. I've tried moving one of the dongles to another USB 3.0 hub on the other side of the desk and then also onto the desktop PC, but that didn't change anything. I've come to find that the interference is in their proximity to each other on the desk...after moving them further apart, they work. This is fine while gaming, but for normal typing and other tasks where I need the kb centered and the mouse close, this is no good... Anyone have this issue? Anyone have a suggestion/solution I can try? Thanks for any help!
  2. How about the Lian Li Lancool III? I have the non-ARGB version of the 420mm Liquid Freezer II...it will fit up top, but not in the front. It is very quiet, no rattles, and that case has a USB-C port on the front panel
  3. I've also built in both cases, the 4000D for my son and I use the Lancool III, and both are great cases. If you don't fill up the inside of the Lancool III with components, there will be a lot more empty space, compared with the 4000D...it might not be as pleasing to the eye seeing the emptiness. Building within the Lancool III is way easier because of the case features, flexibility, and the extra empty space to work with. Building within the 4000D is fine and not any more difficult than other cases.
  4. Lian Li Lancool III or save money with last-gen's Lancool II Mesh. Neither fit your $30 budget, so you should just save up to get one of the cases mentioned...
  5. You might want to get the Flow version of the NZXT H510 case for better airflow and thermals, especially since you are air cooling that 12600k. It is a big jump in price, though...perhaps another airflow-focused case that's closer in price to the H510?
  6. The Lian Li Lancool III has great airflow, plenty of space to work with, and comes with 4 140mm fans.
  7. I want to hold the hoses from my AIO up against the fans (see pics) so they're out of the way of my GPU backplate. Does anyone have any suggestions that will look clean? I've tried tying the hoses with a Velcro strap and placing a Velcro strip to affix to, but it didn't hold...
  8. The Lancool III comes with a dust filter at the bottom of the case for the PSU, but the front and top grills have no additional filters behind them.
  9. Intel i7-12700K Asus Prime Z690-A motherboard 2 x 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 CL40 Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420mm AIO EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming Lian Li Lancool III case Corsair RM850 PSU Samsung 980 Pro 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA SSD Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD The Lancool III case was fantastic to build in, with plenty of room to work in, flexibility for future upgrades, and easy cable management. I knew from Gamer Nexus' review of the case that it was possible for a 420mm radiator to fit up top, with some caveats, so I wanted to try it instead of the 360 that GN recommended. I had to ditch the rear exhaust fan; it has been the first build I've done that didn't have one, so it looks weird not having it. The 420mm rad wouldn't fit with the front fan bracket in its stock orientation, but after flipping it around, I had the room to make the 420 fit. The case is quiet (compared to my previous build in an NZXT Phantom 240), but it is pretty heavy!
  10. Update: I installed the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 AIO up top...like Gamers Nexus mentioned in their review, the rear exhaust fan has to come out and there's no room for it. Also, in the case's stock front fan bracket configuration from the factory, the 420 will not fit. It won't let the fan bracket completely close. I took the bracket out, turned it around, and reinstalled it, and that let the radiator fit :). Just don't forget to route and plug in the motherboard's EPS power cables before installing the radiator...
  11. Just watched GN's review on the Lancool III...they mention 420mm radiators will fit up top, with some caveats. Installing a 420 might make the top fan bracket non-removable and eliminate use of the rear 140mm exhaust fan (it's at the 8-minute mark of the review). GN recommended no larger than a 360mm radiator...I ordered the case and a 420mm AIO before the review came out; we'll see if I can make it all fit!
  12. I'm hoping to build a new desktop later this year, but I don't know what to do with my current system (Intel i7-6800K, GTX 1070, 32GB RAM, Asus X99-E mobo). I don't stream and don't know of anyone else who needs a desktop PC. I've had this PC for over 5 years and would like to still keep it if I can find a purpose for it... What do you do with your old systems? Any ideas for repurposing?
  13. Velocifire has wireless keyboards that have backlighting and mechanical switches. I use a Velocifire VM02WS (which is their full-sized model) and its been great. When I game I will still plug it in, but most of the time I use in in wireless mode (which is 2.4GHz, not Bluetooth). Velocifire has the TKL02WS that you might want to check out...
  14. Where will this PC be located? If this will be somewhere in the main worship area, one consideration is how loud the fan noise might be during the preaching... I second Moonzy's recommendation, and with a system this nice, I would also make sure it is secure so that no one could open the system and grab parts or just take the whole PC
