You can actually buy a Linus Rackmount PC Case but its ermmm quite expensive: http://www.protocase.com/about/spotlight/linustech/

Most of the Optiplex cases are BTX motherboard size instead of ATX, so you will struggle to find a case that can be modified. As people have mentioned just hot glue the logo somewhere, it will save time and money.

Buy it, if you don't like it or its littered with dead pixels then just pay the return shipping, otherwise keep it.

The temperatures you have said are perfectly fine, start worrying about 80 C unless its made by AMD, then worry at about 100 C.

My understanding was that the issue is that they asked you to add their affiliate link to your bookmarks, not that the the link wasn't to a specified product. Although I think that Linus has probably been able to resolve the Issue with amazon as he has taken down his twitter posts about the issue.

Just a quick thought, Does the SD Card have a lock switch on the side? Is the SD Card locked?

The only problems that come to mind are: Security: If the cooler appears to have been tampered with they may get worried but if its like it was when It came out the box it should be fine. I would make it accessible i.e. so when you open the case its the first thing that you take out. This means that security can see that you are definitely not trying to hide something, and they wont have to mess up all your neatly folded clothes in order to have a look at the cooler. Pressurized cargo holds: If the hold is not pressurized then potentially the cooler may leak due to the increased pressure difference. However I wouldn't worry because most modern airlines have pressurized cargo holds. Hope this helps

This may seem low tech, but a brown paper bag will be the safest option. its not plastic and resists static build up. Don't use a standard plastic bag.

I would choose your favorite pair of headphones the fit your needs within your budget and then attach this: http://www.modmic.com/ I use Mod Mic on my AKG702's, but you can change the earphones to your preferences. Read reviews, shop around and choose what fits your needs. There are two styles to choose from that you need to take into account, Open backs or closed backs. Open back earphones have a larger sound stage but leak sound both ways, Closed backs have a smaller sound stage but give you better noise cancellation (passive). My personal opinion is that any software based "7.1" Surround is pretty much useless and a good set of headphones with a large sound stage will give you pin point noise tracking in game without having to use some half baked software solution that will always be limited by the headphones themselves. To give an example my AKG 702's while not the best still gave me enough noise tracking to be called out for hacking countless times in CSGO because I could hear perfectly the location of noises from around the map.

No problem, Im not sure but if the other side of the magnet is clear/flat, you can sand down the old logo side, then spray paint a base coat of primer to cover up all of the rough scratches and things, then spray paint a base colour of your choice. Then turn the magnet around so the flat side with no marks faces outwards. Then you can use this guide to give you some tips about using vinly, Its not a perfect guide because they use a machine for the cutting but if you get the logo as simple and as big as you can then free handing it shouldn't be too bad. Whats good about vinly is if you mess up it doesn't mean you have to sand down the surface and re-paint it.

I would bring the "Tech" down a line so your image is like this: Shadow Tech Then it will fit the case badge size better In terms of making the badge itself, well you can take the existing magnet, sand off the thermal take logo and then either use vinyl or spray paint stencils to produce the desired logo.

You could cable tie the important cables away and then make a couple of extra cables that are more accessible and sacrifice them to the cat, although as someone mentioned the raceways are probably the safest, easiest and neatest option. Knowing how sharp cats teeth are I wouldn't think any protective cable wrap would work, unless its like Kevlar reinforced with carbon fibers. Potentially some steel wire armored cat5e would work but its usually quite expensive per meter and not 100% certainly going to stop the cat.

You will probably need to use a HDMI Audio extractor, Its an active converter that picks up the audio signal in a HDMI cable and breaks it off so you can connect some speakers. The converter will have a pass through so you can then plug a cable into the monitor. Hope this helps!

My conclusion... bad idea unless you have a shock mounted flight case.

35 inch is TV sized, I am assuming its actually a 25 inch? Anyways its still a standard 1080p panel so there will not be much difference between the monitor they already have.

What do you play? FPS, e.g. CSGO, then get a High refresh rate Otherwise its just a case of getting the best resolution. Potentially a G-Sync monitor may be worth it if you want to have a smoother playing experience.

Potentially a High spec Lenovo ThinkPad may have the power required, but tbh In my personal experience touchscreen civ isn't as good as I was expecting it to be.

Photos?

This option is more expensive than a software based option but you can use a hardware timer that cuts power to the computer. Something like this is quite good:https://www.amazon.com/BOB-Screen-Manager-Manage-Video/dp/B000GU78UY/ref=pd_bxgy_79_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=M7WJM7A8SDK84ZJP7PCZ

Not allways the case, when manufacturers build "pre built" computers they buy the components in bulk quantities direct from the manufacturer. This means that they pay less for the components and sometimes this saving is passed onto the end user. It's also important to factor in the cost of a windows 10 license key, it's commonly missed out when comparing the cost of a pre built vs a custom built.

When I host LAN events its nice to have two computers, one for playing games and one for hosting servers. It would make it much easier if I can transport them in one case. But really there are only a few specialist situations where a requirement for a dual motherboard rig is required. The generic PC gamer will find it hard to make use of a second mobo. Another use case which I don't use at the moment is If you want to run two operating systems from the same box, you can have a linux PC and a Windows PC running side by side.

I call this story "Would you like some batteries with that?" So when you work in retail, you will meet your fair share of shoplifters. I worked in an electronics shop, so we got shoplifted quite a lot...okay maybe like 3-4 times a week but anyways. Okay so we sell CCTV kits at this shop, they retail at about $700 each on average. So we do our best to keep them secure. So our CCTV corner has the cameras out on display for people to look at, Although what people don't realize is that all of them are recording. So one day a guy walks into the store, and after a bit of browsing he picks up a cctv kit and then walks out without paying. So firstly because of our CCTV camera display we now have High definition video of him stealing the kit from about 8 different angles. But wait a bit, the story gets better! 2 minuets later he walks back into the store, this time he picks up a set of battery's and instead of shoplifting them he decided to pay for them. So he walks up to the counter and pays by CREDIT CARD. So for anyone not aware, we can print out a log of all the card transactions. Now for the icing on top of this idiot cake... We have a special offer program that you can sign up to and get discounts when you next come into shop. My friend who was on the till at the time (we didn't know he had stolen anything by this point) asked if he wanted to sign up for some discounts. AND HE DOES! So we now have: His full name His full address 8 High definition video's of him stealing a cctv kit and Confirmation of his identity because only you should know your credit card pin. Within 3 Hours the police had arrested him and our CCTV kit was returned to the store. TL;DR Don't sign up for discounts. Ever.

Natural Selection has failed us, Its time to build death robots!

I can simplify all of that: Touches phone to nfc to pay for lunch, opens Bing.
