Maybe it would help if I explain:

I currently have an issue.  That issue is that there are few server chassis that can support watercooling.  Why must I watercool?  Among other things, so that I don't have several sets of fans reving at all hours.  Now I could throw down $1.7k to have a chassis like Linus, but since I need more than one, that seems impractical... So, whilst looking at parts I came across PCI Slot passthroughs for tubing, and thus the idea to have an external watercooling setup took shape.  No longer would I need to pass up the smaller 2u and 3u chassis since I could watercool them if needed. 

I was planning on suggesting such a project for an episode, having them watercool all their servers to one Extreme Rad.... But doubt it is something for them to try. 

I have every plan to purchase Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 1260mm SuperNova Radiator to handle my Radiating needs for my server rack.  My main issue is that I can not for the life of myself find a shell for it.  I was going to step down to the 1080mm version since there is a verified shell for it, but said shell no longer seems to exist on any of the sites I have browsed, Phobya Nova 1080 Box is what it is called. 

I know I could go with a Mo-Ra3 420 pro, but that is almost 2x the cost, more when you add the grills...Think ~$400us for a Radiator and nothing more...  ^_^

Anyone with some options:  *Note:I would love to be able to rackmount this whole thing, but found that rather harder a nut to crack...

I just Purchased a Chenbro RM41300-FS81 from Newegg.  It has 8 pci-e slots and my primitive sketchup models suggest that an XL-ATX that is less than 13" long should be able to fit.

I also found the XCase X465E could work; https://www.xcase.co.uk/products/new-x465e-4u-13-expansion-slots-due-20th-feb

Does anyone have any first-hand, or I would accept second-hand, knowledge of a 4u Rackmountable Server Chassis that can hold an XL-ATX motherboard?  XL-ATX defined as 13"x11" as the Motherboard I am looking to fit is a Gigabyte TRX40 Designare which states the size as 12.8"x10.6".  Any help you may have would be appreciated.

I don't suppose anyone could tell me where to find a replacement M.2 Standoff for my motherboard.  I went to install a new M.2 Drive and found I was missing the Standoff, yet I have ~8 M.2 screws.  I looked to see if it happened to be under my current M.2 drive, just in case, but alas, it was not so.  So I come here, and to the ASRock forums, to ask. 

I was hoping someone could assist me with my small issue.

I bought the ' XLR setup 1" group from the Top 5 Mics under $50 video. 

My issue, I can not for the life of me get Windows 10 to switch the UM2 into 1ch 'mode'...  So I get the lovely Left Ear only audio from the mic rather than in Both.

[Obligatory Steps Taken...]

Attempted to use the Official ASIO4All Drivers...  Nada (So far as I saw, the 'drivers' are more of a plugin...)

Installed WDM Drivers...  We have sound, but no 1 channel option in the Default Format dialog....

Spent ~3 hours looking up solutions on Google...  Nada that is usable...I think...

Any help would be appreciated.

I am 99% sure it is the Ram...  I swapped RAM with my MediaPC and thus far the Media PC is the one BSODing and Restarting...

My question is: how could memtest86+ and WMD miss the issue with the Ram?

New developments:

Swapped out GPU with 1070 from friend's pc. No more, as far as I know, random turnoffs... 

Instead, we get Page_Faults and IRQL BSODs...  So, progress I suppose. 

Decided to Clean Install win10 to remove possibility of a Driver issue...  I am hopeful... 

Installed the GPU on the 13th, I think, didn't start having issues until about Wed.

Also: Ran a test on the SSD...  No issues reported.

So do you mean the system becomes unresponsive and you have to turn it off?

What graphics card did you have before the upgrade?

The system turns itself off, as though the power were cut.

The GFX card that was in the PC before was a 270x.  It died.  Then used an HD7870 from my server until the new card came in.

As a side note:  I have had the PC lockup today while doing simple stuff like Solitaire...  (Full lockup requireing holding the Power Button.)

Recent change to system: New Video card ~1 week ago.

Problem:

• PC turns off randomly (Think power being cut so no logs)
• There does not seem to be a trigger to cause the problem

Steps taken to attempt to troubleshoot:

• Cleaned system
• Reseated all components
• Ran a 12 hour Stress Test on both CPU and GPU to rule out Overheating

Computer:

• MSI Gaming Pro Carbon X370 Motherboard
• Ryzen 5 1600X
• 2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 8gb DDR4 3000 Memory
• MSI Twin Frozr 1070 Ti
• EVGA 650 GQ 80+ PSU
• Mushkin TRIACTOR-3DL - 512GB SSD
• Win7 Home (I know...)

So, a few days ago one of my Computers started to turn off randomly.  All temps are well within Range.  I have had it turn off immediately after hitting the windows startup screen after a cold-boot once.

Thus my problem.  Having ruled out, as best as possible, overheating, I haven't the foggiest why the computer would just turn off like that.  I would switch out the video card to rule out a bad one, but I haven't an extra to try and it had no issues I could see when being stressed at 100%. 

I created a Sketchup Version of his plans, well mostly,,, 

The parts include the .25" saw Kerf, you will need to adjust for larger/smaller saw Kerf.

Until I see Part 2, I can't do the I/O Cutouts nor can I do the mounting holes for the various parts.

Oddly, the only Innovation that would be needed for this to work would be allowing each panel to have it's own sub-bios while the Processor panel can combine them together. 

Personally, I would love to buy a modular Motherboard.
