  1. So I've been running Krell equipment for years now and I figured that it'd be an awesome project to find a broken, matching preamp chassis for cheap to repurpose into a computer. I've always waited a high powered living room PC to use as my main rig. I could've easily gotten any off the shelf HTPC case but this option matches perfectly with the power amps I have. Well I finally found one for a good price and it came in today. Mocking stuff up with an mitx board - probably gonna be putting an matx board in here. Don't think I'm gonna be cutting holes for fans anytime soon but there's plenty of ventilation throughout the chassis. Dimensions L x W x H: 381 mm x 483 mm x 15.3 mm I then started to build the backplate in Inventor after quite a bit of measuring and head scratching. Since the GPU in its standard orientation is too tall for the case, I decided to have the GPUs mounted horizontally, one above each other. With this design, I can stuff in an matx board and honestly I don't need much more than that. There's not much clearance between the pcie slots and the bottom of the lower card but I still have some room to adjust spacing. I'll have to get my hands on a flexible pcie riser to see what's up. I could flip the graphics cards around and make it a bit easier to route the pcie risers but I think it looks a lot cooler to have them facing up. I probably won't be doing SLI for now but to have the option available would be nice. Plus, this case is too big to only have room for just one graphics card! Does anyone have any advice as to how I can improve my design? I'm gonna be transferring my main rig into this thing so I'd like it to be as well thought out as possible before I get to actual fabrication. Thanks.
  2. It's not really an htpc, I just want the case to be in that layout so I can put it in the rack while looking nice. It will be my main computer.
  3. Hey! I'm planning a build to put in my electronics/audio/media shelf and I was looking at getting some type of horizontal case/htpc case whatever you want to call it. I already have a 780ti, 4770k, etc in my MITX build but I'd like to add another 780ti and transfer it to this build. So are there any horizontal/htpc cases that fit an atx board + a kraken g10's for each 780ti along with 3 120mm AIO's. I understand that the kraken g10 bracket makes the graphics card a bit wider possibly making matx spacing a no go. Thanks!
  4. If anyone has a spare code, I'd be happy to use it. Thanks!
  5. I think it looks really clean. The aluminum wrist rest is also a nice touch, probably my favorite thing.
  6. Can confirm, LCD-XC's look amazing and sound even better than they look.
  7. http://www.steigerdynamics.com/products-leet-chassis-photos Obscenely expensive, but it does look stunning.
  8. Like alot of people have said, I think it needs to be much wider to accommodate more things such as monitors.
  9. The Stacker series looks awesome with how much hardware you can fit in it but... I vote for a Cosmos stylized mITX maybe mATX shoebox case.
  10. Yeap. The new cudaminer update really helped alot too.
  11. Hey guys, I figured this would be the right place to post this. I have this old Thrustmaster Nascar Pro racing wheel and I was wondering if it could be used on Windows 8? It uses gameport and I know i can just pick up a gameport to usb adapter, but will it work? Thanks.
  12. Just found out about these cat coins. Worth it to mine at all with ~700 kh/s?
  13. Been mining this for the past 3 days. Pretty fun along with a great community. Been able to get quite alot of coins. Hopefully this takes off.
  14. Sounds like an amazing build, can't wait. Title is pretty clever too. :lol: Let me know how you like the Cubitek case.
