  1. You can pre-order the A4-SFX V3 here www.sfflab.com/products/dan_a4-sfx Changes from v2 kickstarter: no option for acrylic side panels riser changed from 3M to lian li for shorter production time more unconfirmed changes possible
  2. There is only one acceptable response to this thread: HAIL HYDRA!
  3. Well here's to hoping they don't go out in a blaze of glory.
  4. MSI Aero OC and Asus Turbo are another two blower (founder's edition) cards Edit: second try since apparently pressed cancel instead of save. Get a 1080ti instead of the Titan Xp. The difference doesn't really matter far more noticeable is the lack of an SSD so get yourself at least a boot drive samsungs 850 evo or pro or if you want to keep that second 2.5" bay open 960 evo/pro
  5. I scrolled through the thread and was disappoint no-one said the obvious! It seems as if the idea of an S8 3.5mm jack is going up in flames. (Naah the horse is still alive and well)
  6. wait how do I uncheck this? @fpo, @SCHISCHKA, @JORGEN297, @Megah3rtz Thanks for the input. Yes. Ideally I'd just get an used Optiplex or equivalent however as this computer is being built for my mother and despite numerous requests to buy one she insists on a new pc "because it's so small, weighs so little and takes up no room." Gaming won't happen as my mother basically uses skype for chat and video calls office for word processing spreadsheets and mail and as a web browser. With that in mind I briefly thought about going i5 (but sanity called what a terrible killjoy) and settled for the i3 with as stated in OP the possible downgrade to g4400 which i keep as an i3 Next cooler. Yeah for the lulz i thought about going NH-D15 (as both case and board support it afaik but not really worth it from a money standpoint) . Probably going to end up with the NH-U12S. As for the industrial fan I was under the impression that you could set a maximum rpm either in the bios or with a program so keeping them in line with the regular NF-F12 but maybe I can get an LTT Edition NF-F12 on cheap side. As for the PSU I chose SFX rather than atx as this build is not for myself but for my mother and some of the cases she liked were SFX-only and if she'd like to change to a chassis without atx support I'd have to get this psu anyway. So in conclusion: Would I build it for myself? No. But in her specific use case I think this build makes sense as she'll use it for like 6-7 years and compared to the laptops she used to buy ("because our 25kg Mid-Towers from Antec were way too heavy and impossible to move") it's closer to a third of the price. (No her use case did not warrant a laptop). Thank [insert deity of choice] I've managed to convince her otherwise.

  7. Hi LTT, I'm building a mini-itx in the Lian Li PC-Q34A case as an office/chrome pc with as much as possible future-proofing. Currently I'm undecided between a G4400 and i3-6100 (or rather their KBL-versions or maybe zen if/when as this is not being built until Q1 2017). The parts were chosen not only for their performance but also value, noise and weight. The PSU is sfx because the build may be later moved into a case where sfx is needed and the sf series is the only sfx psus worth buying and it will probably öast forever. Price includes the sfx to atx converter. The only part chosen for aesthetics was the case fan. I mean really noctua? say no to shit brown and puke tan. Please note: I don't live in germany I just used their pcp site. Prices are from a national store and shipping is free (aka included in price). For refence the G4400 is 65€.

  8. Well at least Samsung's phones die in a blaze of glory, Apple's just get bent. (I guess apple just got a second patent for the iphone 6)
