    Interesting.The last image makes me think of a Commodore 64 merged with an Atari 2600. Although the Commodore rainbow color order is different.

    Looking forward to it. I'm a long-time Diablo fan.
     
    OT: Is it just me or are case manufacturers getting worse at lining up the grommet pass through for the 20/24 pin power connector?

    They're apples to oranges. Bitwit focuses more on PC building Austin is tech in general. You watch them for different reasons.

    Professor Dingledore got a reaction from WikiForce in 3gb or 6gb gpu? And compability.   
    It's funny to see an article inquiring about the 3GB vs 6GB cards considering I just watched this video below a day or two ago.
     
    While his testing was limited by the ram sticks he had on hand, playing modern games showed that the video card with the lower ram required more ram on the system to compensate since not all textures could be loaded into the graphics card at once. So in short a 3GB 1060 gpu might necessitate 16GB of system ram whereas a 6GB 1060 would be OK with 8GB of system ram.

    Professor Dingledore got a reaction from Mihle in Here are ltt thumbnails   
    I'm one of the (possibly) few that hopes YouTube follows through with this plan. It sucks for content creators because they lose branding options in their thumbnails but I'm so sick of click-bait thumbnails. Especially ones like the movie/tv discussions where they show an image with a big red circle or an arrow and it's just not referenced in the video proper.

    Professor Dingledore got a reaction from 8uhbbhu8 in Youtuber smearing lawsuit?   
    Apparently another Youtuber named Sai has accused several prominent Youtubers of charging companies to visit their booths at events. Is LTT also seeking legal action against this Sai Kumar fellow.
     
    I don't believe the accusation is true, I think it's just an aspiring Youtuber that's bitter because he's not as popular.
     
    Edit: The video below is JayzTwoCents, one of the people being slandered, explaining the situation.

    Thanks! I don't have any printing equipment- I used third party services for both the 3D printing and laser cutting. The printing service has capabilities well beyond the cheaper hobby printers. Stuff I can't afford myself!
     
    Now, time for another major update!
     
    Day two of running my PC in this case. I now installed the GTX 1050! First here are some pics of the case with the top lid closed. And my 70% mech keyboard, an Ajazz AK33, for a size comparison.     Some more shots of the case:       The first two pictures in this post are from yesterday, and I took the one right above today. This is when I started to install the ASL GTX 1050. Also, I'm reconsidering keeping the vandal-style switch. I found it's possible to buy some cables with spade connectors to make wiring a lot easier.   Here is a top view with the GPU in place. This one was tough to install! Any longer and it probably won't fit. I had to unscrew the I/O bracket, then temporarily remove the rear cover to push the card into the bracket.   A big downside to this GPU is that the fan is always spinning at full-tilt and none of the GPU overclocking/cooling programs I tried had any effect on controlling the fan speed. So I installed a fan speed reducer/noise reducer cable with resistor. The top cover had to be removed to fit it all inside.     After that I was able to secure the card into place with the retention tabs.       The rear I/O cutout needs to be a bit longer for a future revision. It cannot fit one of the screws for the DVI port so I had to leave it out. But both ports are still usable.     The following picture shows there's enough breathing room for the CPU cooler below the SSD. There's at least 10cm of space there.     Here's a view of the GPU through the top vents. It should be able to cover some CPU coolers for mini ITX as well, though in a few boards where the CPU socket is closer to the PCIe slot, it may not cover it as effectively. I have yet to test thermals for that kind of APU/mini ITX setup.     After all that, I had to run some benchmarks! I ran Heaven and Superposition first. Lighting is not as good in my bedroom, but hopefully you can see the results.     A score of 4455 on Superposition medium 1080p settings. The GPU temperature peaked at about 76 C. Everything is at stock. Not bad for a 2.6 liter system!

    Acrylic tubes are placed in the part intended for hardware, It seems to me that I was hit by some sort of symmetry, cooling systems are now closed and ready to charge
