  1. thats actully a pretty good idea, surprised i dint think of it myself lol
  2. i know, im not claiming to have it bad, just that i shot myself in the foot when picking the case
  3. enough that im tightening down the mic stand, the knob/bolt it uses rubs against the top of the case
  4. The case: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Crystal-Series-680X-RGB-High-Airflow-Tempered-Glass-ATX-Smart-Case/p/CC-9011169-WW?utm_source=PCPartPicker_79301&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=497986_CORSAIR US Product Catalog Ad&utm_content=Corsair&clickid=RpPREVwhuxyLUJiwUx0Mo38eUkB2VUUpsShm2E0&irgwc=1 So when I first bought the parts I knew i would have to shift some stuff around in my room to be able to fit it where I wanted to. What I had not accounted for was just how big the case would be. (Yes i read the dimensions on the website and converted them to ft/in so i could visualize it). The stand i had originally built to put it on was too tall, and when i tried it in place, the top of the case was in the way of the knob/bolt that tightness the mic stand down to the desk. I have since re cut legs at a height witch will eliminate that issue but the other big issue is that in shifting my desk over to make room for it, it would sort of block the one and only ac/heat vent in my room. It wouldn't be totally blocked enough to make a difference. Now to most people that might be a big deal but to someone who gets sweaty very easily (me), it does. To those of you who would say just put it on the desk, 1. i like my monitor where it is now, and having my laptop right there too, and 2. I tried that, and if I do that I would have to move the mic to the other side of the desk witch when i held it there to see how it would look/feel/work, it felt too award. To those who would say put it where the desk drawers are, to do i would have to take out all 3 , and of which are pretty full as is and I have no where else to put the stuff in them. All that said, in the end I am glad i went with the case as I defiantly need all the extra space when connecting everything. See photos for refrence; https://imgur.com/a/wJ5WaN5 (mods if this in the wrong form let me know and i will gladly move it)
  5. not sure, didnt even realize they had anything above the i9 series at the time
  6. Power supply was $130 usd on newegg Case was $275 usd directly from corsair Ram was $227 usd directly from corsair Cpu was $383 usd from amazon Cpu cooler was $170 usd from amazon Motherboard was $170 usd from amazon Thermal paste was $6.80 usd from amazon (not including shipping)
  7. For those asking why i went with the i9, 1. was cause i could/had the budget and 2 was i knew i wasnt going to be able to get a graphics card so i wanted something with built in graphics.
  8. Budget (including currency): $1.5k USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (kerbal space program, sims, city skylines, fivem, Minecraft, photo and video editing, light 3d work and audio editing, general day to day web browsing and discord use, Other details 2 1tb Samsung 860evo ssd, 1 new one and 1 that is in my laptop right now (the one in my laptop will moved over once I figured out how to set up case next to my desk). At the time of purchase it was $1,066 (including shipping) (the power supply actully cost $140) Cable management still needs to be done. by the time me and friend that was helping actully got it all connected, we choose to wait to do the cable management another day. See the finished build here Due to the current prices and availability i wasnt able to get a graphics card, but if anyone at lmg is reading this and is feeling generous, I'll gladly take a graphics card off yours hands. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZV9Frr
  9. no need to be rude, it was just an idea that crossed my mind
  10. So i was watching the "CPU cooling with boiling liquid" video and when linus showed the cooler at 3:30, it got me thinking, would it possible for a liquid cooler system that could generate steam and drive a small fan that would in turn generate power. Let me explain the thought process. The cooler looks like a very small nuclear reactor, and if you are familiar with how a nuclear reactor power station works you would know that the boiling water in the reactor makes the steam that drives the turbine that generates the power. So what if you applied that same process to a cpu cooler, You have a tank of water that sits on top of the cpu, the heat from the cpu boils the water in turn making steam then that steam is pushed through a fan that would act as the turbine and generate power. Now obviously this doesn't take into account that you need power to get the cpu to heat up or the fact you would need an endless supply of water to the tank that sits on the cpu, but its still fun to think about. Let me know what you guys think.
