    TheHopefulPuffin got a reaction from Fasauceome in Q: What PSU To Get?   
    I'm not worried about how much it costs, I'd rather wait longer to save up and make sure it's all going to work properly than cheap out and have everything get fried one day. I just want it to be enough that I can overclock the CPU and GPU with the custom loop and still have some headroom to prevent any issues unload just to be safe. So, say for example the total usage would be 600w, I'd get a 750w.

    Also, how much of a difference does the 80+ certification make? Like, what's the difference between an 80+ Gold and an 80+ Platinum? It's it worth spending extra to get the better rating or does it really not make that much of a difference?

    It's best to avoid online calculators, in general.
     
    what's your budget for the unit?

    A 750watt Gold+ or above i would say would be more than ample to power this system as well as having headroom in the future for upgrades.

    TheHopefulPuffin got a reaction from Faisal A in Hot Wheels Sleeper PC   
    Challenge for Linus:

    Make a sleeper PC out of one of these Hot Wheels PCs (SLI, custom loop, the whole lot), BUT ya also have to find a way to put a better sensor in the mouse (something like a Logitech HERO sensor), put mechanical switches in the keyboard and Frankenstein a high quality pair of speakers into the little Hot Wheels ones.
     
    Bonus Challenge: Make a sleeper monitor too. Maybe you could just make a frame for the PG27UQ that is painted to look just like the original Hot Wheels one kinda like the monitor in this sleeper build:
