  1. It may well be 3, I cant really remember as it was quite a while ago now.
  2. I've got the airflow version which I haven't put in my signature so make sure you are looking at that and not the other 275R model. It comes with two generic black fans, I swapped them out for a couple of noctuas I had hanging about. Its got a decent amount of space to work in at the back and the overall build quality is really solid, definitely recommend.
  3. My recommendations would be the Meshify c, 4000D (airflow), P300A (mesh) and the 275r (airflow), in my experience all of them have good airflow and are pretty silent+ good to build in. All come in black/grey models too.
  4. Sounds like a good plan, I gotta go find my sword collection.
  5. I got the yeti mic last year and it had a problem upon arrival, called them back and they were super helpful and sent me a new one. I would call them up and see what's happening.
  6. Its a better idea going for a used last gen GPU right now than getting a 3060 at MSRP which is next to impossible. The p300a is imo best in class for this price category, great airflow and OP can add in a couple of extra fans which will cost less than $30. The ram is actually the cheapest module that will run at 2933 on PcPartPicker so I went with it.

I obviously don't know about availability in your area but a 1660 super or 580 8gb should be what your aiming for, might require a bit of lowballing and waiting though. If you manage to find a cheap/good deal, investing in some extra storage would be a good idea.
  8. I assume OP is using this for mining or something like F@H. I didn't notice OP was planning to use multiple GPUs, my bad!
  9. Have a look at the power supply tier list here on the forum which is super helpful. Look at models from tier A, anything above 1000w will be fine. You could probably get away with 850W, although you would be cutting it close. Don't buy according to "reputable brands" loads of known manufactures have made poor PSUs in the past. Edit: I didn't realise you were putting in two GPUs. My bad!
  10. No one hear will have any idea on here as the forum is separate to LMG. They clearly were planning to complete it at some point but with a lot of the projects that LTT do, they can run into a few roadblocks that can delay it. It would be cool to see another part though as desk pcs are quite interesting and I personally love to see creative projects like this! Edit: there was actually a desk pc video posted a few weeks ago where they used that Lian-li case, don't think that was related to the project though.
  11. PCPartPicker Part List: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7MqY7X CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor (£403.20 @ Newegg UK) CPU Cooler: be quiet!

I would recommend building this system now and re using the Vega 56 until you can snag yourself a 3080. ( if you want to increase your chances of getting one turn on stock notifiers ect.) I left the RAM out as it sounds like you could carry it over if its DDR4 16GB, what speed is it? Ryzen does prefer faster RAM. Edit: I usually prefer air cooling as in general its better and cheaper, you are loosing out on some aesthetic elements but I think the Pro 4 looks quite good.
  12. I would recommend the Pixel 4a or one plus nord, both of which are pretty good value and good performers for their prices. I get where your coming from but unfortunately most phone parts are being imported from China . I actually wouldn't go for phones from Xaomi or Huawei ect. as I find the software a lot more muddy and cluttered compared to standard Android based phones.
  13. Then mount it vertically. People have told you multiple times that the chance of running into any problems is tiny. Its up to you now if you want to do it or not.
  14. As I said twice, there is always going to be a problem with every piece of hardware but it will only surface to a tiny amount of people. If you think that the risk is to great for you (even though the chance of something going wrong is miniscule) then DONT DO IT. I don't quite get what the problem is with just leaving it mounted horizontally apart from a small aesthetic sacrifice.
  15. There has been with others, but I cant recall a particular case with this riser cable. Honestly your probably going to be 99% fine so just do it or not. I mean its not going to be the end of the world if you don't mount your GPU vertically, if your are generally worried about it then leave it mounted in the normal position and bin the cable, at the end of the day your card will most likely get cooler temps and have more air flowing through it when its mounted horizontally.
  16. What type of tech are we talking about? You might want to narrow it down to make it easier to discuss as "tech" is quite a broad subject.
  17. If you feel to nervous and doubtful about it, then don't do it. There is a risk of something going wrong, but there always is with most things (however small it is).
  18. Dust builds up in every system, it looks like you don't have much airflow in that particular case so dust will build up quicker there than cases with better airflow in general. Edit: if you want to clean that dust out then I would suggest you take it outside and clean it with some compressed air that you can get from amazon for pretty cheap (or a hardware store). Could be worth taking it apart as the dust build-up looks pretty heavy there.
  19. I would go with the 3600 and tomahawk option due to it being the best value out of the two, furthermore Ryzen chips in general will provide better multi-tasking performance.
  20. If you don't mind biting the bullet and paying inflated prices then do it. They are all bad prices but if you don't mind waiting for stock to come back in (and hopefully for better prices eventually) you'll get a better deal.
  21. As someone stated above this is probably a bad place to conduct this, most people on here are enthusiast PC builders so you wont get accurate results compared to your most likely target audience (general consumers wanting a PC without any hassle).Another side note to this, alot of people come on here and ask questions about starting up something like this. PC building as a business is incredibly hard to make any money in, with shipping, warranty issues etc. I mean unless you know that you have a good enough base to run this in your local area, its basically not worth it.
  22. The 2070 super has the most reasonable price there/best value so I would recommend that. Should handle streaming and most games pretty well.
  23. I wouldn't be too worried about it if you have a bracket installed, you would have to apply a lot of pressure to take the pcie slot of the pcb. There's always going to be a tiny bit of sag even with a bracket. I see people putting in those pop figures to keep it completely level so if your still concerned you could do something like that.
