    This won't really work, as springs alone are, well, springy and don't dampen a lot at all actually. Besides, I don't know why you're all so worried (@LWM723, @Shimejii and @SKR25). Rolling around PCs isn't a new idea. Even Apple acknowledges that. It would probably look really janky, but a cage inside cage, held in place by tensioned springs, would work like a big microphone spider.

    I'd suggest to make a simple cart made out two layers of plywood (or really any material you like as long as it's sturdy enough and you can work it) and some sort of foam inbetween. The foam shouldn't be too soft, though, so you don't risk your case tipping over. For assembly just attach the casters to the lower board and glue the boards and foam together.

    This sounds hilariously stupid, I know, but press Alt+F4. If no window is opened, Windows will prompt you a window for restarting, shutting down etc. Edit: Please don't, if you are not focussed on the desktop, lol.

    Grounding might be a thing to consider here, as the HDD and the Laptop board have different PSUs. Don't ask me any specific things though because it was just a thought I had while thinking about your idea.

    It even has a handle.

    Just my opinion: As a PC with a fixed location this would be fine. As a portable PC, I would not recommend it.

    Having a big hole in a machine that's supposed to be portable seems kind of unreasonable to me. Maybe there's another way to get that half millimeter of clearance. Depending on the thickness of the side panel, you could grind away 0.5 millimeters of the panel.

    The Beyerdynamic DT 790s or MMX 300s are both headsets which are based on the DT 770s, which are basically an industry standard for closed back headphones. I don't know the big differences between, though, besides the fact they have different mics and are marketed to different groups of consumers. Apart from that, there's always the option to slap a modmic onto any pair of headphone. Edit: The DT 790 might need an amp and even plugs depending on where and how you buy them.

    Masking tape is your friend when doing stuff like this. Edit: As for real suggestions, I'd try tapping the screws out while making sure that screwhole is well supported from below.

    The Meshify series by Fractal Design has this low poly mesh in the front. Besides that, however, it's designed rather minimalisticly, I suppose.

    Is there any AutoHotKey script which uses those keys that you forgot to remove?
  12. startrek03
    If you want to buy the DT-990s, you can just try them out with your motherboard first and then buy an amp if necessary.

    Attaching any cable to such small traces will be a pain in the ass. It would be interesting to know whether the USB port is Gen 2 or something else since Gen 2 is way simpler than newer versions and therefore easier to work with.

    I just know that separate drives won't help you with viruses and that VMs might be a possible solution for running sketchy software. When it comes to actually setting up a VM, I'm the wrong person to ask. If you want to protect your data from being corrupted, just make regular backups to a different drive.

    In most EU countries it would be legal to make private copies of CDs but since you're living in the US that isn't an option for you.
