Hello everyone, I'm going to buy a new case for my PC but I can't find any good cases with 230mm of width and at least 470mm of length. Can someone recommend me a good case (also with good airflow) without passing my 100€ budget? Thank you.

Doing my first build and have been struggling to get the ATX into the motherboard, I've been trying for 2 days now, I've tried to get help everywhere and everyone just tells me to push harder and wiggle, but I've been constantly pushing as hard as I can to the point the motherboard flexes and I've wiggled it plenty, and this is all the progress I can make. There is a little gap and you can see the clip doesn't get under to engage. Do I have a faulty cable or something? The pins are not bent, I attached a picture of them just to make it clear that is not the issue. This has been making my first build a nightmare, would've been one of the last steps before I can finally use it but I'm stuck because of this shit.

Planning a bit of an upgrade for my computer. Fell into some prize money and just want to bring my PC to a bit more of a modern life. Annoyingly I've been out of the hardware research part of my career for a while. Generally if my Dell rep says it'll work I'll throw the businesses money at it when it comes to end user devices If you had $700 AUD ($450USD, $610CAD) what would you upgrade? Main thing is I want to be able to play the new cyberpunk expansion on at least medium settings (at 2k res, which I think it may already do?), and I do a lot of WFH (IT Systems Engineer). This site is a good gauge of what prices are like in Australia PC Case Gear https://www.pccasegear.com/ I'm no brand fan boy, as long as what is going in is going to work that's all I need to know, so no Intel or amd preference, amd or nvidia etc etc. Current specs are: - i5-7600k - Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming (rev. 1.0) - Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200 2x8GB - SSD 970 EVO NVMe M.2 1TB - GeForce RTX™ 2060 WINDFORCE OC 6G (rev. 1.0) - Fractal Design R5 - Some Coolermaster 240mm watercooler - Corsair AX850 PSU - 2x 4k monitors (though I usually set games to 2k)

About two month back, I purchased an old cheap Apple Power Mac G5... Just because I saw this Linus guy and the LTT-Team build their HackPro. Components in the heart of my machine: Intel i7 6700k Asus z170-A ASUS GTX 1080 Strix Since the guy I bought the G5 from sad that it didnt turn on, I didnt even try. I got strayed into the teardown, i found a leaking Liquidcooler-Unit and some parts with water damage. After everything got unscrewed and taken out of the case, it was time to take mesurements. While I waited for the Aluminium sheets to arrive, the design for motherboard-tray and rear io plate was going great. Templates were printed and Aluminium was cut ( buy Hand/Jigsaw... ) Turns out, it didnt fit (Spoiler, the final version isn't fitting perfectly either) The cutout for the fans in the back of the case needed to be a fear mm to the right. So I adapted my CAD file to the changes and redid the backplate. After cutting that again, it was time to mill the edges to fit flush with the original backplate, again... And getting the PCI-slotbracket in place with epoxy, again... The motherbaord-tray still needed some holes so i could bolt it to the original standoffs, cutouts for cables to go through and to safe some weight, of course. In the final version, there is a bridge in the coutout in the top right. Now it was actually looking really promising. I found some spare old parts to use for test fitting in my creation. The pcb-standoffs arrived. Since I only have metric thread cutting tools at home, i use the standoff it self to cut the threads. It worked out fine. The radiator braked in the front still needed some tabs to secure it to the Motherboard-tray, so I welded some on to it. It would have been possible to make it without the need to weld, but then I would have had to get a taller sheet of Aluminium, which was out of the question. So I ended up with this: I wanted to have my PSU securely mounted (not like some other people ). So i rigged a "nice" solution out of spare aluminium that was left over from cutting, which in the end would also be used as a SSD mounting option. And a HDD cage holder was also the result of rigging stuff with aluminium left overs. The HDD Cage was not in the final orientation though. I though I was set up pretty good from the inside, thats when i started drilling some holes. The original cutout for the powercord was taken and placed with some epoxy. (The original plug was used and soldered to a short extension to connect to the PSU and act as a passthrough) To really blend both parts together, I used some filler and smoothed it all out. Now it was time for painting, as i am always short on money, its ghetto rigging time again. Everything was sanded and properly prepped. After redoing the main two parts were the evenness of the paint matters the most, I am still not 100% satisfied, but it is good enough for the time being. In the end, if i dont like the look of them anymore and I have the time. I can just swap them, since they are not modded at all. For front io, i used the existing plug, cut of the wires and soldered the on/off switch, the power LED and the headphonejack to some longer cable i harvested out of an older case. The USB 2.0 Port was repleced with a USB 3.0 Port and some epoxy. The Firewire Port just sits there without a purpose in life. That is all I can do without the real parts in it. Its time to disasamble the old machine. I took some good bye pictures. Don't worry, these aren't all My cpu isnt the newest anymore, that means there is no warranty to be voided, so lets chop the head of with some cheap chinese tool and apply some liquid metal ( dont worry about the professional sketch in the background ). To check if I killed it, I just used my "testbench". The Problem is, that because I dont have a second pc, i was so eager to have my source of addiction back in my life, i took zero pictures of the normal build process... So this is all I got: The cutout behind the Motherbaord was usefull to maneuver the cables around and also helped the plate to screw down, by leaving more room for the 24 pin extation connector. Here is almost everything in now. I still needed to make a new mount for the reservoir. The rear radiator mountingpoints didn't aline with the rear io plate holes. (there is the mistake I mentioned earlier) I solved it by cutting away some sheetmetal in the case to make it fit. At this stage, its almoste done. Gpu support bracket is made, Pump was mounted, SSD's and HDD's are mounted, tubes were bend and front panel stuff was connected. Filling the loop was very easy and no leaks were discovered. I added a LED lighting system with some brackets and used a "normaly closed" switch to turn the lights off when the sidepanel is closed. Ready is my somewaht sleeper build. End result: All Components: Heart: -i7 6700k -ASUS z170 - A -ASUS GTX 1080 Strix SSD's: -Samsung 750 Evo 250 GB -Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB HDD's: -some 1 TB thing -some 500 GB thing PSU: -Bequiet!

If it is ok I would poste the CAD files and the techinical drawings for the rear io backplate, motherboard-tray, front radiator mount, HDD mount and PSU mount. Its not really clear to me, if that counts as selfpromotion or not. Have a good day everyone! edit: Greetings from Germany

Budget (including currency): 300 CAD Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Valheim, eventually more demanding games and school work. Other details (1660TI, I5 9600k, 550W PSU) Hey guys, So I've upgraded my gaming PC and got 1660TI, a i5 9600k, a 550W PSU to spare so I'm looking into building a computer for my kids who's going to play mostly Minecraft and Valheim. I was looking into 1151 socket motherboards and realized that they were way rarer or more expansive than I thought they would be. Found a microATX for 60$, but I don't know much about the different sizes of mobo, should I go micro? Thanks

Currently I have an old corsair 400 something, I have a corsair 360mm aio, a corsair rm1000 watts psu, a strix 3080. Standard ATX MOBO. As the pictures show there was about 2 mm of clearance between my rad and my gpu, very happy and lucky about that. However, my gpu gets some poor airflow that isn't too much of an issue because it's such a powerful card, sits at about 85C after a while tho and can easily get up to 90 on some games that really like to use everything to the max. I want a new case, but the difficult part is finding a case that has all five of the requirements I have. Has to be able to be portable, like intentionally designed to be portable, (otherwise I'd just keep my case as it is), has to be able to support my 360mm rad and that beig gpu of mine, and the full atx or whatever psu I have, which barely fits in this case as it is. Actually in addition I have two HDDs that would have to fit. For the curious: i7-11700KF @5.4GHZ 8 cores, Asus Strix 3080 10G FHR, Corsair 16GBx4 RGB RAM, Corsair 360mm rad, in total six rgb corsair fans, Asus Prime z570 Mobo. In total nine rubby duckies.

So I have an HP Z800 in storage, an absolute banger of a PC, and there's a slight common issue with it, relating to the power supply, basically all it's power allows is a beep, and a blink, then it goes off. I'm looking to replace it with a normal PSU, and I've done some minimal research in the area of PSUs and so far from what I can see, all I'll need to adapt a normal PSU to it would be a passive adapter such as this: HP Z800 ADAPTER. However, I'd just like to confirm if this is a good idea, and whether I am digging myself into a bigger hole of issues or not. I've seen a few tutorials (mainly on this forum) for adapting another HP model psu to fit into the case of the Z800, but I'd prefer not to do those as I don't have much experience or knowledge of such complicated a subject Thanks in advance and sorry for the simple yet annoying question! Attached I've put the pinout of the official HP PSU, given it's unusual nature. (Credit to @Bun_E_D's post for the reference diagram)

Sometimes a design can't be foolproof tested enough, until it "matures" in the open market and break some eggs. Still too much of the QA process is skipped over to meet the deadlines.

Hey there, at the moment, I'm building a DIY NAS to store all my files. I've choosen the ASRockRack X570D4U as Mobo because of its "server/workstation" like features. But now I have a problem connecting the ATX PSU cord to the mobo. The problem is, by design the mobo's ATX port is on the top but the ATX cord of the PSU is about 5cm to short. Should I buy a new PSU ( with modular cables and maybe better efficiency ) or buy a extenssion cord for my PSU ? I think a extenssion cord would be difficult to cabble manage. ( Most ones I've found online were way to long ) Thank You !

Hi! I tried to convert an SFF machine (HP compaq 6000 pro) into a machine that would be able to game moderate games. But i recently found out that when i tried to put into a new case, the motherboard wouldnt fit. I found out that it would never fit in the newer case because i bought an ATX/Micro-ATX Case for an SFF motherboard. So since the motherboard was to old. I decided to look for all new material for the pc (i mean: new motherboard, cooler, cpu etc except the graphics card: asus 750 ti PH) but i dont know what to look for as i am not very technical. so i wanted to ask if someone knew what kind of board i could buy when i mainly just play games like the yakuza games, minecraft, and vr chat. And what cpu would be best for that. also i am on a bit of a budget (around 100 euro's for the motherboard, and maybe 60 for the cpu) so if you could keep that in mind that would be great. thanks already for checking my question out! i hope you have a nice day

My aim is to move the motherboard from PC2 to take advantage of its I7 and put my gpu on it, while putting the mobo from PC1 into PC2 to make both PCs usable by the end. The problem is that the Lenovo motherboard has a 14+4 pin power connector. Which means in order to use the 550W psu on it i have to use an adapter. On the other hand. I have to use the 270W psu on the H61M. Will they work? Will the H61M work with a 270W psu and how will i connect a 14+4 pin into a 24 pin socket? I have: PC 1: CPU: i5 3570 GPU: GTX 950 PSU: 550W Thermaltake (20+4) MoBo: AsRock H61M-vs PC 2: CPU: i7 4790 GPU: N/A (integrated intel) PSU: Stock 270W (14+4) MoBo: CIH81M (Stock Lenovo)

I’m trying to build a custom case and I’m trying to make it pretty small. I have an i7 9700k with a gtx 1070. A flex psu would be nice to use for my build. What would you recommend be the proper wattage? In refence to this topic.

The title really says everything, but is there any decent cases for under $100? I am looking for good airflow, RGB not necessary, but will be nice if you could find some, more than 1 fan, (i can add some in the future) and a PSU shroud.

i'm looking into replacing my Cooler Master MC600P case with something a little smaller, its a fine case but its rather large and i want to slim things down. So there are a few things im looking for small but fits ATX (currently rocking a Gigabyte X570 AORUS Elite ) fits a 280 RAD plenty of room for storage - 2 SSDs + 4 HDs decent airflow im currently using a 2070 super asus dual oc (10.5 " x 4.7 " x 2.28 " Inch) so it should fit in most cases p.s. I recently saw the video on the Lian Li O11 AIR MINI, but im shopping around first

Budget (including currency): Not really set right now. I don't want to go super overboard with the budget, but i'd like a nice gaming rig. (Our Currency is the euro! €) Country: The Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I'm kind of a game hopper, but i like heavy games as Witcher 3 or Tomb Raider. But i also love Multiplayer games as Satisfactory, Destiny or Age of Empires a bit all over the place Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): So this is my planned build: Case: Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P MAX (this model comes with a PSU 850W Gold, a Watercooled AIO, an extra sidepanel, a GPU Riser and some other accesoires) Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX CPU: AMD Ryzenn 9 5900X Boxed RAM: 32 GB (2x16GB) G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-4000C16D-32GTZRA SSD: Samsung PM9A1 2TB NVME Fans: Coolermaster Masterfan MF120 x2 & Coolermaster Masterfan MF140 x2 (i like some RGB in the case :P) And for now i'll salvage this from my current rig: SSD: Kingston A1000 960GB GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX1080TI What do you guys think of this planned build, do you guys have tips or comments on this? Maybe something i could do better? Let me know! For reference, my current build is: Case: Coolermaster Cosmos C700P (I know it's massive this is the reason i will downsize to ITX xD) Motherboard: ASSU ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K Boxed CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X72 RAM: 16 GB (2x8GB) G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3000C16D-16GTZR SSD's: 250 GB Samsung 970 EVO 960 GB Kingston A1000 250 GB Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 500 GB Crucial MX500 2.5" PSU: Corsair HX850i Extra's: Cablemod C-Series AXi/HXi/RM (White)

Is there any negative to a SFX psu? longevity? when compared to a standard ATX? I recently motherboard swapped my one system and the board is bigger. I've considered removing the 120mm fan from the psu and adding a pair of 40mm to the rear or finding alternative psus. I have just a hair over 3in for psu height so swapping to a SFX would fit I just didn't know if their was a lower life expectancy or any negatives to SFX vs ATX, it has the 24pin 2(eps12v) and 8 4pin connectors as well as a few pcie and sata. Not enough slots to plug everything but enough to use the cables that i need. My other option is to order a flex atx or server psu and use a breakout board. A different case or board is not an option. So is there a negative to SFX? this is the unit I'm looking at unless there are any better suggestions?

Greetings and salutations, I am, new to this. I also need help finding a pc case that can more or less fit into certain dimensions, so here are the details. I have an atx mother board, with an atx power supply. Mounting a phenom ii 965 be. Two years ago I bought an 82 uhdtv, its thin, it was a pain to install and I am not moving it. The pc runs the games Im playing fine, some even 4k. Installed a shelf under the tv to hold a few things and left space under the shelf for a few crates for hardware. Not finished. Either way. My pc doesnt fit under the shelf or on it. These are the maximum dimensions under the shelf. 34,3h-24w. With cm. I can play a few cm with the width. I cannnot play with the hight. ¿Is there any case in the market that could actually comply with that dimension without costing 100 dollars? I will not change the motherboard or the power supply if i can evade it. Price range, less is better. Way over my head and wallet with retro stuff already. Many thanks in advance. P..D: Should have stuck with emulation and yes, the door can open and close almost to its full. I could just lay down the atx case buth something smaller would look better?
