I'm just wondering if there are any owners of the case that can tell me if the lack of a dust filter in the top vent is a problem or not. I'm sure it'll be fine when powered on, but what about when it's powered off for some time? Does this case need to be cleaned out more often than others? Would it be worth it to mod a filter on the grill? Or are there already any third party dust filters for this case? Thanks in advance!

And this is stupid issue imho. It BSOD's at shutdown only if i was playing Team Fortress 2 earlier. It shutdown fine if i wasn't playing TF2... I have opened memory.dmp and it says that it's caused by wanarp.sys and bugcheck code is 139 (KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE) Any ideas what could cause this problem? I give link to memory.dmp, it's compressed 300mb file.

It's a great little unit for any single gpu config due to the low number of pci-e cables despite that it should be able to support some multiple gpu configs otherwise.

I am looking at setting up a water cooling system for my computer. As my system is built in a Silverstone FT-03 I have only one 120mm exhaust fan. Right now I am looking at the following: Phobya G-Changer 120mm Ver. 1.2 - Black $45.95 XSPC FLX Premium Grade PVC Tubing - 1/2" ID (3/4"OD) - 2 Meter (6.5 Feet) Retail Pack - Clear/UV $16.49 Phobya ZuperZero Clear 1000ml Phobya ZuperZero Clear 1000ml $14.95 Noctua (NF-P12-1300 )1300rpm Premium Silent 120mm Fan - Sleeved x4 - Sleeve Color Black - Heatshrink Color Black $79.80 Phobya 13mm (1/2") Barbed Fitting G1/4 with O-Ring (3-Style) - Black Nickel x8 $23.60 Phobya Pure Performance Complete Watercooling Kit 120LT 1x Phobya CPU-Cooler UC-2 LT Intel 775,1155,1156,1366,2011 - Black Edition 1x Phobya G-Changer 120 V.2 1x Phobya DC12-220 12Volt Pump 1x Phobya Balancer 150 black nickel 1x Phobya G-Silent 12 1500rpm Red LED ( 120x120x25mm ) 7x 13/10mm (10x1,5mm) compression fitting G1/4 – black nickel 1x 13/10mm (10x1,5mm) compression fitting 90° revolvable G1/4 – black nickel 1x 3m Masterkleer Tubing PVC 13/10mm (3/8"ID) - black 1x Phobya ZuperZero Clear 1000ml 1x Tube cutter 1x ATX Bridging-plug 1x printed manual und Phobya stickers $166.95 Lamptron Elite Aluminum Reusable 3/4" OD Liquid Tubing Clamps - Anodized Black x10 $39.90 Sub-Total: $387.64 I think that this is probably about as much cooling as I can squeeze into this little case. Anyone have any other options / opinions?

For my new build I have decided on this case and I have a few questions about it. 1.Do I need to use a reference GPU (blower style cooler) 2. What are my options for CPU cooling? (120mm fan bracket, heat sink config and watercooling?)

"Losing is fun!" - Official motto of Dwarf Fortress (It's literally in the tutorial.) Here is the official site: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Dwarf Fortress is an ASCII art based game that is ... well ... extreme. In so many ways. And I love it so far. You can consider this my first impressions. Reasons this game exemplifies PC games for me: Incredible complexity Immense potential built upon that complexity Very Free (Lol) Very Moddable It requires time to truly experience and appreciate it. I feel I could describe the PC the same way in most cases. Although regarding "free", tons of freeware, but not much free hardware (giveaways are exceptions). Before I continue, read this please (it'd take about 2 minutes I think). It's a story about a fortress that experienced quite a bit of traumatic of events. So yeah. The possibilities are endless in most cases. Note, however, that the game is currently version 0.4.1 or so. It's been in development since 2006 and the developer considers it his life work from what I've heard. In fact, what are features and what are bugs is a very big grey area. Good luck with that. But regarding the bug vs feature topic, here's another story from Dwarf Fortress that gave me chills. Note that this is audio and is around 16:30 long or so. I feel it helps define DF for new people (as it did me). http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/09/18/dwarf-fortress-story-the-queen-is-now-available-and-you-should-listen-to-it/ I can't believe it took me so long to hear about this game. I found out about it on Slashdot (http://games.slashdot.org/story/14/07/09/0335213/dwarf-fortress-gets-biggest-update-in-years). The Tutorial is very sparse. It basically just gives you can overview of each thing that is about an inch deep. i.e. "Go here to do this stuff, you need these requirements to do it." and that's about it. I've yet to experience combat, but I'm waiting for my first Goblin hoard with anticipation. I feel like this is the type of game that your enjoyment is tied directly to how you choose to experience it. If the ASCII art graphics turn you off immediately, then ok, but I feel like the way the game separates you from what is happening (as the reader mentions in the above story "The Queen") is important for the story aspect. It, imo, pushes you to make your own story about the events unfolding via your imagination. Even though I consider myself to have a pretty bad imagination regarding creativiy, I'm doing well in this game enjoying the story I've given my characters personally. I guess that'd only appeal to a certain type of people, but I encourage everyone to try this game at least to the point of learning it enough to get a basic fortress started (a few rooms, some supplies, things that'd take you about 30 minutes to 1 hour of playing after you learn how to mine and such). You might love it like I do. You can stop reading this here and check out the game or post in this thread if you want. From here on out, it's just my experience with the game (somewhat blog form).
