1st of all, if this is wrong forum pls move this. OK, so, i moved to a new apartment and have about 2x2m space that will serve as a "man cave". To maximize the space and also display my PC i want to make (or let someone else make) a custom PC case that is wall mounted in the corner (so between 2 90 degree walls). Only CPU would be water cooled but probably with a preinstalled cooler since i'm a noob in that department. I don't expect this to go fast, and i can do my own CAD (or Inventor) sketches. Also, let's consider budget unlimited for the time being. All that said, where should i start with all that? What materials i should use, how far ahead do i need to plan for hardware (i do want it to be upgradeable) and what are some pitfalls i could run into and should watch out for?

Hello everyone I tried to do my own research but I am unsure whether the conclusions I made are correct. The general situation is that I want to run a cable from my PC to my TV area. If I'd run the cable directly straight through the room it would be about 5-7m distance, but as the cable is supposed to run inside the walls it has to be longer. I want to be able to play / watch stuff on my TV in 4K in the future. I don't have the TV yet so that makes options a bit easier. Preferably I could also hook up the sound system to it in the future. My options as far as I see them and the difficulties / questions: 1. Steam Link with a CAT-6e cable: I bought one of the original Steam Links and have never really used it. I am not sure whether it is smartest option as it indirectly limits me to that product and Steam. Would I also lose access to HDR? 2. HDMI: For the 4K60Hz I'd need at least HDMI 2.0 better would be 2.1, but even active optical 2.1 cables barely reach 10m. So an active optical 2.0 HDMI cable would be an option. 3. DisplayPort: I would need a cable with the DP8K DisplayPort Cable certification to have HBR3 (High Bit Rate 3) or UHBR 10 (Ultra High Bit Rate 10). But the range of DP cables is even shorter and only a few TVs offer DP ports. I feel this is the worst option. 4. Thunderbolt: This is where I got confused the most. It has the same port as USB-C, so I can I use the USB-C ports of my motherboard (Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard) or do I plug it into my GPU? Then I just use a Thunderbolt to DP or HDMI adapter next to the TV? But I think apart from being a bit unintuitive upon first sight I think this is my best option. What did I miss here and what is my best choice? Thank you for your help in advance.

Good Day Everyone! I just recently got back into computer modding, after a long stint of using Mac's and well... Not modding. I ran across the LTT Youtube channel several months ago, and have to say it has brought me back into the game, so I figured what would be better than to share my new idea and hopefully build with the LTT community. I am the father of three quickly growing kids, and a dynamic shift has started in my household, I have gone from the primary consumer of tech, to the secondary consumer, behind the three kids. Our demand for media, access, and gaming, is growing at an alarming rate. My mac book windows machine and xbox, is quickly becoming underwhelming. As a solution to the ever growing need for tech in my home, the media wall was conceived. The Plan: Wall mount a PC that will act as a NAS/Media Server for the whole home. I have a man cave/ office that will house the machine, and because of that I wanted to make it a piece of art that could hang on the wall as much as an useful piece of equipment. I would love any feed back that you might have as this is simply in the planning stages of its life. The build will consist of 2 Thermaltake Core P5's that for lack of a better term will be smooshed together to create what appears to be one large wall mounted unit (See crappy renders attached to this post). The tripple rad is overkill, however I think it will make for a great conversation pieces, and is for aesthetics only. I plan on running several HDD's in some sort of Raid setup with a single SSD OS drive. Hope to find a decent but not overly powerful GPU, again just for aesthetics. I will keep this updated as I make progress. Any input you might have at all would be amazing!

So I have $50 to spend, and I would like to use it to decorate my room. I already have desks and all of the necessary things, so I was hoping you guys could recommend me some nice posters or other wall things as well as some nice desk things. Anything is nice, and I can squeeze another $10 in there if it's necessary.

Hey guys! This is going to be the start of the planning and execution of a wall-mounted PC build. The truth be told is that I'm not the most experienced when it come's down to DIY, so this will either end up beautiful (with the trusty assistance of you able individuals); or absolutely terrible. Whilst my PC knowledge is okay, I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to building anything. To begin with, what would you say was crucial for a wall-mounted PC build? Maybe some of you have built one previously and can impart some tips to assist me as I progress? 29/08/2017: Currently compiling my part's list which are due to be ordered via next-day delivery at the weekend. Thank you in advance!

Hello, so this is my config: Xeon x5670 Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R rev 1.0 with the newest bios 3x 4GB Kingston HyperX HKX1600C10D3/8G tripple channel I recently put my hands on this whole setup (with memory) as i brough it all for like $160 so the price to performance ratio was too good to ignore it. As far i managed to OC it to 3.91 GHz with all power saving features enabled. But the voltage... to make it stable i had to use 1.3 cpu vcore which seems high, i heard 1.3v is the maximum "safe" voltage on this chip, because the "voltage spike" might occur and increase the voltage up to +0.05v, and any voltage above 1.35v is dangerous to this chip (intel specs). Anyway, i dont think that too low voltage is the issue. Temps are quite ok, from 34-40 when completely idle, from 40-50 when doing light tasks like watching youtube + browsing web + few other light apps, to 70-75 on hottest core when stresstesting. I tried to lower the multiplier to 20 and setting blck to 200 and memory multiplier to make it round 1600 with all stock latency etc to be sure memory is not the problem - it didnt even post, had to reset the cmos. I tried to downclock the memory with my current 22x multiplier to be as close to/bit lower than stock 1600 and setting latencies on stock - still if I'm getting above 3.91 its not stable, no matter what. Any magic trick that i missed? Anyone had similar setup and managed to solve similar issue? I heard 4.0 GHz oc is easy even on x5650, so i was hoping for, like 4.2 on my x5670 but cant get past 3.91 :c Full config on the screens

Hello LTT, I want to make an setup with an s340 elite inside an space in a wall, the air can flow through the space because it is a little bigger than the PC case, would the temps of the PC be good? sorry for bad English, ~Sven

Recently decided to take an old HP Laptop from 2009 that had a broken trackpad, keyboard, and a dead battery and disassemble it to see what I could do with it. I have a server that is just my old Gaming rig that I use for storage and BTC mining, but I dont have a monitor to use it with, so I needed some sort of terminal or something. That's when I had the idea for this. Its a crap laptop, but can still run Chrome and RDP just fine (All I need it to do). I just reapplied thermal paste due to it overheating in the past, and nailed it to my wall of PC parts. It works great for playing music while gaming and stuff too. Sadly, I dont have a HDD for it due to it needing to be used to replace one that died in my server, so I just installed windows 7 on a 16Gb USB using WinToUSB. This is the result of my boredom! Enjoy! (Notice me Linus-Senpai)

I would like to know how you guys attach sound dampening foam to your walls? Specifically, how do you make it so the foam sticks easily to those 3M Command Strips? Do you tape the foam to make a good sticking surface or do you glue it or something else? Any help will do.

Hey everyone, I recently moved into a new apartment (rental, so I'm limited to pretty much keeping the same network setup), and was happy to see that they had RJ45 data ports in the wall. Unfortunately, when plugging in ethernet cables, nothing is recognized. I've done a bit of digging and some exploring since then, as I'd really like to get this to work. In the closet, there is some sort of a network panel, which looks like the first image below. I have checked all the jumpers, and made sure that they are jumping the "data" pins, and not "voice" pins. I have done the same with two wall jacks (second picture), and jumped the data pins, which the voice pins are left uncovered (there is white plastic covering the voice pins, but they are not jumped). Finally, I have plugged an ethernet cable from my router into one wall jack, and then tried to plug my computer into a second wall jack (both are jumped to data), but nothing gets picked up.... I have also tested each ethernet cable directly into the router with my laptop, and they work. This is really bugging me, as my modem can only sit in one place in this apartment, and it's not where my desktop is. I'm paying for 300mbps down, but at the moment I need to use a powerline adapter to reach my desktop (cannot have cables running over the floor here) and the fastest speed I'm getting from that is about 45mbps down. On a side note, I've never seen network panels like these before, either in the closet or in the wall jacks. Has anyone else. I also see that there are RJ45 ports labelled J1 - J6 in the closet (first picture). Do these need to go into some sort of switch? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Okay so I'm planning to wall mount my atx computer. My question is that would the components be safe if I just screw them directly on the spray painted plywood in terms of ESD?
-
So I'm building a wall mountable PC with an atx mobo and psu. What im doing is using wood with carbon fiber on it and screwing the parts directly. However, i read somewhere that carbon fiber is a conductor so my question is that will my components be safe? If not, can i use rubber washers beneath every component to keep it from frying? Secondly i don't have any motherboard standoffs on me either (and it's impossible to get them by themselves, where i live. Trust me ive tried :'( ) so can i just screw the motherboard directly on to the carbon fiber applied wood by drilling normal holes? Perhaps with rubber washers in between for further safety?

[tl;dr: 1) Small conduit, two flat UTP cables? 2) Difference flat/regular UTP? 3) How does a switch distribute “supplied speed” over connected devices? 4) How many devices on throughput electricity powerline?] Hi everyone! At least 5 years ago a technician informed me that the old coax plug in my wall was in fact not connected to the basement. Last week I got so fed up with the slow speeds of my wireless adapter I took off the front plate off the wall and started looking for the conduit. To my surprise there actually was a coax cable in there! In all my euphoria I had almost ordered some bulk UTP CAT 7 cables until I realised that the conduit is rather small at around 12mm (0.47”). It made me wonder how to optimally wire things up now that I have the chance. A couple of questions: 1) The conduit can not fit two regular UTP cables, but could perhaps fit two flat cables? Has anyone ever done this before? If so, how was your experience? (Example Amazon: click here) 2) Is there a difference in performance between regular and flat UTP cables. In a previous topic I read there wasn’t as cables with the same category label (5E, 6, 6A, 7) should comply with the required speeds. If there really is no difference, then why was the plastic cross needed to avoid cross-talk in regular cables? How do flat cables deal with this? 3) This may be a rather stupid question, but I am not sure how speed distribution between the modem, a external switch and the subsequent connected devices works. Currently I have an all-in-one modem/router with 4 ports from my ISP. I’d like run the new cable to connect my devices in my room two stories up and a powerline two stories up (has to be one the same circuit to be able to have better speeds than the current setup next to the modem, the electric wiring in this house is a mess.) In my mind it would be better to run a cable through the conduit to a new gigabit switch in my room and another cable to the powerline adapter. Is there any merit to this though? Or could I just run one cable to connect the switch and then connect the powerline adapter to the switch without loss of speed? I don’t want the connection between the modem and my room to be or become a bottleneck later on. (How is the cable’s "maximum speed", for CAT6A being Gigabit/sec at 500MHz, distributed over the connected devices on the switch? I have heard about the "lanes on a highway" metaphore, but would like a real life example.) 4) How many devices can you reasonably have running on the throughput electricity plug of a powerline? (Example Amazon: click here) Thanks in advance!

So I have a drawer unit next to a plug socket and on one of the plugs is a oneplus brick. But when the draw comes out it hits the brick. So what I am asking is there anything that lets me plug it into the socket and then plug the oneplus brick from the top instead of normally. Thanks!

Hey everyone.. Been watching a lot of the videos from Linus, and I recently noticed something really cool in his video: 7.00 minutes in, you can clearly see how the wall infront of the 2 people are made from 6 edged plates or something in different colors. Does anyone know where these can be bought? Thanks in advance Jens
