Hey there everyone i am trying to do something with these parts that is a little different. I am tired of this little case and am not impressed with the temps either. I am also getting a little sag with the video card which worries me. I have had some random artifacting. I was thinking of doing a DIY desk mod with these parts. Anyone have any good ideas? i really want to get rid of this case.

I am planning on getting some individually sleeved cables from evga for the PSU.

Also Linus i have watched your video on mounting stuff to the bottom of a desk and was wondering if it was a practical use for a gaming rig with extended use of *hours or more a day.

• Cable management
• Newer case
• If you can, fill the exhaust with a fan
• I don't think artifacts have anything to do with sag, rather than temperatures
• Have you overclocked your CPU and GPU? That would explain the high temps..
• Water cooling if you have money to burn
• I would suggest buying a desk specifically made for that use, with a little cabinet where you can build your PC, they often have nice windows for you to look at your hardware so you don't destroy your motherboard and CPU by simply hitting the cooler with your leg

Cant cable manage with this psu in this small case. hence why i want a new case which is stated in the post.
cant as i do not own an 90mm fans for exhaust.

the artifacting happened on login not during gameplay.

no overclocking at all.

the cpu is already watercooled.

Those desks usually run in the $1000.00 USD range. i cannot afford that.
