Yes, this was shot 2 weeks ago. We received our Titan XP last Tuesday  

I found it odd that there wasn't even a little bit of text added in at some point when we was talking about the GPU to clarify that. I mean, it's not worth re-shooting the whole thing, but still...

Dear LinusTechTips,

 

I'm not sure if this would be the right place to ask, but I've been folowing your youtube videos for quite some time. Especially because it always give me new ideas to work with.  I'm a neuropsychologist and researcher working with a medical team (Led by Dr. Manuel Jacobson Teixeira and Dr. Wellingson Silva Paiva) at the Clinical Hospital of the University of São Paulo in Brazil. We are currently studying cybersickness provoked by the immersion in VR with Oculus Rift Development Kit 2. Our studies are focused to treat traumatic brain injured patiens and create new methods of cognitive training and neurological rehabilitation. After watching the Zotac Magnus EN980 I was amazed with the possibilities of a relatively low weight and very small computer.

I saw today that you managed to make something better: "Ultimate Compact Gaming PC 2016". We are currently using my personal PC to conduct our studies (i5 2400, HD 7970, 8GB ram, and the case is a thermaltake chaser mk-1) It is a very heavy and large PC and far from optimal to work with VR.  I would like to ask if you guys are going to sell or dismount the Ultimate Compact Gaming PC 2016. It's size would be perfect to make our studies inside the Hospital. 

 

Thank you in advance.

lol this is so slow. a tian xp would have made it the ultimate. you have failed.

you should have not released it, or you could have at least photo shopped the titan xp in. putting out a poor quality video is not great tbh.

Obviously.

I was just surprised they didn't just throw it in at the last second since they know people will talk about it  missing XP.

[Bhav]

I have serious case envy now over the larger thermaltake one that I got.

[Rapsky]

When my wallet saw this it disappeared out of fear.

[Scruffy90]

Really wish this was put next to an xbox one and ps4 for size comparison.

[DXMember]

lame

why not Titan X?

 

probly wasn't released at the time - probably should've re-filmed it then

 

plus a 2.6 GHz xeon with ECC has nothing to do with gaming

so probly should've put in a Pro Duo in it if you're not going for gaming...

So in the video it says the most powerful GPU available, was this filmed before Titan XP was sent out?

Will still fit in there also

PSU Cable lengths info?

Agreed, would be nice to have for those of us that might use this case at some point

Very cool little case, though if you were doing the build yourself you'd have to be out of your tiny little mind not to use an LGA 155x CPU.

 

Shame you're restricted to a reference cooler though. The hot air from an open air cooler really looks like it would have nowhere to go. Kinda makes it a tough sell over the NCase M1, even if it is smaller.

Cryorig C7 and Silverstone AR05 will fit without issue according to the product page

 

[Tech Inquisition]

I'd seriously consider this case if Cryorig's Ola case doesn't materialize

[SexyToaster]

This is the first time I've seen a tiny case I would actually want to build my self, but you know with cheaper parts...

Linus explains, while sticking in the controller box, that it is the Cablemod RGB kit. It could be the 30cm or the 60cm kit, as that was not disclosed.

Since the case is basically 317mm down the longest side, I'd imagine the 30cm kit.

The C7 is the best LGA115X cooler tested, according to Cryorig.

They are referancing the Hardocp thread that Dondan is posting updates to:

I'd love to build something like this! Though a more realistic and affordable version. Shame the case doesn't seem to be available.

 

The Dancase A4 will be available this winter at Caseking.de for the EU and Overclockers.Co.Uk for the ROW. The price will be around the same as Kickstarter.

 

Info from here:

https://hardforum.com/threads/dan-a4-sfx-the-smallest-gaming-case-in-the-world.1799326/page-147#post-1042443876

 

The case was available on Kickstarter a few weeks ago, and they sold over 1,600 units at $280 USD (w/tax & delivery). I bought one then.  I'm going to move my i3–6100, 512 Samsung 850 pro, and GTX 1080 FE when is arrives.

 

Anandtech just confirmed that i3-6100 is the currrent budget king. I had bought it because other Skylakes were well above MSRP at the time. (I am expecting to replace it with Kaby Lake, someday.)

Dang, that's a SWEET case. 

 

Shame you didn't get the Titan X for this build, it could've been built as a CRAZY rig to do science on. Actual science. I mean it's not a Tesla K80 but. Science.

Wow this is truly inspirational build. Anyone knows if there are any more "mainstream" components that can be used rather than going for blown out of proportion server tech that gives no real benefits over high end mainstream in gaming?

 

I am very interested in building something similar!

Any ITX mobo will work, although I'd not bother with unlocked K SKU CPU's due to the limitations of the CPU coolers.

Oh man, I still want to get my hands on this case, right now running the parts described in my signature, but that's a 12 Liter machine, this case would make it perfect. (Assuming I can find a cooler that can still keep my CPU cool enough, it already gets up to 92°C at most, 85°C on average loads during games.)

See the post above yours. You're probably gonna have a hard time keeping that CPU cool. The Cryorig C7 (as far as I know, still considered the best option for this case) is rated for 100W, and the 6700K is what, 95W TDP?

 

Do you do a lot of overclocking or high-load tasks? Because you probably won't be able to in this case in any significant way without potentially shortening your CPU's lifespan. If not, and if you want this case bad enough, I'd recommend trading down to a 6700. Unless you don't mind running hot, never overclocking, and having constantly high fan speeds.

What size cables are being used?

I don't have it overclocked, no, and during games it runs at most at 85 or so which might still be fairly hot. My current cooler is also rated for around 100 Watt TDP. By the way, I see Dynatron also made a CPU cooling block for the 115X platform, though it is still rated for 100 Watt TDP, but that might assume case airflow. So maybe if I, like Linus did, put my Noctua NF-A9x14 on it, it might be enough to keep it cool at stock speeds.

where does one buy the RAM kit in this build?

 

AD4B213316G15-BSSB

 

taken from the asrock rack site/documentation

 

can't seem to be found any where in the public market

 

any ideas?

Might be that a lot of the stuff Linus has for this build was send to him prior to the availability of those products. The CPU also has no known prices yet in my country.
