Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I see a lot of people ignoring the constraints I'm under. I know there was no link, but my current partlist plan was provided.

Liquid cooling is right out. When I fly I must deal with the Totally...
Elaboration: reasonable dimension requirements are set by the height of the overhead bin. An airline rep claimed entrance height is 7", but I am sceptical that it is quite that small. Still close, so 7" on the smallest side is a good limit.
The M1 and slim Silverstone cases seem to be the best...
I am designing my next build (current box needs to be put to pasture). I chose a SFF build so that I can transport the PC when I fly. A lot of my flights are on smaller craft (Bombardier Q400), so it needs to be pretty compact. This build will become my primary PC and game rig (1080p primarily...
