    Best RTX 3070 GPU for Silverstone GD09 case

    My TV stand is completely open in the front and back with only an A/V receiver and a Verizon box several inches away, so I'm good there. I don't want to spend $700, but the price range for most 3070's at the moment is around $600 - $670. The EVGA XC3 RTX 3070 is at a nice price of $583 on...

    Best RTX 3070 GPU for Silverstone GD09 case

    Maybe I should consider the Silverstone Grandia GD11 which is slightly bigger at 440mm x 176mm x 390mm. It can fit bigger GPUs, PSUs, and CPU coolers. It also has space for a 240mm radiator. Unfortunately, I can only find it on Amazon and it's a little expensive at $171.90...

    Best RTX 3070 GPU for Silverstone GD09 case

    The Silverstone Grandia GD09 (https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/GD09/) is a decent-sized case and can fit a full-sized ATX motherboard in it. I'm replacing all of the internals and just keeping the case since I couldn't find anything better IMO. Because it's meant...

    Best RTX 3070 GPU for Silverstone GD09 case

    I'm planning to re-use my Silverstone Grandia GD09 HTPC case for a new PC build. It's size limits it to GPUs that are under 12.2" (309mm) long and 5.25" (133mm) tall. Pricewise I'm looking for something under $700, which at the moment means an Nvidia RTX 3070. From my searching, the three...

    New PC Build - AMD 5600X vs Intel i5-12600

    I just re-learned that the Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim 2 can be used with Intel processors and motherboards. For some reason PC Part Picker doesn't list it as a compatible cooler. So that's $30 of the price difference down. So my question comes down to the Intel i5-12600 & MSI PRO B660M-A vs AMD...

    New PC Build - AMD 5600X vs Intel i5-12600

    I'm building a new budget-friendly gaming PC/HTPC that I want to keep low power and super-quiet. I think I'm decided on most of the components (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dq6QGL), but I started reconsidering my choice of the AMD 5600X. In the past I've only used www.cpubenchmark.net to...

    Fitting components in tight spaces

    What brand & model? EVGA? Asus? Gigabyte? MSI? I've tried looking at other 960 cards and the only ones that are shorter than what I have are about 10" long.

    Fitting components in tight spaces

    I've searched extensively and the only things that come close are those adapter cables on ebay which looks like somebody bent the wires themselves, and some 90 degree PCB connectors from Molex, IE they have the connector on one end and pins with 90 degree bends on the other end. While they...

    Fitting components in tight spaces

    Thanks everyone for your help in http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1874100&highlight=. Aside from order some different fans with PWM, I have all of the components. There are just two things I could use some help with. There is very little room between the SDD and the PSU that the SATA...

    Compact Wireless Gaming Keyboard?

    Next to think about a little light/lamp to illuminate the keyboard when typing in near darkness and how to keep the mouse from sliding to the floor every time the board is tilted and it let it go to type something. There are some clip-on battery powered book lights that might do the trick or...

    Compact Wireless Gaming Keyboard?

    I bought the Logitech K750 keyboard and I can confirm by using http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplained.mspx that I can indeed hold down any combination of WASD and still press space, tab, shift, and CTRL. The web tool doesn't have an Alt key to test, and I'm not sure how...

    Compact Wireless Gaming Keyboard?

    I found one last option for an ironing board in a store near me. http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1274255 http://www.homzproducts.com/p-4159-wood-countertop-board.aspx#.Vf31vd9Viko --------------------------------------------------------- I visited my local Ace Hardware...

    Compact Wireless Gaming Keyboard?

    I went to Bed Bath and Beyond tonight and bought the ironing board. I liked it because the "board" was one solid piece instead of crosshatched metal with metal tubes around the perimeter. It turns out you get what you pay for. I was hoping the board was solid wood and that I could just take...

    Compact Wireless Gaming Keyboard?

    I visited my local walmart this evening to check out the folding tables. They didn't have black, but they did have blue, lime green, magenta, and purple. Looking at the backside, there are four screws that hold the legs in place, but there was also a metal loop/hook under what looked like a...

    Compact Wireless Gaming Keyboard?

    I forgot to mention that the ironing board idea, when not in use as a keyboard and mouse tray, can also serve as a actual ironing board! Though I would not use it for that after spilling snacks, beverages, and other things all over it. II feel like I'm talking to myself here. :( Anyway, I did...
