    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    I believe Dan said due to the push pin layout, the panels sag a bit. The screws are there to make it nice and square, but if you don't care about that you don't have to use the screws.

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    Look, your spreadsheet is famous! http://www.ocaholic.co.uk/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=3885 Or it would be if they credited you :rolleyes:

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    My take on comparissongate - I would post some non-professional pics in the forums, but not on the website. That way it's not part of your main advertising, but it's out there for people who need to visualize what it will look like on a desk. Seems like such a simple thing to make a bunch of...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    The weatherman wouldn't say that! It doesn't make sense to say something is x% hotter or cooler than something else unless you are talking about kelvin. Would you say that 0C is 0% hotter than 100C? Or 20C is infinity % cooler than 0C? When you look at it that way you can see why it doesn't make...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    It's funny how all of their advertising says "25% cooler than stock" which doesn't really mean anything - looks like they're getting that from dividing 65C by 87C. Just by changing the units you could claim different % improvements (if anything they should use Kelvin, but that would only be a...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Parts like the PCIe riser, USB connectors, power switch, power cable, etc. are probably all considered "electronics".

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Drop downs are inputs used for making choices; inputs should not be used to present information when no user input is required. I agree with iFreilicht that it is confusing to have be able choose options when the choice doesn't actually do anything. If space is a concern it should be changed...

    Can anyone help me find a good compact ITX case?

    Have you seen the Realan cases? Check out the E-I5. It's $100, but it comes with power board and adapter so you don't need to buy a PSU. There's a smaller E-I3 but it has no front USB (seems to be sold out), and a larger E-I7 with a slot for disc drive. I bought an E-I7 from the site above and...

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    I think the ticking only happens to people who have the right ambient and computer temperatures where the PSU hovers right around the shut-off point for the fan. If your temps are high enough that the fan is always on (or low enough that it's always off) you probably won't have that problem.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    I like it but the serial ports aren't centered - could you move them a bit to the right?

    Colleges usually have mailing addresses for students living in residence, have you looked into that?

    Want to build battery powered SFF PC for untethered VR

    Sounds amazing but I'm curious on the details of how you're going to make that work. Eg if the warehouse is mapped 1:1 when you put on your headset, what happens when you get on a hoverboard? Unless you're still actually moving around, your position in real life and VR will get out of sync...

    SFX-L PSU compilation

    I somehow doubt that him making a post here is preventing Silverstone from "working on their own problems"... this is just an informal discussion, give him a break. I like that official reps post here (even if it's on unofficial business); I think I probably speak for most people when I say...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    IIRC, he said even with the best push-pin configuration the side panels still sagged a bit, so he added screw points on the bottom. If you don't care about the 1mm or so of sagging the bottom doesn't have to be screwed in.

    Looks great! What is the purpose of the slot above the video card I/O on the rear panel?
