... One of those with a DDC mount is just so ridiculously RIGHT for this case... I suddenly want to watercool after all!

That is a beautiful build! What kind of pump is that, on the reservoir? A DDC?

Thanks a lot! I've planned on placing my PC in the attic and this makes me a lot less worried. I was reading specs on USB and monitor cables, but couldn't find much info on whether using active cables would create any lag. Will post pics once I get my home office set up!

Very nice, and this is exactly what I am planning on doing! Would you mind sharing a little about the process of making it work properly? Do you have any lag due to the long cables? Are you using active cables? Are you getting full resolution on the monitors?

Make that 3. Can't afford a new build at the moment as we just moved into a new house, but I still just bought an Ncase. Can't imagine anything else really replacing the FT02, so I got the M1 while it was available.

I remember trying to research this a couple of years back. I think I remember concluding that the orientation mattered a lot less than the quality of the heatpipes, in that high quality heatpipes can transfer heat even in most directions. I couldn't tell you definitively, either way, so you'll...

And I am planning on feeding tubes out the back of the case, over the edge of my desk, into a 50mm tube custom-built into the wall that leads up to the attic on the floor above me, and connected to a seriously big radiator in the attic. A bit of a pipe dream, we'll see.;)

A quick google for "pwm splitter" should lead you to them. I think mine was made by Akasa.

a) connect the fan to another header, which has DC control, or b) buy a proper PWM fan. PWM fans have a few advantages: They have a much wider RPM range, meaning they can go much quieter at idle while still being able to move a lot of air at load. You can daisy-chain several PWM fans together...

Did Asus change their approach? The SupremeFX that I had last time was nothing more than a software-enhanced Realtek.

.. and according to Hardware.no, Asus says by email that this is merely the first in a series of short graphics cards.

... did Asus just announce a GTX 670 short enough to leave room for a modular ATX PSU? http://rog.asus.com/214602013/graphics-cards-2/asus-gtx-670-directcu-mini-small-size-full-power/

With your left hand on WASD and your right on the mouse, there is no way you have an actually ergonomically correct arm position with a regular size keyboard and a regular size body. Tenkeyless helps.

I have both the 9HD and the new Corsair MM400. The 9HD was the first ever mouse pad I was 100 % happy with (over S&S, QCK, SX, SP, Ratpadz, Corepad and I forget what else). The Corsair has a rougher surface which makes my G700 (with Teflon feet) glide faster, but also seems to cause more feet...

Maybe I'm just being pedantic - but he is saying "should" and "tricky" in that thar quote. I did see it, and I just thought I'd point out that having the best watercooling option available almost fit would be a shame.
