Haha I'm right there with MrNateTheGreat, I sometimes even look forward to the reaction from TSA (and the Japanese equivalent). I fly to/from the US/Japan every 45 days or so, I've gotten quite accustomed to taking the computer out on the Japan side and getting secondary screening (with TSA...

Continuation... So my big plan to have a treat for this thread didn't pan out so well. I had a business class flight from EWR to NRT recently and had this grand plan to hook my Sentry PC to my in seat power and game some on my 14 hour flight. That was part of the reason I bought the USB...

I've had that problem sometimes, the most frustrating thing though is when it does the "Task Switcher" seemingly randomly.

Attached is the datasheet for the monitor I bought. It has worked fine for me so far, my only requirement was IPS, 1920x1080 (couldn't find a good 2k), and USB powered. The person I spoke with about ordering it was very responsive, and worked with me a bit to ensure everything was to my...

I travel just the same way!!! Though I found a USB powered 15" HDMI connected 1080p monitor on one of the Chinese websites (like Aliexpress) and it works great! If it works as planned coming up I'll have another treat for this thread! EDIT: I keep this monitor in a laptop sleeve, fits...

My little brother (computer programmer) gave me a little insight on why the GPUs are getting so pricy and scarce. He just sold his lightly used RX480 for $200 over what he bought it for. To someone in Russia ($70 shipping). It seems altcoin mining is such a big thing now that everyone is...

Huh, I got case number 128, indiegogo order 52. I was expecting a lower case number but I'm not upset. I'm just happy to have my case!

Here's one for you: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA98C5N73213

It's hard to know what lengths will work until you know which motherboard and which GPU you're looking at.

That is good news! If the status gets updated to "notice sent by import customs" you should receive a notice in the mail. You're exactly right, I was going for low noise/low heat in my build. That's why I picked the components I did, and am quite happy with it. As I mentioned in my build...

I'm glad your case is arriving as fast as mine did (if I'd been here to accept it that is)! You can actually plug your tracking number into Japan Post's website, it gives more info since it's in Japan now. I think if I had done it all over again I would have only changed one or two things...

You're quite correct, it probably would have.

Thank you! You most certainly can! I can send you more if you like :D

One last update on mine for the night, it's alive!!! I have noticed that with this case I notice a bit more noise from the PSU fan than I did in the RVZ02. It was dead silent before. Not a big deal and I figure it's due to the fan being right against the side of the case. I don't mind the...

I measured it in my RVZ02 and didn't take well enough in account that the PSU is further "up" in the Sentry case than the RVZ02 case. Ordered before I got my Sentry of course. Such is life though, I'll survive.
