    What was the very first video card you ever bought?

    Pretty much the same thing. The Voodoo banshee is what I'll consider my first video card, as it was essentially the first standalone card that I bought and installed. Funny to think that we had to have 1 card for 3d and one for 2d (it made a ton of sense back then though)

    RX 480 or 1070 for HTPC?

    I'd go with the rx480, mainly because of HDMI 2.0b. I don't believe nvidia It'll support 4k @ 60hz as they are just using HDMI 2.0 (Granted, this is just by memory...I might be wrong)

    Yes, I'm aware and have read those guides, which specifically don't mention the ITX specification. Many ITX cases generally have decent vents directly over the CPU socket, allowing it to draw cool air directly in from outside the case.

    i3 Skylake Stock Cooler Dimensions

    Hi All, For some reason the internet just seems to not have exact specifics no matter what I google. Was hoping that someone was aware of the exact specifications (specifically the height of this, including fan/pins). Looking at building a super small custom itx machine, and am hoping I have...
