    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    This is exactly what I used. Got the pocket driver kit on sale a while back and it worked perfectly on my Sentry.

    Seconding this. East coast, Indiana. First white batch. Package arrived with slight tearing of plastic and one small ballpoint pen sized hole. Did not get farther than the outer cardboard layer.

    Yeah, that particular card decided to kill itself for the 4th time so it was not in my rig. Happened to be around so I thought I'd illustrate your point :) Pretty soon it will be going back to RMA... again. I have a 670 in the case now, going to buy a midrange card whenever the mining craze...

    Got my case - unit #4 :) Anyone here lower than that? I'll have a full writeup later but because I'm feeling whimsical here's what a 980ti KPE looks like in Sentry XD

    Also just got updated USPS tracking. 1st batch of white Sentry. Last message was May 29 showing "Processed at PRUSZCZ GDANSKI WER, POLAND". Region is US Midwest. So all in all 7 weeks of zero updates coming across the Atlantic if that helps anyone else ballpark.

    I haven't opened it up and peeked under the IHS, but I've used my overclocked 4770K die>IHS with Liquid Metal Ultra since the day I bought it in a vertical position. As far as I can tell I haven't had any noticeable thermal issues with flow or pump-out and I use my tower vertically. It hasn't...

    Coming up on 6 weeks with no tracking. First shipment of white cases, region US eastern. Cmon cargo ship, hurry up and dock! I really appreciate the transparency from the Zaber team, I'd be going completely stir-crazy otherwise.

    I still like the idea of replacing an SFX-L PSU fan with a high flow model and ducting the PSU exhaust across the CPU heatsink. I bet you could get a similar temp drop on the CPU that way. Modern PSUs are so efficient it just seems wasteful having a 120mm fan mount on a 50w heat load - I'd...

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Vapor chambers are almost certainly more effective at heat transfer, I remember the difference when NVIDIA started using them for their reference coolers. I'm not sure how effective the vapor chamber base wicking is from the condensation side, but from what I've seen quality vapor chambers have...

    Copper C7 looking pretty nice... http://www.cryorig.com/news.php?id=74&page=1

    I used to read Tom's religiously. Now their ads outnumber the content (I just checked a few minutes ago... ads took up a solid 50% of the frontpage). SFF and Bit-Tech I see occasionally but those are still pretty niche (most of the folks there who want an SFF case probably have one already)...

    As someone else with Beyerdynamic DT770Pro cans (80ohm)... they are very sensitive to output impedance and you're going to get interference from running any kind of unshielded DIY audio jack setup inside a tightly packed metal case with a short distance between the PSU and everything else. You...

    Yeah, but I'd still kill for a high dissipation SFF cooler. I'd rather wrestle with internal components then compromise on the case (sometimes needed on full size cases as well to add oversized watercooling radiators, tube cutouts, push pull configs, extra drive cages etc). Personally I'm still...

    I keep finding interesting heatsinks for these new 150-165W server processors. Right now I see a lot of buzz on 3D vapor chambers where the working fluid flows directly into the heatpipes rather than conducting through a metal interface - both Cooler Master and HP (Z series coolers) are starting...

    Well, you do get a few things 1. Multiplier underclocking 2. Not going to need the box cooler included 3. Futureproofing, when I decide to put something else in the Sentry down the line 4. Maximum power in minimum space
