    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I’m an engineer and when talking to other engineers that ask about my pc case, I always bring up that it’s powder coated steel. I get many a delighted look and appreciation for the build quality. One of the reasons I bought the sentry so fast (case serial #0019). This thing is solid. Fly with it...

    Oh yeah, just realized you can see in the monitor reflection where my life jacket and safety suit is (green signs) haha. Rubber feet on the sentry never slipped either. I keep the vertical stand at home. Quick question SaperPL, I lost 2 of the little rubber feet on the vertical stand when...

    I have the GeChic 1503i and couldn’t be happier. It’s 1080p 60fps IPS. Takes mini HDMI and usb C for power. Slim enough to slide in my bag next to my sentry and not jut out. I’ve flown probably a dozen times with it this year and haven’t had any issues. They make a touchscreen and non touch...

    I fly to and from work every four weeks with my sentry and a gechic portable monitor in my backpack. Mostly flying domestic US but have had to go international to Bahamas before. 9 our of 10 times I haven’t even had to take it out of my bag for the X-ray (I have TSA precheck in the US which...

    Quick question, probably been answered before. I have an asrock fatal1ty z270 in my Sentry. Has anyone done custom cable lengths and if so can you share your lengths?

    My build made it into the update. That's super cool! Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. I've been using you in conversation as an example of how a crowdfunding campaign should be done. Really appreciate the transparency with all the updates and the achievement of delivering a quality product...

    Hey Guys!, so I was in the first batch of black Sentry's (number 019), but of course had to leave for work for 5 weeks and my Sentry arrived 3 days after I left. Had some tearing on the plastic and a small hole on the outer box but no damage to the case box. I'll add to the praise of how nice...

    I can't get a picture right now, but I just used some copper wire to attach the fan to the lp53. Feed it through and around a heat pipe, then leave yourself slack and get a couple twists, then snip off the excess. It lines up pretty easy and wasn't hard to do. It's very secure on there and has...

    I have a 3D printer. Has anyone made printable files for sentry? I'm not super great at modeling, but would look into printing a few parts for shrouds and things if it helps. I'm curious if making a funnel for a FE card would help temps and also act as a support for the card when transporting...

    I believe I saw your mention and had been looking at it too. So I figured I'd post my "review" here. It really is a great monitor and was worried about the price but have found them on sale on Amazon a couple time for about $50-$100 off. It was either go with this or mod an old laptop monitor to...

    According to that website the MB16AC is USB type C power and video signal, not display port =\ There are definitely cheaper options than the GeChic that use USB video, but for hdmi from the graphics card and being a dedicated display, not a USB second display, it has been working well as my sole...

    Hey guys, a while back the question of portable monitors came up and I wanted to throw in my 2 cents on the topic. Recently I got the GeChic 1503i and I think if you have a Sentry, then it's the perfect travel monitor. TLDR: 9.5/10, excellent travel monitor Display: IPS 1080p. I've been...

    Quick question to any sentry buyers that are planning on using it when travelling too: any backpack recommendations that would support the sentry, a 10-keyless keyboard, mouse and other peripherals like an xbox controller. My current backpack is ok, but only has one pouch aside from the laptop...

    Good to know as that's my current config that will be going in the system. Two quick questions: 1. Is there a specified ram height limitation? Could not find one on the Dr Zaber site. I'm going with Trident Z ram at the moment and the heat spreaders look a bit proud. 2. Is there an estimated...

    Yeah, I can print a tool and watched tons of YouTube videos on it and the thermal improvement is pretty great. So, go big or go home I think.

    So after much internal debate on doing the K or non-K 7700, I pulled the trigger on the LP53 cooler and noctua fan for the 7700K. I'm excited to get it built and will be posting temp results when I can. I'm like #16 in order so hopefully won't be too long after shipping. Excited guys...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Thanks. The LP53 with NHL9i fan seems like the best cooling option from what everyone has said. I'm order #16 according to indiegogo, so I'm real excited.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Just a general question. I'm looking at using the 7700K and since there's not a perfect out of the box cooling solution for 91TDP CPU's in sentry, could I underclock it to 3.6 like the 7700 (nonK) and go with the NHL9i until there's a better cooling solution like the dondan cooler that can...

    Hate to bring back up the blower vs open GPU cooler discussion, but on the indiegogo page you have a pcpartpicker list that has both a 1070 and 1080 with non blower GPU's. I'm just checking if the temps on these will be ok, and if not I'm going to get a blower style.

    It's more expensive, but they have a newer model with 1080p and you can up even more to a touch screen. I'm looking hard into these as a travel monitor on the ship I work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M7RMBV9?psc=1

    I like seeing another perspective on the case. I disagree with a few points in the video and agree with ZombiePL and SaperPL when hey talk about concessions being made for the purpose of the case. Removing screws to get into it and build inside isn't a worry for me. It means it ships as a unit...

    I've been researching these portable monitors for the past few months because I work on big ships and travel a lot for work. The GeChic you posted last is pretty much the best way to go of you want usb powered, but HDMI driven. The only other way I'd do it is how ZombiePL did with a 19" monitor...

    The problem with doing clips and plastic is that it adds space, lowers rigidity, and doesn't have any real benefit. Having a side panel means that attaches to an internal chassis, which adds thickness, weight, complexity, and more parts. This would also add cost. This is the smallest case that...

    Quick question, would using a mechanical drive cause any vibration or issue in the case? I'm thinking I'd do an m.2 ssd plus a 2tb mechanical for bulk storage and was wondering if you guys recommend hdds or is it recommended to use a ssd
