    Flexible PCIe risers

    Yeah there are tons of fitment drawbacks with stiff risers due to motherboard manufacturers trying to cram as much IO as possible. The only way to ensure max compatibility is to use a flexible riser or to use a two piece hard riser which reduces speed. I will say that here in 2017 flexible...

    Nope. That would be something I would have to cut extra. I can offer it in place of the bezel or someone can DIY it. Thanks for asking.

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    They have lock slots and the DC Jack holes have been turning into slots, increasing compatibility. In addition they are available in black or silver brushed and anodized aluminum. They are in stock, but I am fulfilling orders now and leftovers will go up on the website. I also will have a new...

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Civ VI. Then some more Civ VI. Then I might take a break and play some Civ VI. Also, this answer counts for next weekend.

    Sorry for my late response, been busy preparing! If you haven't emailed me and got on the waitlist, please do. I don't think I will have leftovers to put up on my website. I might, but I can't promise. To more directly answer your question, they will be shipping late November. PEACE

    The next batch has some revisions, but nothing major: 1. Lock Slot 2. Easier removal of wrap-around bezel 3. DC-Jack increase in compatibility (no more HDPLEX mod) 4. Anodized finish available in black on black or silver on black.

    Tesla Sued By Former Engineer For Age Discrimination

    You don't hire someone and then fire them in four years because they got too old. That doesn't make financial sense--Tesla would have LOST money doing that. Age discrimination is a thing for sure... but this is not how it works. This is a more to the story kind of story IMO.

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    I admire you for keepin' on your Nano. I think it is a super fun card to tune because its a beastly performer but is more sensitive than salt on raw. I eventually sold mine to pay bills but I had it working for most my games. Mechwarrior Online had some weird artifacting with AA forced on but...

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    I received several emails asking me if this was the new S4 Mini design. It's actually the same design--this is what the S4 Mini looks like without the removeable wrap-around 5mm bezel. I just put some perforated plate in there (you could use mesh) and an acrylic badge.

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    The Zotac looks too long. The Gigabyte card is actually fairly easy to install. Current methods are (as stated) to mod the jack (two different ways, I like the "notch" method by loc125 best). Or use a pair of dikes and cut a cross out in the vent in the back. Super easy, requires no practice or...

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    Yup, there are three methods so far and they really aren't bad at all. But I have put two 1070s in a mini myself at this point. I will end with saying that I would consider this if you are an advanced user, as it isn't a easy build, but then again neither are some of the Silverstone SUGO...

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    There will be precious few powdercoated S4 Mini's available. I plan to keep on doing custom paintjobs, but at a slower rate. These will pop up like rare pokemon from time to time. I committed to Brushed Silver (and anodized) as well as black though--it will be a little more as I couldn't order...

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    1. The S4 Mini is absolutely stable enough to stand vertically in either orientation--although the brushed aluminum side down is the most stable as the edges are totally flat. This video was a private video for a customer so the quality is bad, but it shows how stable it is. Keep in mind I am a...

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    I mean if a clear anodize is popular enough I'd do it...it is way easier than the ultra black dye process I have now. I have a triple dip and boil seal right now for a pitch black finish--usually they just dip once and if they boil it would be a big extra, but this gives off a weak black that...

    Sorry for the late replies...I have been VERY busy. :( Yes, mostly QOL changes for me regarding HDPLEX integration. The HDPLEX 250 was an evolving product but Larry has been amazing in working with me so I can lock down some changes. No more HDPLEX specific mods. I am toying with the idea of...

    I almost have the money for another run. I have to work the day job and save up xD If everything goes well I should have more in November. Before then I have two small batches (20 units each) coming in one after the other.

    Power controls, CPU running at 35w, and the Voodoo 350. Then I force-enabled AA at 8X running at 2560x1440. I found it would only crash due to over peaking if 8X AA wasn't enabled. This wasn't perfect as you can't force enable 8x for all games without weird graphics errors, but it worked for...

    wtt Sapphire 390X 8GB w/Bckplate for 1060

    For the sake of science I need a mini 1060 (like from Zotac or EVGA). If you send me your mini 1060 (or the moneys to buy one off Amazon) I'll ship you a barely used 390X from Mississippi so I can do some power testing with the 1060 inside a S4 Mini. Thanks!

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    The Nano surprised me with the Fury X being much more stabe in its power consumption. I eventually did get my Nano to behave, but from the factory I think they did an inadequate job for the average end-user. :| They are back in stock. Sorry for the wait! Yeah it is brutally expensive. $99...

    Accidently ran cpu without aio pump plugged in

    As everyone said, nothing. We are using to panicking at temperatures over 60c but if it makes you feel better I have ultra slim systems designed for a customer that do math all day every day 24/7. They don't bother to cool the room with these systems and they operate at close to 90C, and have...

    WC Noob: Need Some Clarification

    Hey man! 1. You need to determine the TDP of your components when overclocked and then determine the BTU capacity of the radiator in order to get an approximate answer to your question here. Other things to consider are flow-rate, head pressure, and contact. Koolance does a great job being...

    FS: Sony A7ii + Zeiss 24-70

    sakerfalcon, the factory replace-for-free warranty is pretty short and is expired, both on the lens and camera. However, you can send it off to be repaired if you are U.S. I just sold the camera, the lens is still available. Thanks for the bump, dvsman! I'm a former Canon shooter and have...

    I have no idea about the 1070, but I have maybe 6 users with the 6700k. Three of them have had great success undervolting it. Check out Marc Paris' thread and MrTiny's. Assuming the 1070 keeps inside 150w and doesn't spike really high (like the Nano) then that combo should work out the gate...

    I have some colors planned, but the custom powdercoats are suspended for now. I want to bring them back so bad you don't even know. >.< I feel real bad about it but things didn't work out and I want to be able to deliver them in a reasonable time frame.

    S4 Mini - An ULTRA-SFF Chassis shipping this December!

    Because of the wait times on custom powder I put a halt on doing them. Instead I have been ordering small batches of different colors. This has the added benefit of being much less expensive than a custom powder, and since I stock them, quicker shipping times. This is Glacier White...

    just another 4.2L Gaming Case

    Great job with your build, and I am really humbled and grateful for your comments. Just to get it out there--shipping across the border is really expensive for me. The S4 Mini box is 17x13x9" and weighs 5.8lbs. But it rarely hits $90--I just have to charge that because I can't afford the...

    7.5" x 11" would safely cover the vent holes. The system is aluminum, however, so magnetic strips won't work, I'm afraid. I've mentioned this before--although I haven't ever tested filters for this chassis, there are no intake or exhaust fans. The system could bake with mesh covering the...
