[H]owdy folks. Clearing out some unneeded hardware and listing a unique SFF build in the sought-after J-Hack Pure Mk2 case (only 3.1L) with the most powerful low-profile card on the market, the RTX A2000. This was a really fun build that stays nearly silent in day to day use but can still...
First post on [H] in quite a while. Clearing out some unneeded gaming hardware as I have a baby on the way at the end of summer. Outright sale of the full system or potential trades listed. Would consider a part-out if there's interest in significant portions.
Traded to p_monks33 for RX...
Here's my newest build with completed wire management. Unfortunately with all of the part stock issues during the pandemic, I wasn't able to source a modular power supply so I won't be sharing any back panel photos yet (hint; it's a mess back there).
Luckily the NZXT H200 series cases clean up...
Thanks for the detailed information specific to this brand! I’m working with their support team over email, hopefully will be getting a new block shortly.
I initially did plan to go with a true full cover block, but one was never made for my card by the big names (EKWB, XSPC, etc) probably...
I figured I'd throw an update here just in case anyone stumbles on a similar issue. I found a 20 x 20 x 0.8mm copper shim for the GPU block (for now) and tested it out. Idles are around 30c and 75% load in game peaks around 45c with 23c ambient temps.
I swapped my 1600 for a 2600x and have...
The areas you pointed out that look like gaps are actually just posts in the block that the standoff’s are mounted to to receive the screws coming from the backplate. I’ve checked and there aren’t any gaps anywhere. The screws thread all the way up to their shoulders and hit the bottom of the...
Thanks in advance to any who may have ideas on how to fix this:
I have a Gigabyte GTX 1070 ITX card that I’ve just purchased a full-cover block for from Alphacool, the Eiswolf M04 in particular. I have an issue where the GPU die does not contact the water block. In game temps are as high as...
Slight thread crap (sorry Fire!) but I figured I'd let those following along in here know: I'll be putting my CCD MI-6 (SN #14) up for sale on the forum by the end of this week as I need to start consolidating equipment. I've got one of the later-shipped cases with "minimalist" front and black...
Just got my MI-6 in the mail today!
Fred, you did an excellent job with this; kudos to you. Very glad I ended up going with the powder coat finish as it really cuts down on finger prints and scratches.
I was really impressed with the quality of the included accessories. The instruction card...
The Steam survey is a good benchmark for gamers but not necessarily a good benchmark for the “average” PC user, since participation in the survey is predicated on having the Steam client installed on your computer.
I’d be surprised if the real #1 GPU on the list wasn’t Intel HD 620 or...
Like I said in the OP, I'm not looking for absolute efficiency. I know that the tower layout is not the most efficient use of space, regardless of whether or not ATX or ITX parts are used.
My general gripe and greater overall question was whether or not there are any manufacturers or...
Thanks for the link! I guess I wasn’t looking hard enough for this case if it was already an idea on SFF.
Those drawings really are tight with the front fans right up against the edge of the motherboard. I think this is very close to what my Jonsbo case would have looked like if I’d added...
Thanks for the recommendation - I actually pre-ordered the CCD MI-6 as well and am excited to receive one next month. I have a great use for a PC the size of the MI-6 but I created this thread after thinking about what would be a perfect case for my home desk setup where space isn't quite as...
I've been building PCs in the ITX form factor ever since Zotac released the first Mini ITX motherboard with a full-length PCIe x16 slot on LGA 775 almost a decade ago. Around that time, Silverstone released the "SUGO" SG05 ITX shoe-box style case and introduced us to the SFX form factor PSU. I...
It looks like the 15.6" touchscreen will be mounted straight up and down (perpendicular to the ground) and will cover the entire height of the case. Considering that you intend for the case to sit on a user's desk, how do you intend to deal with the likely scenario that the centerpoint of the...
I have quite a few parts that were purchased very recently by a friend who had changed his mind about a build and sold them on to me. I'd rather have the cash, so they're up for sale.
All prices are OBO and include shipping. See below for potential trades.
Unfortunately I don't have boxes for...
I've been waiting a loooooooong time for someone to come up with this case. I had all of these parts in a Jonsbo U1+ for a short period of time but the airflow was awful and the layout was inefficient. Very much looking forward to the MI-6.
Up for sale is a custom 4L (230mm x 200mm x 90mm) ITX HPTC. It was a fun build and a great addition to our home theater, but circumstances are changing (getting married this fall!) and it's time to consolidate PCs.
Price: $700 shipped OBO
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 7400T (35w, 2.4Ghz)

As the title states - looking for
One or two 2.5" SATAIII SSDs
One M.2 SSD - must be 2242, non-NVMe
Looking for sizes around 128gb. Probably wont go higher than that unless the price is right.
At the moment I don't have anything interesting to trade, except for some wacky ITX cases...
Looking to purchase my favorite case from the year 2006! I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has a Cooler Master Stacker 830 in either black or silver and they're looking to part with it, please send me a PM! I'll pay shipping but I'm local to 06016 and can drive a fair distance as well.
I found a new(?) case manufacturer on Amazon and thought I'd give them a try as I was getting bored with my Silverstone SG13. It's the CR280 made by Riotoro, and it's around $50.
I wanted a tradition tower case layout without compromising the mITX form factor. The Fractal Design Define Nano S...
Thanks for the ups, guys. Lucky for me the 1070s went quick. Had some PMs on the status of the 980 and the 5820k, both are still available. Some interest but no commitments yet.
GTX 1070s - $450 each + actual shipping (ALL SOLD)
EVGA GTX 980 - $260 shipped SOLD
This card is approximately a year old and comes in the original box with all original accessories (most unused). Card hasn't been OC'd or modified at all. Was in my daily rig and used for some light gaming...
I've been lurking around this thread for a while, and finally have something worth showing, I think!
3+1 NVSurround setup with a Dell P2715Q (27" 4k IPS LED) and 3 AOC I2269VW's (22" 1080p IPS LED) all on a VIVO 3+1 clamp-style mount. The AOC monitors are currently on sale at BestBuy for $100...
I'm not saying I know for a fact that my X99 board is causing problems with Win10; I just wanted to check here to see if anyone else was having similar issues because the board is the most "unique" component of my build. If it is only me I'll start doing further troubleshooting.
Are any owners of this board having problems with Windows 10? I was stable on 8.1 for about 2 months before upgrading and now every time I leave the computer for a few minutes it'll freeze or hang just a few seconds before it is supposed to go to sleep. I have the computer set to sleep after 5...
Question for JU6500 experts out there - I just bought the 40" model at BestBuy, open box "certified excellent". The display works as it should, only one hairline scratch on the bezel, etc. One thing I did notice though, as soon as I connected to my desktop and opened up HardForum in Chrome...
So I'm not typically one to ask for advice, but I've recently started upgrading my desktop and the last component to be purchased is a new monitor. If it were a few years ago, I'd probably just go with a 27" 1080p IPS and call it a day, but I've been there (and done that a few times), and there...
