    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Here are some images of my fully protable Sentry with 1080p touch monitor and 25mm fan attached. (As well as wireless keyboard/mouse) perfect case for portability. Everything fits in my backpack. Only a regular power cord required to power everything. Turned my PC into an ALL In One PC.

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Wait what!?!?!?! Why didn't you mod the shield instead? Why would you sacrifice the heatsink?!?!?!!? Is there anyway that we can get our hands on these faulty heatsinks for a lower price?

    Need help finding a console like pc or mini pc or whatever they are called?

    That's not true. If you have an xbox controller there is an app that allows you to use the controller as a mouse and then you wouldn't need a keyboard. I use it at home all the time. The only problem is that you have to remove password login from your computer or get a usb key that automatically...

    Will there be any data on tests/performance of the cooler when released?

    SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    Oh well. At least try to improve the perforation around the CPU area because the airflow there was not great.

    SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    Yes the location of the CPU socket can differ but generally its around the same area and you can still move the fan around. It doesn't have to be exactly above the heatsink, but fan friendly holes is also a good solution. Thanks for suggesting that. Perhaps a bracket that matches the case...

    I have the EVGA 1080TI SC2 you will be perfectly fine if you have a decent CPU cooler. This is great! Thanks for linking it. I just found out. I left some of my comments there from my experience with the sentry.

    SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    Hello everyone. I just found out about this. I own and love the first iteration of the Sentry case. Looking at the improvements you have planned so far this new version is looking good but to be honest the biggest issues and features I would want for the sentry for me are 2. 1. A 125mm...

    What RAM are you using and how is the cooler? I solved all my heat Issues with the external fan and my 1080ti SC 2 runs at nice temps but without the fan there was not way the Cooler could handle the 7700k.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    After using the sentry for a while I must say that in the upcoming designs they need to make the CPU intake better because the holes are not good enough for intake the metal blocks a lot of air intake. It really would have been better if they made more holes in this area and place a fan grill...

    Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Special Transport

    Why not use a vr headset? It's like the perfect game for having VR support.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    The clocks on the 8700 are lower but there is no way of running the 8700k at decent temperatures without undervolting, deliding, or like i did attaching a fan to the side.

    Vive to Rift

    It has tracking for all fingers, so it's way more than what the rift does. The rift can only show the pointing finger.

    That's a great choice but at this point you should probably wait for news on the knuckle controllers.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    You can get a placeholder CPU and wait for zen 2 if you need productivity, but if you are only aiming at gaming and casual work then your best bet is intel's 8700k. I was going to get the 8700k but decided it wasn't worth it for me. Two more cores does not justify a $380 purchase. I currently...

    Headset for Sit down gaming and sims

    Well done wireless will not have latency but personally I really don't think it's worth getting wireless when the wire is really not that big of a deal. Also steamVR preview in beta is already pretty solid so I will agree with you that he can buy the Oculus now and return it once the Odyessy...

    Headset for Sit down gaming and sims

    Get the windows mixed reality headsets once they get steamVR support. They are higher resolution and require no external trackers the biggest problem is the tracking but since your are playing sit down simulators the tracking will be perfect for your needs.

    You mean the power cord? What king of horror stories did you hear? power-cords are pretty standard I am using an old power cord from a monitor I use to have because is longer than the one the PSU came with and it works fine.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Yeah unfortunately I can only make AMD my main CPU platform when they can actually compete with intel in single-core performance. In the meantime 7700k will do.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Yeah, I decided is not worth it. The 8700k is not even available anywhere and it literally is just 2 more cores. I'll keep my 7700k and buy Ryzen 1600x for my other build, I will get the Asrock x370 as a placeholder for the Asus X370 that is coming up.

    I bought a Pimax 4k HMD for $360

    Well you are missing out because VR is huge and you should definitely get a VR headset even if it's mostly for 2D application use, the new WindowsMR headsets have higher resolution displays that are great for working on 2D windows applications.

    I bought a Pimax 4k HMD for $360

    No, unfortunately. What I'm saying is that there is no stereoscopic 3D VR version monitor games. The best you can do is use apps that allow you to play the game on a virtual 2D screen that you can resize to your liking or use vorpX

    I don't understand how you guys are worried about GPU temps. My GPU is a 1080ti and is overclocked and doesn't go past 80C. It's an open air card but my blower 1080ti FE never throttled.

    These tiny fans are really expensive did you find a bundle price or something like that?

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Do you think those fans fit in the bottom of the case right under the motherboard?

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Do it. It made a huge difference for me. It allowed me to overclock and everything. I am using the CoolJag Falcon though with an open air 1080ti. It's not super silent but it's not too loud.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I have been taking it back and forth from work to home and I can confirm that the weight is no issue for me . Even with the fan I attached to the side it still fits perfectly fine and leaves room for keyboard mouse and VR headset so plenty of room. I am used to the weight though, before the...

    Yeah, it looks like it will be hotter. I think I will be fine with my fan attached to the side of the case but definitely won't be able to run the 8700k with the case as is.

    It wasn't exactly right next to the fan it was about an arm's length away. I have the computer sitting right next to me on the desk but thanks for the tip. The fan I have attached to the outside of the case has Noise levels: 15 ~ 24 dB(A ) The noctua fan Acoustical Noise is 19,9 dB(A) .

    With the fan I attached to the side of the case I am able to overclock my 7700k to 4.6. I like it. It doesn't look bad and it still fits in my backpack just fine. Here are similar test to the ones posted by riba using a 7700k NOT delided overclocked to 4.6 and a 1080ti with a120mmx 25mm fan...
