    WTB: 1.8" SATA II SSD

    Would an mSATA adapter work for your device? Newegg has some, one, two. It might be easier to find a suitable mSATA drive than a 1.8" drive.

    What is this white film in my loop?

    I've seen it in every build, and always presumed it was plasticizer leached from the tubing.

    Is this peak idiocy in case designs?

    The "Nautilus" speakers first came out in 1993. The PC-777 case came out in 2005. That said, I doubt the Nautilus influenced the PC-777*. Lian-Li said the PC-777 was a 20th-anniversary special based on their old logo or something like that. *My E/MG dialogue above is because I thought it was...

    Is this peak idiocy in case designs?

    E: Damn, those speakers are weird looking, and crazy expensive. MG: We should make a computer case with a similar design! Then we can charge a lot for it, too!

    Is this peak idiocy in case designs?

    How do you plug in your cables if the case is tucked into the corner? Are there ports on the front, under the drives?

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    The AL120 fans interlock together and each group (here of one, three, or four) has two cables. So probably not what you're thinking of.

    DDR5 combo! i7-12700K, MSI PRO Z690-A, 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800

    Yeah, I just copied and pasted the title of my auction. But here I can make links to the parts, unlike on eBay itself! I hate that they killed that ability. Core i7-12000K, MSI PRO Z690-A DDR5, 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144390487423

    EK Quantum Reflection D5 distro plate for Lian-Li O11D Mini

    At the time of this posting there are no reviews or even photos of this plate in use around. Let me share my brief experiences with it in case someone is thinking about getting one. I preordered this plate in the expectation to use it in my build. The plan was for a 360mm rad on the bottom and...

    Final bump. Uh yeah, thanks for demanding that I do what I was already planning to do. It would be easier and cheaper for everyone to sell it to someone that wants one, though. Between edits and delete/repost you posted the same thing in at least three different ways. Why are you so involved...

    SOLD Product link Pre-ordered this in the expectation that EK would post photos of it in actual builds and I could decide from there if I wanted to keep the pre-order or cancel it. EK still has inexcusably posted no photos of it in use. In the meantime my pre-order showed up, earlier than...

    FS: links awakening digital download code

    How many kids with how many Switch systems? A download can't be passed around between consoles, traded with friends, or resold when you're done with it. Cartridges can. Already bought, beat, and resold Link's Awakening myself, just offering why they might not do downloads.

    The Lian Li Gallery

    Lian-Li has a lot of great cases they could update and re-release, or make new variations of. Or they could even release brand-new designs! Instead they continue beating the O11D to death. …but yeah, I preordered an O11D Mini.

    Wi-Fi card in motherboard M.2 slot

    Can anyone recommend an adapter to put a Key A/E Wi-Fi card into a Key-M motherboard slot? My Asus Prime X570 -Pro has an M.2 slot going unused that lines up with a case expansion slot going unused, and it really cries out for a Wi-Fi card and antennas in there. I tried a Ableconn M2MN-150E...

    The Lian Li Gallery

    No and maybe, respectively. They stop at very low PWM, deliberately by design, and I really only see them around 800 RPM when they are ramping up or stopping—they don't run that speed for long enough to tell. I think they might make a bit of a whoosh around 800, but it's not harsh or bothersome.

    The Lian Li Gallery

    No, no O11 Dynamic. The new build is in a PC-O10, the last new one in North America it seemed. Made minor mods again: drilled a hole in the top-fans mounting plate, and enlarged the rectangular top opening somewhat, so that the fill port in the top-mounted EK Predator 240 is still accessible...

    The Lian Li Gallery

    Before I post my new build I should post the old one that I just retired. Lian-Li PC-O5SX, with some minor mods. "Vandal resistant" red-LED power button. Cutout on mobo tray so the underside M.2 drive could have a heatsink on it: The 140mm fan on the back panel blew right on here, so my...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    At work right now, a Logitech K540 and Anywhere MX 2 on a G440 mousepad. At home, a Logitech G413 and G903 on a Powerplay mousepad. Interested in a G915 but can't justify that $$$ since I want only red lighting… and the mousepad is wired. Having to plug in the mousepad kind of undermines the...

    Why do all fans look better from the intake side?

    Putting the motor-support struts on the intake side makes fans noisier, so the struts are on the exhaust side of fans. That's great how in that Silverstone fan listing, all the shots of the direction switch show a PCI bracket with empty holes in it.

    Weird allignment issue between case and motherboard expansion slots (O-11 Dynamic)

    My Lian-Li PC-O5SX had a similar problem with its expansion-slots alignment. On the O5 the slots are separate from the motherboard, so motherboard alignment wasn't an issue, but the bracket where the PCIe-cable end attached. Lian-Li denied it was a problem even after I sent a photo of my GPU not...

    High Density SSD's

    I have a two-bay NAS in RAID 1 for backups and archival, and a four-bay NAS in RAID 5 as media storage and streamer. Not having my backups guarded against HD failure would be kind of self-defeating. If the media storage failed I wouldn't lose data, I could re-rip everything from my DVDs and...

    Anyone ever rip the CPU out of the socket while removing the heatsink?

    Yep. Had an Athlon 64 that was giving me grief, just wouldn't run stable*. Went to reseat it, carefully following AMD's directions on how to remove the heatsink, it ripped out of the socket anyway. Gave up on it, threw out the CPU and mobo, built a pretty-new-at-the-time LGA 775 system. Swore...

    Mini-ITX Case Frame

    After building a TV stand and computer desk out of aluminum extrusion, and a few other miscellaneous furniture things, now and then I've been thinking about making a case, too. Never really got past the thought; my PC-O5SX is suiting me fine. Good to see someone else running with the idea though.

    Freedom From Facebook Call for Breakup

    What does breaking up Facebook, "spin off Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger into competing networks", even accomplish? Facebook will still be able to "decide the news people see", etc. etc., without them. There's something shady behind this.

    Anybody out There Still Listening to Music on AM or FM Radio?
