Thanks! Based off of this it looks like the other cable I already had will do the trick. :) And thanks to everyone overall because you all saved me a few dollars too. Hate to spend money unnecessarily.

Thanks for the advice. I've generally just grabbed one off the store shelf and not thought too much about it. It's been just over 4 years since I bought the one I've got but I have more to "protect" than I did then.

This is what I was initially looking at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00005113L/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_23_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RN8F2YP3055SY5GK7PXH&dpPl=1&dpID=510A23-w3eL It also looks like I jumped the gun on this one. I should have bothered to look at some of the reviews for the other power...

Yes, the power cord. Several reviews I looked at for some of the cables on Amazon mentioned the cables catching fire, smoking, melting, etc. Scary stuff. Now that you mentioned using that power cord from your monitor, I think I have an old power cord laying around somewhere too. Might try to...

Thought about that too. It probably is time to replace my current surge protector anyway. Part of the issue though is where I'm moving it to will be higher up on a shelf so the current cord won't reach my the surge protector I have now. You have the GE one you mentioned?

This is off the current subject so sorry in advance. Just something I came across that I found interesting. Was browsing the local Craigslist ads under computer parts and accessories and surprisingly came across someone selling a white Sentry case. Cost was $350 though. Regardless, I was still...

Glad I was able to help you out (in a sense) and return the favor for your input on my temps. It's definitely just a one man operation. His communication was really good which was important to me. If after reviewing your order he feels your measurements might be too long or to short, he'll let...

You're very welcome. Glad I was able to help.

I have the ASRock Z270M-ITX/ac. Looks like the layout is close enough to your board that I can offer up the lengths I went with. I got my cables from avaentum.com and he can do cables pretty much any length you want and was offering a $10 discount with the code HARD10 for HardForum members...

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. This definitely makes me think that I'm probably just being myself: concerned when I don't really need to be. :) That being said, I'm not going to worry about it too much for now and just go with what I've got unless I come across something alarming. No...

Thanks! Haven't had time to properly test temps yet and may not be able to until this weekend. Right now I'm showing 45c in the BIOS. I was thinking it should be a little bit better than that though. Thoughts? Would appreciate the feedback. Wondering if I need to reapply and/or change my thermal...

Finally got around to completing my build aka "Black Razor" last night and wanted to share. Here's a quick rundown of what's inside: CPU: Intel i7 7700 --originally planned to get an unlocked i5 but came across that eBay deal for the 7700 a while back and thought it was too good to pass up...

I'm currently in process of doing an Intel build but I'm using 16GB of Team Dark Pro RAM in red (product # TDPRD416G3000HC15ADC). It's 3000 MHz and there's also a grey in 3200 MHz (TDPGD416G3200HC14ADC01), both currently in stock at Newegg and are supposed to be Ryzen compatible. The timings are...

I also came across this: Sabrent M.2 SSD to 2.5-Inch SATA III Aluminum Enclosure Adapter (EC-M2SA). Listed on Amazon for 10.00. Supposedly offers full M.2 speeds in a SATA enclosure. Edit: Oops. After further investigation, looks like it doesn't work at full speed with NVMe.

It looks like Asus has added the Strix B250 and H270 Gaming itx boards, both of which are less expensive than the Z270. They both come in under 120.00 and still include the dual M.2 slots. Might want to check them out if you end up having to buy a new MB...

Just wanted to share a few things after receiving the Sentry yesterday. First, I'm waiting on custom cables and luckily they were shipped today. Can't wait to get everything installed. Now for everything else: 1. Internal box was in perfect condition. And it might sound weird, but I really like...

Just got my 1st batch Sentry! I missed the mailman by about 15 minutes and drove through our neighborhood and tracked him down to get it. :) I won't be able to open it and check it out until later this evening but I can say that outside of a few tears here and there in the plastic wrapping, the...

Finally received updated tracking info from USPS. Arrived in Memphis, TN at around 3:00 am (I'm in AR). With any luck, I'll have my Sentry within the next 24-48 hours! :)

You signed up for text notification with USPS? Haven't got anything from them but this gives me hope that I will in the very near future.

Let's not even joke about that... ;)

Assuming yours was in the 2nd shipment?

Wow. Not knocking you for getting your Sentry but just...wow. Where in the US are you if you don't mind me asking? Mine was shipped 5/5/17 and "Sent from Poland" on 5/10/17. This is the last update I show for tracking. I guess it's just the difference in how they got shipped? Alas, my exercise...

I was considering going with Ensourced if only to get custom cables quicker. Just checked and they need 14 full days for custom modular cables. Can't win for losing I guess. Also, what's the estimated shipping time to the US from Poland? I think someone asked before and it was 2-3 weeks?

Interesting. It says the exact same thing for mine. Bulk shipment maybe?

FYI: For anyone that's interested and hasn't come across it yet, there's a brief review of the Biostar Ryzen itx board up on the Bitwit YouTube channel. Might want to check it out...

Glad to see others are getting their tracking info too. Was hoping it wasn't just me.

Just checked and Indiegogo still shows the status as "locked". For anyone wondering, minus the tracking info, this what I got: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 6, 2017 6:15:25 AM To: ********** Subject: Sentry shipping information Hello again, As you...

Really?? I've been getting Indiegogo emails but occasionally Ząber emails don't show up. I feel like Gmail always blocks stuff and leaves it in some sort of pergatory for a few days before it shows up in either junk mail or inbox. The weird thing is that I originally signed up for the mailing...

Oh yeah. The email came from [email protected].

#158. It was in my junk mail folder. I just happened to check it.

I received an email with shipping info this morning! :) Anyone else?

Works for me. Thanks!

Hmmmm. I was thinking of getting the Trident Z. If the 44mm height is too tall when using the 2.5" drive bracket, what would be the max height you could use? Sorry if this has been covered already...

Yeah, I'm considering that too. May be the way to go. Thanks for the feedback. :)

Long time since I've posted but just I wanted to say congratulations on the successful campaign launch and I can't wait to receive the Sentry (in for a black one). Anyway, I'm pretty much just going to be transferring my existing system from a Silverstone RVZ02 to the Sentry. In thinking about...

Thanks. That's kind of what I was thinking but didn't know if the 130 mm was a set limit. The recessed connectors on the Strix is part of what made me consider it. That and I'm a sucker for the aesthetics of that card. ;)

First post but been lurking for a long while. I already had a $200 price point in my head so $195 or so is good to see. Quick question. I'm looking to get a new GPU and the one I'm looking at is 134 mm tall and looking at the Sentry website it looks like the max height is 130 mm. Is that...
