    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    SaperPL if you're looking for suggestions for improvements you can make on the Sentry, I've got one for you. Right now, there are 2 rectangular gaps (under the riser slot) between the CPU side and GPU side. It would be nice to have something that could restrict airflow between the 2 sides to...

    I wouldn't even bother with filters if I have to take the case apart. At that point I would just leave them off and use canned air to clean the parts.

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    A note on using the mag filters: My sentry is in the vertical orientation. I have filters covering all the vents. While playing a game my CPU went up to ~75C. I took the filter covering the CPU vent off and the CPU temps went down to ~53C. I'm probably just going to leave that one off from now on.

    Thanks for the info! If Vega doesn't perform well, then I'm sold on the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Edition GAMING (or most likely EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GAMING). Also, in the instructions for the NH-l9i they said if you have problems with heat, try not using the low noise adapter...

    How's the noise/temps with that card under normal gaming load?

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    An open air cooler with the GPU compartment sealed did the trick. Good to know. How is the noise? I assume it's quieter than a blower card and hopefully performs slightly better given the temp headroom. Also, anyone else can chime in here, what is the max LxWxH GPU I can fit in there. I'm...

    Nah, it's ok. I broke it so it's not their fault. Besides, if I end up needing more ports, I could opt for a hub. If I'm feeling extra fancy, I could solder on a new header. I don't use a lot of peripherals anyway.

    I finished my build minus the GPU. Waiting for Vega before I decide. Check it out: http://imgur.com/gallery/cRCO3 Oh, one thing to note. Be gentle with the USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. I broke a pin and now my front left USB port doesn't work :'( Also, Gr8Scott, I took pictures of the...

    I went with the ASRock X370 ITX. I chose this RAM (G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8GB) TridentZ Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz for Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory F4-3200C16D-16GTZ). I didn't remember to check the QVL list for compatibility. It ended up not being on the list, but worked out anyway. I set...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    As promised, I'm back with a picture. I don't have all the parts yet so it's not put together. I was Order #25 so first shipment, but to the US. It took 8 weeks and 5 days to arrive. My Sentry was #23. Edit: ZombiPL, SaperPL my packaging was near flawless. The outer box was almost punctured...

    See, I was going to just keep it, but the guys at Microcenter told me to buy an open box GPU and then return it once I was done testing. I will probably keep it because of the benefit of having a card dedicated for troubleshooting.

    I was one of the 10 or so cases shipped to the US that hadn't received the case nor had any updates on shipping status. It's been 2 months and 5 days, but finally this morning at 7am it arrived at my local post office and will be delivered today. Can't wait to get home and check it out! All my...

    I am one of the 20 left. I guess if they delivered 10 packages of the remaining 30 in a week, and they continue at that rate, I should see mine in 2 weeks.

    I'm right there with you. I checked the front office of my apartment complex every day for the past 2 weeks. Going to do the same this week. Hopefully it comes by this weekend so I can start buying parts and put it all together during the weekend.

    Because this is my first PC build, I'm not sure what to look out for besides features. What should I look out for with these two boards coming out in July?

    I'm holding out for AMD as well. I've never built a PC before. I started researching parts for a possible build. My immediate thought was intel because all the laptops I owned were intel. Then I saw Ryzen was coming out so I waited. 8 core 16 thread was a dream. I decided to wait for it and a...

    I still don't have my entry yet so I'll be waiting for that (First shipment to US, order 25). Then I'll be waiting for ASRock's AM4 mITX board because it has WiFi. By then I should have more details on Vega. Did you decide solely off the TDP and the heat it might generate? I'm sure it will be...

    I've had stuff shipped from China that takes this long, so it's not uncommon. It just kind of sucks that we got the slower shipping process. But, hey, that's what happens when you're the guinea pig.

    That won't work if it's been shipped to the US. All we have is USPS tracking telling us, "We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece." I would have gladly paid for extra shipping if I knew it was only going to take a week.

    1. Check your order id on indiegogo that should give you some idea. For example, mine was 25 and I got my order details with the first shipment. 2. I'm in the US and bought the DMCFilters as soon as they were available. They got to me in about a week. Unfortunately, the shipping to the US is...

    I'll be using my 17 year old Playstation 2 travel bag made by ALS Industries. It's lasted me through my PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, and Xbox One.
