HardcoreHunter Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I had that case. It got damaged by dogs roughhousing. 1
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 That case looks really small, but I like it. Solid State drive? Also what kind of processor and graphics card are you running in it? Those are the real questionss.

Case is plenty big enough with how it's compartmentalized. https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-haf-series-atx-desktop/p/N82E16811119265?Description=coolermaster&cm_re=coolermaster-_-11-119-265-_-Product 1
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Yeah it looks nice... It's way more expensive than my case. Not sure I like the "gamecube" like dimensions, but I'm used to standard towers.. That's all my current computer desk will fit anyway. 1

It's a 7-8 year old case, which means production of it has stopped long ago, which is why the price is the way it is. 1
Distinct Lunatic Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Supposedly the govt is gonna be deciding upon doing monthly stimulus checks, my guys are saying that it could come out to 2 grand a month for the next 6 months. If that does come to pass I'd definitely use that to pay off the rest of my car (which has 2 months worth of payments left) as well as my two credit cards (combined amount of $400-500), I'd also want to pay off the remainder of a three thousand dollar loan I have, but one thing I'm thinking strongly of doing is replacing the ryzen 7 3700x cpu I have with a 3950x. It's so much more power than I'll ever utilize, but I would love to have it. I would love to upgrade to Nvidia's upcoming GPUs, but I have a watercooled 2080 Super that will do me fine for the forseeable future, I might instead put that money towards the Vive Index. 1

Damn I might get to do some tech upgrades and video game purchases myself, but I'm not going to hold my breath for that. Things are already trying to go back to normal in my kneck of the woods. Of course wise people are still practicing social distancing.

Things are already trying to go back to normal in my kneck of the woods. Of course wise people are still practicing social distancing. Here in my county in Illinois supposedly they're gonna be having a voting session very soon about opening things back up by next month. What I'll likely do is upgrade to a 3950X for my main pc, that being pretty insane having a 16 core cpu. I'll likely stick with my 2080S, but what I think I'll do is redo the mITX pc I use in my living room. That pc uses a ryzen 2700 with my old 1070 graphics card. What I think I'll do is buy an mITX B550 motherboard when those come out (the annoying thing about the 3rd gen is there's only like 2 mITX 3rd gen motherboards, that going to change with the B550 chipset) and then use my 3700x in that system. I think I'll do a gpu upgrade, but just to something reasonable like a 2060 or the Super version or maybe even the 3060 when that comes out. The monitor for my main pc (the one I'm intending the 3950x for) is a 2560x1440p 165hz Gsync monitor. My mITX living room pc with the 1070 is connected to a 4k tv, 4k gaming definitely not something the 1070 is suited for.

Distortedreasoning Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 looka pretty nice. laugh at minecraft all you want but it does have one of the better implementations of ray tracing for a game. 1

Nothing actually fancy... a Ryzen 7 and an RTX 2060 ... and yeah I put an m.2 and a 1tb SSD drive in it 2
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 I really want an SSD. If I had waited a little bit longer to build my pc I might've ended up with one instead of the HDD I bought..

That case is perfect because my TV clears it so I can turn it toward me... and fans galore, even though I put a water cooling system in it. The radiator is behind the purple fans.

My aftermarket fans sound worn out a lot, but it took me forever to realize setting manual controls for them through my motherboards master control program could've saved them a lot of work.. My processor rarely gets hotter than say 50-60 degrees these days and the auto setting had them running almost constantly it seemed even when I wasn't running shit..

I got it because fans are loud and it'll last longer being water cooled, plus I can hang onto the water cooling setup for a long time.

That's what I'm saying I built this pc to be quiet as f with no water cooling. When I first built this I could dual boot and run any game I wanted and probably even record music at the same time with all my fans on and the only thing you would hear was maybe something that sounded like someone gently blowing on something. Props though I've never tried liquid cooling with a pc. Edited May 13, 2020 by PhilosipherStoned

I'm good It's easy to fix them honestly though if you know what your doing. Most of the time the annoying sound is just dust, but the bearings do go out eventually and need to be replaced.

Yeah it was the CPU fan bearings... my gf is using said PC now and it';s still kinda near me so I still have flashbacks But I like the watercooling aesthetic as well. Plus a radiator is easier to clean out. 1
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 well liquid cooling and ssd's are both the way of the future. Good job wih that, but everyone probably knows as much by now. This pc still works like a dream most of the time anyway. Aside from the fact I do need to do something about my worn out fans.

Liquid cooling has been a thing for quite a while and I've been noticing more people going back to air coolers. Honestly I prefer liquid just because they're easier for me to install.

As for SSD's They were still crazy expensive..more so than now anyway when I built this pc.

Prices have been steadily dropping with popularity, thankfully. 1
