    Question is... is it too late for them to get out of the hole they've been in the past year or two?

    At least their stocks are back up above $2.50...

    ugh, i hate usb dongles. had such bad luck in the past. i could pci-e if the motherboard has a slot, but i figured i'd avoid having to do that and get one with built-in wifi. that and i have yet to find a mini itx fm2 motherboard with a pci-e slot...

    I know the NH-D14 is supposed to be good, but there's something wrong here.

    8 hours of IntelBurnTest (Ran it, went to work, came back and it was still running)

    Now, the max temperatures were 35c.



    Idle temperatures are 8-12c, I don't know if it's my room that's cold and I just can't notice it or... Honestly I'm confused.

    AMD CPUs run cooler than intel, because they have to, their temperature cap is lower.
    Also, some motherboards have non-functional idle temperature measurements.

    The TJ Max is 90c as far as I can tell, I'm going to try & do some overclocking tomorrow.

    Doesn't that MSI board have a PCI-E slot?

    But sadly it never gained the fame & popularity of its' parents

    Ironically the Storm series tried to boast portability with their handles on top.

    The day I freely carry this huge thing around by its' handles is the day the side window will probably break, along with my back >_<

    I never really saw the point of carry handles on something that is so heavy you move it once, from the place where you built it, to your desk, and there it stays. My Arc midi when EMPTY weighs about the same as a 20x0.5 crate of beer (glass bottles).

  19. #2839
    I don't think my Define case is heavy, despite components or the metal structure. Or rather, it doesn't feel heavy because it's a comfortable carry. It is not a case I'd appreciate carrying handles. A lot of the time, they look tacky (Vengeance C70, the tacky of all tacky cases), but on some, they are absolutely necessary.
    I'd prefer the carryingstyle I can use with my Define, lean it to chest, hold under/side, and you lift it with the whole body. It wouldn't work with heavier or bigger cases, so I can understand why some do have it, since no other way works. /shrug

    I think something that really helped to make computers more carry-able is that we now mount power supplies at the bottom of the case, not the top. Not having a 2kg box of capacitors and rectifiers making the case quite top heavy is a real boon (and why did nobody seem to think about it for years?)
