I came home Friday night with a shiny new 10850k in hand.

No of course I don't nearly need it. nyandood;

Quote from: Hiro on March 13, 2021, 11:42:55 PMcan I find you some weird ass cases

yes please :3

i'm not entirely sure i want a new case just yet (i mean i'm only now getting a motherboard that properly fits my current one LOL) but i do kind of like the idea of an entirely new æsthetic and totally novel pc experience

tbh your case seems pretty decent, plus having a disc drive takes out a lot of options these days

oh the case on pcpicker is actually just a placeholder lol

my actual one is the much older version of this

https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-11-353-136

all black, no rgb

i do like it v. much but i'm also not opposed to getting something entirely new if y'all've any suggestions

I mean, I will need something to keep the old still fully functional components fully functioning in. sillydood;

Is the disc drive a requirement then? If not I think the Fractal Meshify 2 Compact would be good for you
this also seems decent: https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-nr600-with-odd/
I personally really like small form factor cases but I understand if you don't

cant you just pull the disk drive out and throw a hdd/sdd in their? you could in the 90s

Quote from: Hiro on March 14, 2021, 05:28:15 PMIs the disc drive a requirement then?

I suppose not... it wouldn't be hard to mount an external drive to a bayless case. befuddlement

Sooo I just bought this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B087BVJ1KN/). nyandood;

i am going to insist on 4, or at least 3 frontal usb ports though lol

Alright boyos hit me with your best cases in the <$130 range. A bit of æsthetix would please me, somewhat. bassir;

The Masterbate nr69™ might be a little too brutalistic. (https://i.imgur.com/99Wm27F.png)

the meshify is kinda nice but also kinda... crumpled huhdoodame;

Also I found 16gb of Intel Optane™ for $10. goowan

i like this implementation of brütalism much more than the nr600's, and BOY do i appreciate a case with 4 usb frontal ports

Why the fuck; is that so rare? Who the fuck; can survive on just two? psyduck;

still i would prefer something a tad more intriguing to look at lol

i wish it weren't so but they are complete and total ass dude

I purchased this motherboard from Newegg last week.

(https://i.imgur.com/lHS9Omg.png) (https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-z490-f-gaming/p/N82E16813119269R?)

Seemed like a decent enough discount. befuddlement

But there was a catch (that you're probably intended not to catch).

(https://i.imgur.com/HKRushX.png)

See anything unusual? I didn't either. Gee, you'd think such an important detail as "OPEN BOX" would be more prominently featured on the listing, and especially in the link to the fuck; ing listing. goonish

Yesterday I received a generic white box containing the board alone and literally nothing else. Without its accessories it is a functionally useless piece of plastic. I had no way whatsoever of knowing this is what I purchased, as "open box" clearly does not appear in the item's link. psyduck;

It took me ONE AND A HALF HOURS of half-intoxicated debating with their poor overexploited underappreciated customer service person last night before she would recognize that this was OBVIOUSLY not my fault. They wanted over $50 in shipping and """restocking""" fees for me to return their mislabeled, incomplete and defective product. goonish

I'm quite pleased to announce that I debated her down to $0. happydood;

i REALLY hate that i had to waste so much of both of our time on this stupidity though, just fukken acknowledge that your website design is poor at best and malicious at worst, and take back the garbage you sent me when i purchased something in good faith reasonably expecting it not to be garbage

jesus fuck; ing christ is that SO hard

i am so glad they send us chat transcripts, you should see how utterly ridiculous this conversation was LOL

https://www.docdroid.net/XAj3zrt/gmail-newegg-your-chat-transcript-with-newegg-customer-service2-pdf

I willingly spent nearly $400 on Newegg as recently as a week ago. Now they will likely never see my business again. happydood;

And I sincerely hope this representative will find a better employer in the future. smth;

oof damn, well i'm glad you were able to return it for free wrench;


and of course you would do this over chat  n_u
i would too

it's funny you say that because i actually dread fuck; ing """chatting""" with customer service reps

i go out of my way to avoid it, i MUCH prefer calling

shitass newegg's hotline however was closed and """chat""" was my only option

And honestly I think that turned out to be a good thing. Discussing this over text allowed me ample time to develop reasonable counterpoints to Newegg's loads of bullshi. happydood;

the customer service feedback i left after the HOUR AND A HALF it took for them to do the BARE MINIMUM to correct the problem THEY caused ME:

"The customer service person I spoke to was wonderful. Newegg's policies are not. I can only hope she'll soon find a better employer."

LMAO goodjob;

and in addition to the hour and a half of my invaluable time i lost to this nonsense, and the even more time and money and slightly-more-expensive-these-days-but-still-WILDLY-underpriced gas i'll also have to spend to take the damn thing to ups..........

I had fully intended on having this computer completed by tonight. I have all other necessary components. Yet I'm now delayed by AT LEAST another week. SocksDood;

honestly they should have provided me restitution for pain, suffering, lost time and lost money i COULD'VE made in a week's worth of ethereum mining as well

fuck; newegg

that whole discussion was hilarious

are you opposed to glass side panels? you don't seem to like rgb but you also don't want a black monolith, but don't like the meshify so I dunno what else there is  akudood;
cooler master seems to have a lot of good options actually, maybe the silencio s600 or the n400?

also you might want to consider something like this if you need a lot of ports and whatnot https://www.amazon.com/TSUPY-Extended-Compatible-Laptops-Tablets/dp/B07V6VWWKL/ref=sr_1_3

Quote from: Hiro on March 20, 2021, 04:18:36 PMare you opposed to glass side panels?

oh no of course not lol, even my current case has a glass side panel

that's basically the standard these days, which i don't mind at all

I do still want glass. I don't particularly want a black monolith, unless it's really æsthetic. goodjob;

And while my current PC is unlit, I'm actually not at all opposed to a bit of tasteful, easily disabled RGB. :3

I just prepared it for shipping. You'll be pleased to know I deliberately packed it into an inappropriately sized Amazon box. ifeelbetter;

That'll teach 'em. nyandood;

alright i think i'm narrowing down potential case choices

How does this make you feel? y/n

ugh rosewill is a newegg label ugly; but okay i'll keep it in the running for now

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07DRVHBWK

...How does this make you feel? y/n

i feel like it's a little ugly judging by those amazon pics but i also feel like it might be less ugly in person, idk

HELP

also if you know of any others roughly akin to those examples plz feel free to share happydood;

i made a disgusted face irl when i saw the third one

the rosewill is my favorite

https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Tempered-Panoramic-Wall-Mount-CA-1G4-00M1WN-06/dp/B07BFGB8Z6

...how does this make you feel y/n

why is it missing the side panels

i guess it could be nice used as a table sillydood;

I like the thermaltake one, they have a version with curved glass that goes around the front too
the rosewill one looks the best out of those three but i also have never heard anything good about rosewill ever
I have heard great things about the fractal meshify on the other hand, great thermals and whatnot

Quote from: Thyme on March 22, 2021, 05:51:51 PMwhy is it missing the side panels

i was concerned about this as well but having reviewed some reviews, it looks like partly exposed components aren't as much of a liability as i expected they would be befuddlement

it's arguably easier to keep clean because, well, there's no enclosed space for dust to get trapped lol

it would be nice to not have to disassemble my pc just to dust it out every now and again (jesus christ you should see what my current one looks like lol)

Quote from: Thyme on March 22, 2021, 05:51:51 PMi guess it could be nice used as a table sillydood;

a legitimate use according to the reviews sillydood;

Quote from: Hiro on March 22, 2021, 06:04:31 PMI have heard great things about the fractal meshify on the other hand, great thermals and whatnot

me too, but it's so... crumpled >.<

and also extremely common which as a hipster displeases me somewhat

what where :O

it genuinely is æsthetic but

same awdood;

to make matters worse, i just discovered that same case on ebay on sale for just $50....... awdood;

Quote from: Magyarorszag on March 22, 2021, 07:53:20 PMme too, but it's so... crumpled >.<

and also extremely common which as a hipster displeases me somewhat

I feel like I see thermaltake, lian li, and nxzt in every generic fancy setup anyway, and cooler master and corsair are p. common as well. I'd just get the case you like the best regardless of popularity.
Also I think the crumple is a nice subtle decoration that doesn't look like edgy gamer shit that so many cases have

Quote from: Magyarorszag on March 22, 2021, 07:53:20 PMwhat where :O

https://www.thermaltakeusa.com/core-p3-tempered-glass-curved-edition.html
but yeah my understanding is these cases are generally best for liquid cooling setups as they can't create much of an air current for cooling

imagine screwing up so badly as a retailer that even EBAY begins to look like a reasonable option

that's how i ended up getting my board lol

Brand new, unopened, performs well beyond my expectations, for $10 less than I paid for the single helpless piece of plastic Newegg tried and failed to scam me into buying. Thanks random eBay stranger! wrench;

and as for the progress update... the cpu cooler turned out to be too large for the case

(https://i.imgur.com/heBxn9x.jpg)

I can't fully close the side panel with it installed. smithicide;

And the search for a suitable alternative has complicated the assembly process dramatically. This was supposed to be a one-day, maybe one-weekend project.

I had gathered all planned components by late March and expected to be done three Saturdays ago.

And to this day, I'm still not finished. (https://i.imgur.com/CfHJqQh.gif)

chug those trulys homie it will come together shortly thereafter

damn that sucks, pc build issues are the worst. i had a some build problems a few years back and it was one of the most disappointing feelings ever. was the build fine other than the cooler being too large?

Quote from: ikanaide on April 24, 2021, 03:42:49 AMdamn that sucks, pc build issues are the worst. i had a some build problems a few years back and it was one of the most disappointing feelings ever.

I subsequently cycled through three separate coolers before finally finding a suitable alternative. (https://i.imgur.com/BKsIAyQ.gif)

the first was too darn big, the second was too darn big in another dimension, the third was flat-out broken goonish

I've now settled on cooler number four. goodjob;
