Do they mean actually reliable? Or as reliable as any other Seagate hard drive? There is a difference.

My first thought was the old Tiger game watches actually. However, Nintendo and several other companies made them too:

I'm still that 0.000000001% I guess, as SSDs are still too small. So my Steam Library still sits on a WD Gold drive.

I agree.

There are tiers that include, and options to include the Pi. When you check out you can add it. Which is the issue. So they may need to source several hundred Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB models. Right now I can't source one, much less multiples.

So this has been popping up on many sites recently, and the thing that concerns me, is the Raspberry Pi. How long have these been unobtainable? This is a Kickstarter where you can order a product with one? That alone seems like a risk. Where are they going to get all these Pis to fullfill these...

4GB Pi Should be ~ $55 USD 8GB Pi Should be ~ $75 USD That Ali Express link shows the case at $46, case 4 GB $193, 8GB $221, so basically a $100 markup on the Pi? Not sure that's a good deal. That's scalper prices. At $200 there's plenty of mini PCs that start looking pretty interesting...

The mounting pressure even on a GPU will force out air. Steve (Gamers Nexus) and Roman (Der8auer) talk about this. (They are specifically talking about CPUs, but still).

I believe it's more in the context of a Z690 board with this kind of power design and features. I actually bought this exact board, because I wanted a good board for a 12900k build, that would be fine for overclocking. My only complaints with this board, or the "hard" mounted wifi antennas...

These do exist already, and have for some time. Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean. As for motherboard attachment points, you should check out these: Lian-Li GB-001 Anti-Sag Bracket This is the one I'm using: Lian-Li GB-002 Anti-Sag Bracket Both those attach to the motherboard behind...

I do like Silverstone HTPC cases, have 4 of them actually. I have to admit though, I'm a little surprised at how many HTPC cases are made without optical bays? In the living room DVD and BluRay are still very much a thing. I'd like to see something like the GD09 mixed with this one's mesh front.

Kind of what I was thinking. As someone who is running a 12900k and a NH-D15, I'm a bit skeptical..... I think I'll wait for some independent reviews.

I built a TrueNAS box using hardware I already had, and I ordered a cheap case that was on sale. When I went to expand the capacity I had to improvise. I looked into a few solutions: Phantek's Stackable 3.5" Brackets - I thought about using these as they were compact, and I could add just what...

Just noticed this, as I'm not on here much. It's not a currently produced case, so it's a little harder to find now. However, air flow is great I think. It's a mesh front and the entire top is mesh. I have 2 140mm fans on the front, 2 140mm fans mounted on the top, 1 140mm fan on the rear. I've...

You know it's funny how many people I build PCs for that say they don't need optical drives that tell me the end up missing them. I use mine regularly still. I'm using a Phantek Enthoo Pro M as it had a Glass side panel, clears NH-D15, and had space for an Optical drive. This case just needs...
