@Reynod - they eat it eventually. If not later that night, It goes in their lunchbox for school the next day. And maybe they throw it away and lie to me about it, who knows.

My example might have been irrelevant or over the top. And I apologize. I just feel like this has turned into the "Give Mirakledba advice he won't even consider" thread.

I just thought it would be a good idea to get something available instead of obsess over something that isn't going to happen.

Paying $700 to ship a $100 case just seems silly to me and not fair to the man that has to foot that bill when local options are available.

But your right, I'm not in your situation so I may never understand.

 

[Mirakledba]

Stick - yeah, just forget about me, ill deal with my problems. We can talk about other stuff here. And my define R4 could still come...we will check other places but if i get the option to get one, I will. Case closed. Next person can start a new topic.

 

[stickg1]

It doesn't have to be like that. I'm sorry for popping off, I have my own personal stuff that's stressing me and I've been in a bit of a mood lately.

I apologize for that. I'm going to take a bit of a break.

 

[nukemaster]

Next topic.

Boxers or Briefs?

 

[Onus]

Briefs. They take up less space in the drawer, hamper, and washing machine, and are cheaper.

 

[Mirakledba]

Stick - Dont worry man, I was the one complaining. I have my problems too. I have 3 days left to submit work before finals. Stressed about that.

Nukemaster - Boxers all the way...Briefs are annoying and tight and would only be good for sports. Boxers give you more freedom

Onus - Not if you know how to fold em' correctly 😉

 

[Mirakledba]

Actually wait, Im wearing boxer briefs...Um, Boxer briefs all the way....Boxers are too baggy (Thought of the wrong ones) Briefs are too right. Boxer briefs are JUUUUSSTTTT right XP And I also have boxers. Love those too.

 

[Onus]

There is more material in boxers than in briefs. Given that the air can be rolled out of either one, the boxers will always require more space.

 

[Mirakledba]

Onus - This is just getting weird. Sicko's be like " I dont even wear anything under my pants!" 😛 Ok, change in topic. This time about PC's.

Bling LED monstrous looking PC's or just Simple and Elegant with still same performance as the bling looking ones?

 

[stickg1]

I converted to boxer briefs a couple years ago. Best of both worlds!

I can't wait to assemble my mini rig.. Hopefully this weekend.

PS I even sleeved the wires on the stock Intel CPU cooler!

 

[Lutfij]

Mini rig?!?!?! Oh do tell!

 

[RussK1]

Tighty whitey's all the way!

 

[Mirakledba]

Be sure to post pictures of it 😀 Looking forward to them!

And RussK1 - NO...OH LORD JUST PLEASE DONT XD

 

[Onus]

Minimal bling. I like a little glow to let me know the machine is on, ready to do my bidding, but that's about it. No roaring fans or whistling radiators, no floodlights illuminating the whole room, just a PC ready to do what I want.

 

[Lutfij]

Oh yeah forgot to answer that, got all excited about "mini"+"rig" in 1 sentence 😀

BOXERS!!!

I too am a fan of subtle ambient lighting. Nothing over the top. If you're involved in a scratch case build the anti vandal switches are perfect for such a task. They illuminate well enough to give off an ominous presence :lol: and they aren't in your face.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah I like me some light. I would even consider lighting up the whole Inner PC but the case should be minimal.

 

[stickg1]

I have a ton of lighting in mine, but the window is tinted acrylic.

The mini isn't going to be all that awesome. It's a Silverstone SG08, ASRock H77 miniITX, and i3-3220. I might get a GPU for it. Not sure yet.

So true

Interior lighting could be useful when working on a PC, except that power should normally be off at those times. I have a LED headlamp and another LED flashlight I use to shine into a case when I'm working on it.

 

[stickg1]

I've actually used my case lighting for that. Although powered with an external jumped PSU. Very handy.

 

[Mirakledba]

Well, I don know how LED's will look in a define R4. ...I wont get light bars as that will be too much and just no, I'd get those small light dots like Stick because that isnt too much and not too little.

 

[stickg1]

I made my own. I got a 16ft roll of LEDs on Amazon for $15 and soldered a Molex connector to it. That way I can cut them to size. If my mini parts don't come this weekend I was going to redo my LEDs, a little less with better sleeving.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah but my point was, I'll just get dotted LEDs.

 

[tiny voices]

I use a single strip of BRIGHT white LEDs in the top of the case. It cannot be seen and it lights the whole case up nicely. I am not a fan of colored LEDs or LED fans at all. Clean and simple is the look I always go for.

 

[Mirakledba]

Tinyvoices- UPDATE: Yeah One single WHTIE LED is cleaner...but will it match my red and black themed build?

What you saw before was a mistake...typos from my phone. I got out of bed and got my laptop to post this..... xD
