Yeah there’s tons of great content on the internet nowadays, RN my 280 is exhaust out of the top and 360 intake from the side of my o11d. It’s still a great case, but not the best for airflow, my last couple of cases have been dual chamber so I wanted to build something a little different...

Yeah it'll be exhausting out of the top, I won't need to touch any of the stock fans, it comes with 4 x 140mm, I could add the 360 ek cool stream rad from my current PC to the bottom but I honestly don't think it's worth the trouble, I'll most likely just add 120mm intake fans at the bottom and...

Had to go with Lancool III (black only $140 but RGB version) as the EK Quantum Surface rads are too wide for the FM2, still happy with the case, LCIII is the better performer and more modular, it’s big and heavy though. I preferred the Fractal for aesthetic and build quality but Lian Li is great...

I’m still leaning towards the Fractal Meshify 2, I like the minimalist design and flexibility of the case, especially for a mid-size. The only other case that I could really compare to it is the Lancool 3, but I prefer the aesthetic of the FM2 a couple of the only mid towers that support 3x140mm...

The Corsair iCue 5000T is available in White brand new for only $205 at my microcenter, is this a superior case compared to the Fractal and Lancool at that price point (it usually sells for $399)?

Yeah I think kitguru has the best case reviews around at least in video format, he goes into great detail regarding case features and how to utilize them. It’s very similar to the Antec C8.

Yeah the 6500D is a really beautiful case with a great form factor, there’s almost too many options! I love how the dual chamber cases typically sit shorter and wider as well. I’ve been running dual chamber with the lian li o11d and it’s worked great so I’m not opposed to the 6500D and Corsair...

The Thermaltake CTE E600 Max looks nice as well I’m not sure if I’m sold on the 90 degree angle motherboard mount though. I think Fractal, Corsair and Lian Li are the way to go, but there’s quite a few other great brands like Phanteks, Cooler Master, Antec, NZXT, DeepCool, Silverstone etc. I’m...

I’m leaning heavily towards the Meshify 2 (most depth/length I can comfortably fit), I really like the 5000/7000 cases but they don’t allow bottom radiators. I like the all glass appearance of the NV7 and H9 but the tower sits under my desk anyway, I think the extra airflow from the front is...

Yeah that’s a sweet case I like how you can mount the fans to the side panel, it’s a little big compared to what I’m looking for but I’m sure it’s amazing! Is that a Super Tower case?

The bundles can change from day to day. They had a 12900K bundle that was $399 I think, I know this isn't the right section but I'm going to list the cases I'm looking to upgrade to as I have the original Lian Li o11 Razer edition (2019?) mid tower, it's still really nice but I'd like a bit more...

What about something like the Arris Surfboard SB8200 3.1 Docsis modem? I live in an apartment so I’m not sure if I need a router, just curious if I should upgrade the IP provided modem that Arris SB has good reviews. I only pay for Wifi from Optimum so cable TV and landline aren’t in the...

I have an open loop with an EK D5 - Res combo an EK CPU Block and two rads a 280 and 360 in the Lian Li 011 Dynamic Razer case. I haven’t put a waterblock on my last couple of GPUs, it’s just not worth the hit on resale imo and the 4070 Ti is efficient as it is. I’ll be getting the EK Quantum...

I’m so dumb I didn’t realize this router wasn’t Docsis compatible Thanks, yeah except the router, I didn’t realize it’s not compatible with Docsis connections. Is there any point to upgrade an IP provided docsis modem on a 500Mbitps connection?

Just got back from Micro center got approved for their card went with 6 months 0% interest if paid in full. 13700k (wouldn’t swap to 14th gen) bundle with 2 year motherboard support from MC ($35). Seasonic 850PSU and a ASUS RT-AX1 800S router for total $800. I prob won’t get a chance to throw...
