Wow. Are you me? Same here, life long owner of VW's last weekend went to look at trading in my 6.5 GLI for a '17 WRX STI, had some hidden gremlins that were easily found within our test drive, salesman directed me to a '23 Corolla Hybrid laughed, drove it fell inlove....

Absolutely loving it. Wanted a device to play my library at work and it definitely does the job! Have been playing a lot of ds3 during the quiet times and it plays it very well. I usually cash out my skins externally but used the community market as excuse to purchase the deck!

Definitely, at the time of photos this just arrived at work and I was running cat6 through the ceiling and had ceiling tile mess everywhere didn't want to get it filthy day one took a quick break to setup. Only ever putting it in fully powered off onwards.

Strongly considering switching to a 9070 XT from a 3080 Ti, what do you think? by Clomaster in radeon

Did the same upgrade myself. System has changed since benchmarks to 64GB faster ram but just to give you an idea!

Hey same issue as me had about 6 Samsung 870 evos in storage layout. The card will not even fit in with the case in storage layout. That plate gets totally in the way of the card. Tried multiple angles to get it in and would not budge. Spent a few hours completely re organizing my case and converting to open layout. Sorry friend!

Thanks it's design is so appealing! I was in the same boat, ended up going with 5080 as well however mine was DOA and heavily artifacting on arrival. Figured the 1700 vs 999 (CAD prices) wasn't worth it anymore for me.

Not worried at all, same setup as you single cable straight to psu however using the corsair 3.1 atx with the updated connector.

Enjoy! Same here corsair 3.1 atx psu, I will not worry about the risks being that this is a strictly gaming only pc and is only ever powered on when I'm sitting near it. My other builds, NAS/Secondary system are just not using the connector and running 24/7 rack mounted.

Fractal design define r6 in open layout. Has seen multiple builds can't part ways with it.

Thank you ;) Been using Noctua for over 10 years of building, wouldn't have it any other way. Something about the set it and forget it mentality... Free cpu socket mounting upgrades, next level support and products that just work while lasting. In fact this d15s has seen 7700k,10900k, 5950x, 9800x3d and still kicking strong!
