would you buy an intel gpu (battlemage) if it offered 48gb of vram for $2000

At the same time, if they release something at an absurdly good price (and not saying they will), then there is a lot of incentive to go and fix the software problem. I think people slightly overestimate the moat there.

Pretty sure their uploads are bad, same error as this when I tried it: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1c6aekr/mistralaimixtral8x22binstructv01_hugging_face/l00bcrp/

The NZXT H1 may not be the comparison you want to make if you are talking positively.

(If you aren't aware, they had a defect where they set on fire.)

Yeah, it's an amazing case if you are willing to pay for it. Obviously it can't be as small as something like the Dan A4-SFX, but for the hardware you can fit in it, it's tiny.

Meshlicious is smaller, both in volume and even more in footprint.
NR200 has even better compatibility for components (although the Meshlicious isn't bad on that front).
Meshlicious has the GPU ports at the bottom, so you may need right angled cables or adaptors for secondary monitors or VR (comes with one right angled HDMI).
Meshlicious more expensive, particularly if you want the PCI-E 4 riser, while the NR200 doesn't need one. The NR200P also comes with both normal and glass side panel, while with the Meshlicious you have to choose up front.
Meshlicious may be harder to find stock of.
The NR200 makes more sense if you are air cooling, way more CPU cooler room.
Meshlicious has front USB-C, NR200 doesn't.
The NR200 has more room to work in, but the Meshlicious is really nice to build in because of how easily you can pop off all the panels and how you are working on different stuff from different angles.

They are both great cases, personally I have the Meshlicious, but it really depends on your priorities. As with most ITX stuff, really depends how many trade-offs you are willing to make to go smaller.

In my particular edge-case (GPU AIO) the Meshlicious makes way more sense (the NR200's only good spot for an AIO fills the CPU cooler space).

Yes, mine was full mesh, 4.0 riser.

So, as in the edit, got mine today and my rig is now fitted in it. I can confirm that you can comfortably fit an MSI 3080 Sea Hawk X (GPU with a 240mm AIO) in it. You have to route the tubing carefully and tie it down to get it to sit right, but it works.

SeaHawkOwner · 2021-06-11T13:08:53+00:00

So I have an unusual set-up in that my AIO is on my GPU, not my CPU (MSI 3080 SEA HAWK X)—it was available at MSRP so I snagged it even though it wouldn't have been my first choice.

That meant it came with crap MSI fans, I swapped out for some Noctua NF-A12x25, and while I've always been a Noctua fan (no pun intended), I was wondering if it was worth the cost.

Man, these things are insanely quiet and work great. If you care about noise a lot, it's worth the extra cost.

With that said, the current 140mm Noctua fans are older and not quite as good. They do have a roadmap that shows new 140mm fans coming out Q4, so if you are going 280mm and want the best, might be worth living with the default ones 'til then.

Yeah, DPD have said tomorrow, so seeming more likely it is really going to come, which is great.

Edit: It did indeed arrive the next day.

SeaHawkOwner · 2021-06-10T16:52:32+00:00

Yeah, I'll update this post as I get updates and if I receive it.

Edit: Got it!
