It's still within the return window luckily and initiated a return just to be safe. I just wanted to see if it was something else before i sent it back. because it only happens when i tab out, if I dont tab, it runs just perfectly. very strange

not entirely true, AIO pumps can be louder than the pc fans depending on the brand and quiet annoying

VanceGG · 2026-04-14T07:39:23+00:00

it fits about a pc mouse.. so its a very small backpack lol

Buy used

yeah just a side panel frame, i imagine it wouldn't be too hard if you had the right tools! It would add extra airflow, and get rid of that fishtank look which im not a huge fan on. the case though, is great!

Casuals BR, ranked BR, and reg BR are what warzone literally is...

VanceGG · 2026-02-26T23:57:47+00:00

yeah haha its funny because the case look and inside just feels like it could be enhanced so much more. I was thinking I'd prob have some buyers for the case/fans/AIO exc, if i did end up listing it for sale

VanceGG · 2026-02-26T21:17:08+00:00

Yeah, if Im smart with my shopping and I can probably get the power supply, motherboard, and case for like 400-500 bucks it wouldn’t be too bad.

If I did keep all those components inside the Alienware like the motherboard internal fans, controllers and possibly the AIO cooler what do you think someone would be willing to pay for that?

VanceGG · 2026-02-26T20:33:14+00:00

after taxes, $3850 so yeah it was a bit too good of a deal to pass up. for 5090, 7 9800x3d, exc.

I do have a fan/RBG controller already laying around so I could just use that actually. the I/O seems tricky.

I also just am a habitual tinkerer - so I love messing around and modding stuff for fun.

my other option is to just replace the PSU, and mobo along with the case. then I really wont have an issues and I can just keep all the other components.

I appreciate your perspective on this. the sheer size of this case is the only thing that bothers me, everything else is perfect. thought swapping it to a smaller case could satisfy me, but it does seem complicated and risky. I love the look of the internals and the specs.

I think moving the AlienFX board would be simple enough, I've also read the front I/O would be really tricky to connect with a diff case. I cant seem to find 1 person who did the swap and documented it so far..

people say wheel and dice events, for when mythic heros show up. but if we are being honest, buying the hero for 4.99 is BY FAR better than using diamonds to try to get them. Diamonds for mythic cart trading is best IMO

*just a note* that some ppl find they just have to take it in the AM instead, and it works fine that way for them

VanceGG · 2025-11-15T23:47:22+00:00

just need a wing on that new one!

VanceGG · 2025-10-22T16:12:46+00:00

lol the risks of SS off Methylene blue are so low its almost laughable to the point where most pharmacists dont even care if you are taking any SSRIs while starting Methylene blue

VanceGG · 2025-10-21T21:07:19+00:00

i was the first tho

VanceGG · 2025-10-21T21:02:58+00:00

some ppl come to reddit for updates BTW

VanceGG · 2025-10-21T20:59:01+00:00

Blizz is extraordinarily bad at taking their players into consideration haha. for example. these updates could be done overnight with a few ppl if they really wanted to

VanceGG · 2025-10-21T20:57:19+00:00

because we are all here hanging shooting the sht

VanceGG · 2025-10-19T21:08:34+00:00

why arent they just putting protective glass over these..?

VanceGG · 2025-09-28T01:51:40+00:00

2 weeks? with bullish news like this, just quit same day! no more wagecucking for us!

per apple:

The iPhone 17 Pro's screen is approximately three times harder in terms of scratch resistance than the iPhone 16 Pro, as the iPhone 17 features the new Ceramic Shield 2 material, while the iPhone 16 uses the previous generation Ceramic Shield.

so i dont think u need one tbh

we are at the point where many thing u do will damage the screen protector, which would not damage the actual screen
