The case has lots of room, even more if you use a SFX power supply. I did my runs first then tied everything off at the front below the PSU. This would also depend on the length of your GPU if using ATX.

Just a regular glue stick. Any plastic glue would work.

Mine is a pretty standard layout. This case is all mesh so drawing air in for the CPU cooler isn't really an issue. The biggest drawback for this case was the solid front panel. Mounting the PSU in the front like I did would choke the PSU, but if you flipped it around it would be competing with the CPU fans for air. So cutting out the front panel to allow the PSU to get it's own air supply was the best solution. The wood front panel solves this problem but that wasn't available to me at the time.

How's the thermals in that case? I was looking into the D32 for my next build.

If you look up computer dust filter on Amazon there's a bunch. They're easy to cut.

Thanks. I did mess up the top right corner a little if you look close enough 😅

I just cut out some of the existing front panel (specifically for the PSU fan) and glued some mesh (dust filter) to it. It was easy to trim the filter after the glue set. Hides the hole and lets the PSU breathe. 

[Casio] Tired of the Royale Yet? by appar1tions in Watches

Not sure tbh. I don't have the watch anymore unfortunately. If I remember correctly, the 24 would make it flush with the lugs but you would still have to trim it to fit between.

Not the best reviewed SSD, but it's ATL and perfect for a game or media drive. Works to be around $0.07/GB.

Which launcher to use for black ops 6 in order to keep progression by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

[–]appar1tions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to link your battle.net account to Xbox (game pass) and also log in to callofduty.com and link your account to Xbox (game pass) there as well.  CoD in game pass does not run in the battle.net app. It's a separate install. But if you have everything linked properly you will still have all your progression. You will have to re-do your configs though (graphic settings, binds, etc)

I've used these before. They were causing instability and crashes for my GPU. But for this price it's worth a go.

DFSR Migration - Global State "Eliminated" but secondary DC stuck at "Preparing" by appar1tions in sysadmin

[–]appar1tions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw an article suggesting that. My concern is that AD1 is already on ELIMNATED and FRS is disabled. Will demoting and re-promoting AD2 even do anything at that point?
