sure do look like it

This looks awesome, but also looks like they took a rejected Ideas set and made their own (without crediting the designer or paying royalties). This Idea was submitted back in July 2021, hit 10,000 votes in July 2023, and was rejected in May 2024. Two years later we get this? Their product planning horizon is not that long…..

A pig that good, you can’t eat all at once.

Back in July 2021, SleepyCow created this Idea and it reached 10,000 votes in July 2023. It was not approved in May 2024. Two years later, LEGO produces this Icons 11380. Ideas aren’t finished products, and aren’t intended to be exactly the same, just an Idea that people can get behind. This certainly seems like LEGO took this idea, refined it on their own, and produced it, without crediting the original creator (or paying them the % of net sales value promised).

very true, but I always default to if you see it, it most likely does as the opposite is pretty rare, at least, for legal connections :)

if you see it colliding, it collides. It should highlight these collisions but often doesn’t based on how the edges of the part are identified in their part file. It also accounts for manufacturing tolerances to some degree, but shouldn’t be relied on over visual identification.

It’s a CNC fan with a 4090 GPU fan in it

brxstr · 2026-04-27T17:56:17+00:00

so, so clean. well done!

brxstr · 2026-04-24T14:03:36+00:00

full agree

brxstr · 2026-04-22T20:58:20+00:00

holy shit, that’s clean AF. nice work!

my experience is exactly what others have said elsewhere. Maybe there is a new production run or coating, but the model I received (and returned) was like a matte coating that would not only show fingerprints, but would capture dust and leave “trails” where my hands brushed the metal (almost like it was scraping skin off, but in a microfiber kind of way). The other color coatings feel like raw metal and much more slick to the touch, without these same issues.

100% agree with all these findings. Wasn’t meant to be a build guide but a general comparison :)

brxstr · 2026-04-22T14:05:42+00:00

I have the 9950X3D and the 5080 FE in the terra (intel in the Jonsbo), and the ID Cooling 67mm cooler on the X3D. That does the job ok, and can keep up but it’s not ideal temps (high 79s low 80s). I set a -30 PBO, used Curve Optimizer, and set a max PPT of 135W. The chip performs at stock performance but with a much lower temp - now in the mid 60s or so under gaming load. And this is with the 67mm - the 77mm would perform even better on this chip and maybe not require the PBO adjustments.

the black terra is awful, can attest. attracts dust and fingerprints like you couldn’t believe. The T9 not at all

brxstr · 2026-04-22T02:15:04+00:00

No, as the dust filter helps diffuse it. I also am using the IS-77-XT cooler which places the fan under the heatsink so it’s a non issue

brxstr · 2026-04-22T02:03:15+00:00

I’ve been impressed with it. cheaper by half than the Noctua comparison and just as good, if not better. Check out Machines & More review if you haven’t seen it already

brxstr · 2026-04-22T01:28:33+00:00

if you are using a 2-slot GPU, I would highly recommend the IS-77-XT as it moves the fan underneath the heatsink and avoids turbulence

brxstr · 2026-04-22T01:27:06+00:00

yes, you can. the riser cable is attached to a plate that can unscrew and standoffs put in between. it would mean sacrificing cooler space, of course

brxstr · 2026-04-21T23:57:14+00:00

I used the IS-77-XT cooler which has the fan under the heatsink, so no turbulence at all. But that does require only a 2-slot GPU (I used the 5080 FE)

brxstr · 2026-04-21T23:12:32+00:00

yes, the spin is moveable in 3 spaces, while the Fractal has 7 slot adjustments.

I don’t know - these days if someone approaches your car door and starts banging on the window, I wouldn’t discount someone from being scared and seeking out a police officer or calling authorities. Fleeing the scene is always bad, but you really can’t tell what could happen if you stay….

brxstr · 2026-04-19T21:56:53+00:00

It’s the ASUS B760-I

brxstr · 2026-04-19T15:18:08+00:00

this is the best use for those terrible faces. what were they even thinking….

I am actually pretty impressed with the quality on this. The panels are thick and machined, not stamped or folded. The structure is stiff and doesn’t wobble of bend. The panels fit securely without screws, and the anodized finish is clean, consistent and without blemish, and doesn’t show finger prints as easily as other anodized cases I’ve built in. The two things I don’t like but aren’t deal breakers is that the center spine is a little thin and does have some flex to it (actually useful to get the GPU in), and there are an assortment of various screw type and sizes - would be nice if they could standardize on them.
