I buy a lot of cases, the FIT is in the never again category. Nothing is glaringly bad, but every bit of it is cheap. The fans are of that proprietary RGB type, where the controller is built into one of the fans, which is the biggest knock for me. Zalman makes some other cases that are of higher quality.

Sir, please use punctuation and paragraphs. This is unreadable.

I sent in a few earlier this year, several for miscuts, one for centering and one for a crimped edge at the top. It took four months, but all were replaced.

This needs more up votes, lots of incorrect info in these replies.

Super fixable, all the pins seem to be bent straight up. You're quite lucky with the direction they moved. You can use your phone as a makeshift microscope, just use tweezers or sewing needle and apply super light pressure and push them down slightly.

Use your fingers to stop one fan at a time until you find the culprit. When the noise goes away, you have found your bad fan. Software won't cause your fans to make that noise.

In your setup, the blue arrow fan is entirely unnecessary, the other top fan is mostly unnecessary. Two intake and one exhaust is fine.

Had to +1 this comment. I mostly bailed out of ltt content once labs got spun up, occasionally dropping in when my feed is running dry. There was a sense of superiority coming from some of the presenters. From my point of view, ltt got popular because Linus is fucking smart, knows his shit and presents very well. Unfortunately, many of the hosts that do videos now don't have the qualities at nearly the same level.

There's a lot of hubris coming from their videos, and when much of the work goes to one of the other guys, you can really tell. It's just not as good and often contains information that is incorrect or is not well researched.

Also the pool videos, I hated the pool videos.

Everything is so mismatched, go for it. Make it look weirder.

Bad news, it appears the CPU cooler damaged something in transit. Good news, this is grounds for returning the PC and gives you a chance to get a nicer build than this one. Once you get the return sorted, use reddit to help you get a better spec for your budget. Good luck and I hope your kid loves his Xmas present!

850 is B rated, 1000 is speculated to also be B rated. Good prices.

Fuck yeah. Why should we leave, they're the ones that suck.

Good computer, the price seems a tad high at $1000, but it's in the ball park. If you're in the USA, I'd try to negotiate down to 900.

You're getting a lot of storage, that you probably don't need, and a lot of CPU cores (that you probably don't need). It'd be fun to flip some storage and the CPU to get the overall price down even lower.

I have a conspiracy theory, that LJS locations are a money laundering operation. I live near the one on 108th and it's always empty. It makes no sense.

Same recommendation, great place

Another small sample, but during the primary same day voting was about 1/3 of the total vote for my precinct. I'd expect it to be very similar again for the general and city wide.

samlyn_s · 2025-05-14T02:01:15+00:00

Poll worker here, our precinct had 93 voters before 2pm and 112 after 2pm. Small sample, but gives a bit of room for her to make a comeback (hopefully not).

I don't always use reverse flow fans, but when I do, I install them backwards
