There is objectively no reason not to switch to mini itx
Why haven't you made the switch /g/?
I don't own a desktop.
muh gayms
>>52091056
Because it can't fit my 6 harddrives and 2 graphics cards.
micro-ATX tower race reporting
>>52091056
What case is that?
>>52091164
I use this exact case. It's a great case, but my shit *barely* fits inside of it. It literally has 0cm of space between my CPU cooler/GPU and the panel. I'm definitely going mid-tower next build
no space
too expensive to get hardware that's good for it
>>52091149
>6 harddrives
For what purpose?
>>52091164
You're on the right track at least, but micro atx really isn't that much smaller than atx

>>52091056
Those cases are fucking overpriced.
Also, PSU with fans? Lmao. Wake me up when we'll have fanless PSUs in desktop PCs.
>>52091056

Is that supposed to be the 500 GB version? Damn. What a rip off. Didn't 500 G drives used to be at least 48p?
>>52091056
For portability and such M-itx is great
For versatility and upgradability M-atx is great
ATX is shit tier for consumers top tier for Workstation

>>52091056
>There is objectively no reason
Ok. Cause I don't wanna switch.
>>52091149
>6 hardrives
might as well just setup your own nas server by now
>>52091340
This
And I actually game but that response >>what purpose is beyond baffling.
Not everyone uses their computer for just porn and shittposting. And file servers are not always practical.
>>52091056
So I want a sub-$500 build in a mini-ITX case with specs like http://pcpartpicker.com/p/D4Xfqs
Obviously that has a shit load of incompatibilities but I'd like something like that. Is that possible?
>>52091340
Oh yeah I forgot I was on /g/ where everyone hoards terabytes of anime
>>52091056
smaller fans = louder noise
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VWJb7Ppretty set on the case I'm try not to spend more than 350 on this right now I'll be adding a 390 and an ssdin later how can I improve it? Am I bottle necking myself?
>>52091056
nothing impresses sluts like a full tower anon-kun~
>>52093036

>>52092714
Only thing incompatible is the mobo and case. Dump that case for an ML-07, get a nice mini itx board, and slap a water loop in it.Also, get a 4370 for a bit more if you can't afford the step up into i5 range.
>>52092529
When is a fileserver less practical than housing six hard drives in your desktop?
Because I have, op.

Fine, here's my old case.

>>52093191
e-atx.nigga I just had to use an ssi eeb mobo, that shit is awkward to find a decent case for.
>>52093190
Care to share what case that is?
>>52091362
Couldn't fit in another .5gb of vram?
>>52091056
>There is objectively no reason not to switch to mini itx
I like big clunky electronics, muh vidya, and I need space for a bunch of hard drives.
Help an anon out /g/, is there anything wrong this build? I've never built a PC before and can use all the input I can get.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WxBLHx
>"objectively no reason not to"
>it costs more money
sounds pretty objective to me
>>52093111
Its called in win because you win if you can fit anything in it
>>52093309
I would imagine cable management being more difficult in such a small case. Could you afford to get the semi-modular version of that PSU? I know they have a CX430M.
>>52093428
Yeah, I can stretch my budget a little for that. Thanks.
>>52093190
Anybody know what case this is?
>>52093514
Also, I just noticed, you can get an R7 370 for a little cheaper than the 260x, and get better performance as well:

>>52093613
Would you recommend this over a 750ti if I was willing to go a little higher?
>>52093662
Yes, it has an edge. You can always just Google "Card A vs Card B" to view benchmarks and discussions people have.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VWJb7P sorry posting from my phone can anyone help
No space, only one card slot. Really regretting only one card slot because I can't fit my gpu & a WiFi card, and I'm not near enough to the router to use Ethernet. USB adapters are trash.
>>52093100
When you don't wanna burn like those guys in Auschwitz. And noise. And space.
>>52091056
Not enough ram.
good luck finding a case that fits muh Vapor-X without being retardedly huge
>>52091056
Micro ATX is cheaper desu senpai
>>52091056
>muh smaller is better
fuck off faggot
>>52092521
no point in paying extra for a NAS and dealing with transferring shit over ethernet when you can just all have it on your rig retard.
>>52091056
>>52091362
I kind of want this exact setup. Mind sharing the name of that case?
I want a PC that I can fit in the entertainment center under my TV and can play Fallout 4. I don't mind if I have to sacrifice xXx_memeverclocking_xXx or turn the settings down a bit as a tradeoff.

>>52093837
Maybe if it's always under heavy load, but that kind of defeats the purpose
>>52091056
3x 980Ti, 64GB RAM, 1200watt PSU, adequate cooling.... if you find me a mini atx that can fit those I am in
>>52094136
>>52091149
>they fell for the multi-gpu meme
>>52094136
I just have them for benchmarking and because I could...

Hey man, if you wanna go cheaper get the Corsair CSM 550 and not the CX series. Its 80+ Gold, about the same price, goes on sale often and it's primary capacitors are from Nippon Chemicon instead of that Samxon garbage.
Try this build instead.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/n3H4xr
>>52094191
How's the cooling?
>>52091056
Any case that has enough room for the rest of my shit has more than enough room for an E-ATX board.
>>52093224
SSI EEB is easy. SSI MEB in a Corsair 700D isn't perfect but it can be made to work.

Two 250GB SSDs are on the way for a RAID 1 boot drive, and a controller card is on the way for my 4x 250GB HDD RAID 10 array,
4K is great but this monitor is shit. It runs extremely cool compared to my LP2475ws which is a plus in a multi monitor setup, but has issues related to overclocking and performs like absolute shit without it.
>>52094156
I bought a 770 gtx because that is what I was able to afford and then 2 years later I bought another one because it was cheaper and the cheapest solution to get the highest performance.
>>52094227
Silent and under 70 degrees at all times for both GPU and CPU.
>>52091056
Next build will be. Fuck gaymes.
>>52091056
I'd have to buy a new case and a new CPU cooler and I don't think either of those are worth the investment
Need more PCIe

Yeah, ut's gonna be a meme until they can muster the bandwidth necessary to utilize 100% of both cards' resources.
>>52094610
>video game
>primary demographic being children anymore
Pick one. Most games are aimed at adult males now.
>>52094610
please list your hobbies mr. adult
>>52094643
aimed at manchildren*
I'll probably get a case fan by the graphics card as it seems to run a little hot. Also I'm not sure why but the mobo doesn't seem very well electro statically insulated.
This is the 450w PSU that came with the case and those were the bulkiest of all the wires.
>>52094659
Some of the most non-manchild people I know play video games. One of them has kids and plays at least 20 hours a week. Another guy works an $80k a year welding job, comes home, cleans the grease off of himself, and plays at least 40 hours a week. In conclusion, you're dumb, and you really shouldn't worry about what's "for adults". It just makes you look insecure.
>>52091056
using that Exact Case op. Once you go ITX, you never go back. you can now get everything in one box
>>52091056
Next time I upgrade mate.
Can't fit my cooler and 2 graphics cards inside
>>52094729
They sound like manchildren to me.
>>52094972
Could I get a definition of "manchild"?
>>52094986
An adult that unironically enjoys entertainment media intended for children.
What's the point of mitx other than mobility? My mid tower fits on my desk just nicely and it's not like I'm living in a small 1 room apartment. If I wanted to move my desktop around a lot, I would just use a laptop.
>>52095004
But anon, most video games are aimed at adults.
>>52095004
>>52095020
Just because they are R16/18 doesn't mean they are actually aimed at adults.
The game makers understand their target demographics, the censors slap on whatever they want. Children will get their hands on the games anyway.
>>52095042
Do you not watch action movies either since kids can watch them?
There is objectively no reason to own a PC in 2016. Tablets do everything a PC can.
Need a gaming machine? Buy a console. Steam just got hacked and credit card numbers and personal info on millions of people got leaked into the internet. Not only that, but all you're getting with PC gaming is shitty console ports that the main studio contracted a group of 3-4 people to work on.
>b-but muh 60fps
Please, consoles nowadays do 60fps. Previous gen games are either locked to 30fps on the PC or have really shitty performance on even a high end PC (GTA5).
>>52095058
In general, no. Some action movies have plots and direction that can justify watching but most are just vapid explosion shit.
It's not so much that children can watch/play something but who it is aimed at. Censor ratings don't reflect who the developer is aiming their game at, just what the censor rates it as.
>>52095058
Really most mainstream media is aimed at kids. That's why I don't have a TV in my home. No children around, so obviously nobody that anything on TV is aimed at.

Yes there is, like if you need more than one expansion card

>>52097637
Why do ssd's always go under hdd?
>>52097669
Because they don't get hot and heat tends to rise so that's what i did, I'm going to move them down one (there are screw holes on the bottom) and install the first 4TB drive. The others are just 1TB each
>>52097703
>...and install the first 4TB drive
**on my next day off
>>52097703
Huh, I never noticed my hdd's ever going over 32°C, I have one slot gap between hdd and ssd with an intake fan nextdoor. But I see this placement trend almost always looking at builds.
>>52097768
I live in a hot area right now its cold but my hard drives have gotten to 42c
